DISCUSSION
At the January 16, 2007 City Council meeting, Windsor Village
Neighborhood residents expressed concerns about the traffic signal
modification at Edinger Avenue and Mohawk Drive (Exhibit 1). In
response the City Council directed staff to meet and discuss the
traffic signal modification with the Windsor Village Neighborhood and
Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) On February 7, 2007, City
staff met with the Windsor Village Neighborhood Association and SAUSD
to discuss the scope of the traffic signal modification which will
mitigate some of the traffic congestion at this intersection created by
the opening of the new Hector Godinez High School in Centennial Park.
The traffic signal modification will provide for eastbound/westbound
left turn arrows, northbound/southbound split phasing, a northbound
right turn arrow, and an eastbound right turn lane.
