Top issues during term (17)(Roads)
Curb Ramps and Street Improvements
About $50,000 for either option, up from $35,000 last year due to construction cost increases.
Street Parking on Laguna Hills Drive
About $12,000 for signing and striping, already covered in the public works operating budget.
Avenida de la Carlota Traffic Signal Synchronization
$146,500 from the city's capital improvement budget.
Residential Street Parking Pressure
Waiving permit fees citywide would cost about $37,500 a year; the council wants an equitable funding option studied.
Citywide street rehabilitation rebidding and gas tax inequity
$2.5 million is available for the repaving project; fairer funding could eventually mean significantly more street money.
Engineering and Traffic Survey for Speed Limits
The Compass software is free during the OCTA trial; the city would need to budget a subscription if it continues after the trial ends.
I-5/El Toro Road interchange project
A multi-million-dollar Measure M2-funded project; members of the council argued a low-cost signage alternative could achieve similar congestion relief.
Measure M compliance and street funding
SB 1 gas tax funds are reserved for the listed street maintenance projects.
I-5/El Toro Road interchange conflict with Hotel One
A conflict could delay or kill the hotel generating roughly $1.5 million in annual transient occupancy tax.
Paseo de Valencia and Cabot Road Active Transportation Enhancements (CIP 191)
The design contract is $817,298.
Southbound Cabot Road Closures
Traffic Conditions on Ericson Way
Parallel Parking Ordinance 2026-1

Moulton Parkway Median Island Modification (CIP 303)
