TOPIC: Time Extension of Measure M2 CTFP Construction Grant Funds
AGENDA TITLE
Approve Submittal of Request for Time Extension of the Measure M2 Comprehensive
Transportation Funding Program for Warner Avenue Improvements Phase 2 and Bristol
Street and Memory Lane Projects (Project No. 14-6802 and 17-6883) (Non-General
Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the Public Works Agency to request a two-year time extension of Measure M2
Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program construction funds for the Warner
Avenue Improvements, Phase 2, from Oak Street to Grand Street project (21-SNTA-ACE-
3997) and for Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements (21-SNTA-ICE-
3995).
DISCUSSION
The Warner Avenue Improvements, Phase 2, from Oak Street to Grand Street project
and the Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements project were awarded
$10,088,805 in construction funding by the Orange County Transportation Authority
(OCTA) Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) for Fiscal
Year 2021-22.
The Warner Avenue improvements from Oak Street to Grand Street include adding
sidewalks and bike lanes, undergrounding utilities, and widening the roadway from the
existing four lanes to six lanes. In addition to the on-street, dedicated Class II bike lanes
and ADA-compliant sidewalks, the project includes a raised landscape median and
landscaped parkway buffer, both with drought-tolerant plants.
Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Widening Improvements involve the
widening of Bristol Street immediately north of Memory Lane to accommodate an
additional through southbound lane. Additionally, the proposed improvements would
include the construction of a sidewalk, curb and gutter, pavement, signal modification,
and curb ramps.

In accordance with CTFP guidelines, the construction phases for these projects must be
awarded by June 30, 2022. Acquisition and relocation activities need to be completed
before construction can begin, and despite diligent efforts to prepare these projects for
construction, additional time is needed in order to complete the right-of-way acquisition
before construction contracts can be awarded.
CTFP guidelines provide a one-time, two-year extension of Measure M2 CTFP funding,
which will allow sufficient time to complete acquisitions and prepare the project for
construction. The request also helps avoid a potential lapse in grant funding. The table
below summarizes the request:
