Item No.2: PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING THE PROPOSED 2004-2011 CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.
The Public Works Director provided background information on this item.
Council Member McGill asked about the traffic report from 1998 compared to the
current report regarding the Holder Street Bridge project.
The Public Works Director stated that when application was made to the O.C.
Transportation Authority to get competitive funds for the construction of the Holder
Street Bridge, it was approved for funding in fiscal year :2006-2007. Subsequent to that,
staff did some traffic counts, traffic reports, and studies in 1998 and 2004, and found
that the traffic increase in some areas was modest and with some decreases in other
areas. The City Council felt it was not justified to move forward with the project at this
time so it is staff's recommendation to delay the project in the CIP until 2009-2010. He
stated that prior to that time, additional traffic counts and studies will be done.
Council Member McGill asked about the traffic mitigations in the report.
The Public Works Director stated that several mitigation measures were identified in the
report. The first measure is northbound dual left turn lanes at Knott at Katella, which is
currently being installed. The second measure would be adding an additional fourth
lane eastbound through the intersection of Katella and Valley View, which would require
the removal of the right turn lane. The last mitigation measure would be adding a free
right turn lane at Orangewood and Valley View. He statHd that in order to do this, there
must be a lane to receive traffic on Valley View, which would require acquiring right-of-
way property.
The public hearing was opened.
The Mayor read for the record a message from Bob Dreyling opposing the Holder
Street Bridge project and a message from the Schnaider family who are in favor of the
Holder Street Bridge project.
Mayor Keenan asked if there was anyone who wished to speak in favor of the item.

Laura Reed, Cypress
Jack Kates, Cypress
James Stainer
Tony Flores, Garden Grove
