■ No. 25 — Cabrillo Park Drive at Park Court Place: Install two-phase traffic signal and implement all necessary signing and striping improvements. This improvement is subject to the review and approval of the City of Santa Ana. Figure 11-1 graphically illustrates the recommended and project specific improvements, as well as recommended circulation enhancements. Figure 11-2 presents a conceptual improvement plan for 4th Street between the I-5 NB Ramps and Cabrillo Park Drive that illustrates recommended signage and striping to inform motorists of availability of lanes to access the I-5 NB ramps and/or continue on 4th Street. The improvements are consistent with those recommended in Section 10.2 of this report. Please note that the proposed Project may be expected to pay the full construction cost needed to implement the signage and striping for the proposed freeway wayfinding at 4th Street and Cabrillo Park Drive. However, it is assumed that the City and/or Caltrans will provide maintenance of these improvements. 11.4 Project -Related Fair -Share Contribution The transportation impacts associated with the development of the Project were determined based on the Existing Plus Project, Year 2025 and Year 2040 Buildout traffic analyses. As summarized in Tables 8-1, 8-2 and 8-3, the development of the Project is anticipated to have a significant impact at two (2) locations. While the proposed Project is expected to pay the full constructions costs for the intersection of I-5 NB Ramps/Fourth Street, the Project can be expected to pay its fair share of the improvement costs at the intersection of SR-55 SB Ramps/Fourth Street to offset the Project's incremental traffic impact at these intersections. Although the intersection of Cabrillo Park Drive/Park Court Place is not considered significantly impacted, it was determined that the implementation of improvements at this location would help improve the level of service at this location, thereby enhancing access and circulation through this intersection for local area traffic as well as Project -related traffic. Therefore, based on collaboration with City staff, the proposed Project is expected to pay the full construction cost or install a traffic signal at this location. Table 11-1 presents the Project's fair -share contribution to construct the recommended improvements at the two (2) study intersections. As presented in this Table 11-1, the first column (1) presents a total of all intersection peak hour movements for existing conditions. The second column (2) presents Project -related added traffic volumes during AM peak hour and PM peak hour. The third column (3) presents Year 2040 Buildout traffic conditions with Project traffic. The fourth column (4) represents what percentage of total added intersection peak hour traffic is Project -related traffic. Review of Table 11-1 shows that the proposed Project's percentage of net traffic impact ranges from 12.30% to 100.00%. This percentage represents the Project's "fair -share" cost responsibility associated with the implementation of the recommended mitigation measures.
