(Project No. 15-6827 and 23-6701) (Non-General Fund)

DISCUSSION
The Fairview Avenue Improvements from 9th Street to 16th Street project, and the
Fairview Street Improvements from Monte Carlo Drive to Trask Avenue project were
awarded a total of $4,546,590 in funds by the Orange County Transportation Authority
(OCTA) Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) for
Fiscal Year 2022-23. Both projects’ scopes include widening the roadway from the
existing four lanes to six lanes to provide adequate vehicular capacity within the City’s
northern limits in addition to sidewalks, wheel chair ramps, raised medians, and traffic
signal modifications.
The Fairview Avenue Improvements from 9th Street to 16th Street project is currently in
the design phase of the project. In accordance with CTFP guidelines, the construction
contract for this project must be awarded by June 30, 2023. Despite diligent efforts to
advance this project to the construction phase, additional time is required to secure
matching funds to close the funding gap due to inflation.

construction. Approval of this request will safeguard against a potential lapse in grant
funding. The table below summarizes the request:
