DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) opened the new Hector
Godinez High School in Centennial Park (Exhibit 1). Many parents are
using the intersection of Edinger Avenue and Mohawk Drive to access the
high school and are creating significant traffic congestion at this
intersection. To mitigate the congestion a traffic signal modification
is necessary. The traffic signal modification will provide for
eastbound/westbound left turn arrows, a northbound right turn arrow,
and an eastbound right turn lane.
The City and the SAUSD agreed to share the cost of this improvement. In
order to receive the funds from the SAUSD, a cooperative agreement is
needed between the City and the SAUSD. As part of the Cooperative
Agreement, the SAUSD will be required to provide the City with $70,000
to fund the modification of a traffic signal on Edinger Avenue and
25G-1

Mohawk Drive. The City will pay for the remainder of the cost which is
also estimated to be $70,000. The funds received by the City will be
used for design and construction of the traffic signal.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $70,000 for the City's share of the cost for this
proposed agreement are available in the Select Street Construction fund
(account no. 59-551-6631). Funds received from the SAUSD in the amount
of $70,000 will be deposited into the Select Street Construction fund
(account no. 59-01-5621-6) and appropriated into the Select Street
Construction fund (account no. 59-551-6631).
