Sick of Traffic Lights? Improvements Coming to Mission Viejo

(CNS) - Traffic signals will be coordinated in Mission Viejo and two other South County towns through an $8 million plan approved Monday by The Orange County Transportation Authority Board of Directors. The plan calls for coordination of 17 major streets.

The money comes from the voter-approved Measure M2, Orange County Transportation Authority spokesman Joel Zlotnik said.

"This is an exciting milestone and we are very happy to start delivering on the promises made under the renewed Measure M to cities throughout Orange County,'' said Supervisor Patricia Bates, chairwoman of the board.

"These are the first in what will be a long list of signal
synchronization projects to make the lives of our residents better over the next 30 years.''

Streets included in the project are:

• Crown Valley Parkway and Marguerite Parkway in Mission Viejo
• Del Obispo Street in San Juan Capistrano
• Avenida Pico and El Camino Real in San Clemente
• Lincoln Avenue in Anaheim
• Valley View Avenue in Buena Park
• Fairview Road in Costa Mesa
• Warner Avenue in Fountain Valley
• Bastanchury Road and Euclid Street in Fullerton
• Goldwenwest Street in Huntington Beach
• Jamboree Road in Irvine
• Lambert Road in La Habra
• MacArthur Boulevard, Talbert Avenue, Tustin Avenue and Rose in Santa Ana
