Document Description
The project site is located within the southern portion of the City of Mission Viejo. It is situated approximately 1.5-miles east of Interstate 5 at the intersection of Felipe Road and Oso Parkway; refer to Exhibit 1, Regional Location and Exhibit 2, Site Vicinity.
The purpose of this project is to improve localized traffic operations at the intersection of Felipe Road and Oso Parkway in Mission Viejo, County of Orange, California. Proposed improvements include widening all four legs approaching the intersection to provide dual left-turn lanes for both directions of Felipe Road and Oso Parkway and a designated right-turn lane for southbound Felipe Road.
The project is bounded on all four sides by residential developments and the land adjacent to the streets is owned by homeowner associations (HOAs) for those communities. On the west side of Felipe Road exist a retaining wall south of Oso Parkway and a fence north of Oso Parkway. On the east side of Felipe Road there is a large slope from the existing street right-of-way up to the residential property fences. With these existing conditions, the majority of the widening proposed for Felipe Road is on the east side and widening for Oso Parkway is on the north side.
The project also includes the following components:
- Retaining walls with masonry block for a majority of the project length - wall heights vary from 2 feet to 18 feet
- Improvements to existing curb ramps
- Traffic signal modification
- Signing and striping
- Drainage improvements
- Street lighting
- Landscaping improvements
- Addition of raised landscaped medians on Felipe Road
- Utility coordination/relocation
- Right-of-Way acquisition from landscaped areas under HOA ownership
