The <br />cooperative agreement for the Fairview Street project would provide for inter -jurisdictional traffic <br />signal synchronization and improvements along the corridor traversing Santa Ana, Costa Mesa, <br />and Caltrans jurisdictions. <br />In April 2016, the OCTA Board approved the renewed Measure M2 Regional Traffic Signal <br />Synchronization Program funding request for the Fairview Street project. While Costa Mesa will <br />act as lead agency for the project, a cooperative agreement is needed to identify the roles and <br />responsibilities of Costa Mesa and Santa Ana, and provide for Costa Mesa oversight to maintain <br />inter -jurisdictional synchronization on the project during the three-year grant period (Exhibit 1). <br />Council approval of the cooperative agreement is required from both cities, and the Costa Mesa <br />City Council is scheduled to review this item on March 20, 2018. Upon completion of the grant <br />period, responsibility for ongoing signal maintenance will revert to the respective local agencies. <br />25C-1 <br />
