Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Laguna Hills public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Curb Ramps and Street Improvements
A year after the initial warrants study rejected all-way stops, the Commission recommended the flashing-beacon crosswalk option at Aliso Hills and El Segundo — a $50,000 project. Staff will try to shave costs by bundling with an existing repaving bid.
Avenida de la Carlota Traffic Signal Synchronization
The city joined regional programs to upgrade signals along La Paz Road and Cabot Road with other cities — better traffic flow on corridors residents drive daily, with only anonymous vehicle-count data shared.
Measure M compliance and street funding
The council adopted the annual state-required list of streets eligible for gas tax (SB 1) funding. Actual spending choices on specific roads come later.
Moulton Parkway Median Island Modification (CIP 303)
A median island safety fix at Moulton Parkway and Mandeville Drive moves to bidding, over one council member's objection.
Southbound Cabot Road Closures
SoCal Gas plans to close southbound Cabot Road for construction work; drivers should expect detours.
Paseo de Valencia and Cabot Road Active Transportation Enhancements (CIP 191)
The council hired Psomas for $817,298 to design walking and biking upgrades along two major corridors.
Parking Stall Delineation on Via Lomas
A plan to paint parallel parking spaces on Via Lomas was pushed to a future meeting so questions could be answered.
Traffic Conditions on Ericson Way
A staff report reviewing traffic conditions on Ericson Way was scheduled for the Commission's review.
Santa Maria Avenue pavement management project
Laguna Hills and Laguna Woods will jointly manage repaving of eastbound Santa Maria Avenue between Santa Vittoria Drive and Moulton Parkway — smoother pavement for drivers on that corridor.
