Subject: 91 Express Lanes Anaheim Facility Lease Renewal
Overview
On April 13, 2015, the Orange County Transportation Authority’s Board of
Directors approved the extension of the office lease for the 91 Express Lanes
office in Anaheim, as well as the addition of 2,639 square feet of office space to
allow for expansion. The expansion space will accommodate the extra staff
that will be needed when the Riverside County Transportation Commission and
the Orange County Transportation Authority commence the joint operations of
the toll roads. The leased space accommodates the traffic operations center,
data center, and administrative offices. Staff retained the brokerage services of
CBRE, Inc. to negotiate with the landlord, Kraemer II Fullerton, LLC, for a
15-year lease extension. A copy of the staff report recommending the lease
extension to the Board of Directors is attached.

To: Finance and Administration Comt ttee
From: Darrell Johnson,'. Chief Executive Officer
Subject: 91 Express Lanes Anaheim Facility Lease Renewal
Overview
Staff has evaluated the space and operational needs at the Anaheim Office for
the 91 Express Lanes in anticipation of the upcoming extension project in
Riverside County. The current office lease located at 180 North Riverview in
Anaheim Hills expires around the same time that the Riverside County
Transportation Commission toll lanes become operational in 2017. Several
strategies have been discussed as to how to proceed with future office space.
The preferred option would be to extend the existing lease now rather than
after improvements are made to the facility.
Recommendation
Authorize the Chief Executive Officer to execute Amendment No. 13 to
Agreement No. C-0-1412 with Kraemer II Fullerton LLC, to cover the 15 -year
lease extension for the 91 Express Lanes Anaheim Office, in an amount not to
exceed $5,976,000.
Background
Since 1993, the administrative functions for the 91 Express Lanes have been
located at the 180 North Riverview Drive office. This location has proven to be
desirable because of the proximity to the 91 Express Lanes facility. The
91 Express Lanes office currently occupies 9,346 square feet at the 180 North
Riverview Drive location, which equals approximately 16 percent of the
57,000 square foot building. The current monthly lease rate is $2.15 per square
foot and is currently set to increase to $2.20 on July 1, 2015. The current lease
expires on June 30, 2017.
The 91 Express Lanes Anaheim office accommodates the traffic operations
center, data center, as well as the office space for administrative employees

who handle the day-to-day functions of the 91 Express Lanes. The traffic
operations center is directly connected to the toll road gantries via dedicated
fiber optic cabling, making the location's proximity to the median of the
91 Express Lanes ideal. The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA)
has a recorded easement between the building and the gantries to
accommodate the direct cabling. The data center contains the hardware and
equipment necessary to support the Electronic Traffic and Toll Management
system, the back office/account management system.. and other ancillary
systems that support the 91 Express Lanes computing environment and
operation.
Riverside County Transportation Commission (RCTC) is in the process of
extending the 91 Express Lanes into Riverside County. OCTA and RCTC will
have a joint operation for the 91 Express Lanes and use one operator. The
joint operations will require additional staff and office space soon. Space needs
for the addition of RCTC personnel will require an additional 2,639 square feet
of office space at the 180 North Riverview location, bringing the total leased
space to approximately 11,985 square feet.
To accommodate the extra monitoring equipment and additional staffing, there
will also need to be upgrades made at the current facility. Modifications to the
data center and traffic operations center to accommodate the new ROTC toll
and traffic monitoring equipment, as well as necessary upgrades to power and
other required heating, ventilating, and air conditioning, lighting, and electrical
services will be required. Existing equipment and systems may require
relocation within the space. OCTA will take advantage of the economies of
scale from this renovation to upgrade any needed systems, as well. Any needs
identified as part of this process will require Board of Directors (Board)
approval once the needs are determined.
Given the extent of infrastructure investment that will be required, OCTA is in a
better position to renegotiate the lease now rather than in 2017 when the lease
is nearing expiration. Staff met in closed session with the Finance and
Administration Committee in October 2014 and discussed the desire to extend
the lease long-term. At that time, the committee recommended that staff also
look at purchasing a building. OCTA considered three options:
• Purchase a facility
• Lease long-term at another facility
• Extend lease at current location
OCTA's real estate broker, CBRE, Inc., conducted a property search along the
State Route 91 (SR -91) corridor to determine what was available for lease and

sale that fit within OCTA's needs. Potential lease properties were identified and
requests for proposals were sent out to landlords of those properties. Three
responses were received, including one from the current landlord. The two
other properties each proposed lease rates that were in line with the current
landlord's proposal, however, infrastructure and move costs more than offset
any savings. Additionally, the locations were class B and C buildings, so were
not truly comparable to the class A facility at the
180 North Riverview Drive building.
CBRE, Inc., also conducted a property search along the SR -91 corridor for
buildings that were available for purchase. Given the availability of properties
for sale as well as their sizes, it was determined that the purchase of a building
at this time was not in the best interest of OCTA. If OCTA were to acquire one
of these buildings, OCTA would become a landlord for a majority of the
building. This is outside of OCTA's core lines of business.
Other issues that were considered include the cost of moving the existing
infrastructure and replicating the existing conditions in the Anaheim Office. All
of these issues were modeled in a long-term cash flow to determine the best
financial option for the 91 Express Lanes.
In January 2015, staff updated the Finance and Administration Committee in
closed session and received approval to focus on the option to stay at the
current location and extend the lease.
Discussion
After months of negotiations, Kraemer II Fullerton, LLC, the property's landlord,
has proposed to lower the monthly rental rate for the currently leased space, as
of September 1, 2015, from $2.20 per square foot to $2.10 per square foot for
the first year, and escalate at the rate of three percent per square foot per year
thereafter. The proposed rates are comparable to other leases advertised and
recently leased facilities of similar space in the area. In addition, the landlord
will delay the rent commencement on the expansion space to January 1, 2016.
ROTC will pay 100 percent of the rent for the expansion space until their
opening date of the extension (expected to be in January 2017), at which time
OCTA and RCTC will begin splitting the cost of the entire leased space, both
current and expansion. This cost sharing is per the two-party agreement
executed between OCTA and RCTC in December 2011.
Other terms of the lease include a $50,000 tenant improvement allowance that
is available to use for infrastructure improvements to the space. At the end of
the initial 15 -year term, an additional five-year option is available. That lease
91 Express Lanes Anaheim Facility Lease Renewal Page 4
rate will be based on 95 percent of the fair market lease value at the time of
renewal for the Anaheim Hills area.
The next steps include:
• An amendment with a detailed work plan for the expansion space and
remodeled traffic operations center
• An agreement for funding exchanges between RCTC and OCTA for rent,
utilities, and improvements
• Staff will begin focusing on the customer service center in Corona
Staff will return to the Board seeking approval for these future agreements.
Fiscal Impact
Funds for the first year of the office lease are included in the Fund 36 fiscal
year 2015-16 proposed budget.
Summary
Staff is recommending the Board of Directors authorize the Chief Executive
Officer to execute Amendment No. 13 to Agreement No. C-0-1412 with
Kraemer II Fullerton, LLC., to cover the 15 -year lease extension for the
91 Express Lanes Anaheim office, in an amount not to exceed $5,976,000.

ORANGE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
2015 State Route 91 Implementation Plan
Staff Report
Orange County Transportation Authority
550 South Main Street / P.O. Box 14184 / Orange / California 92863-1584 / (714) 560-OCTA (6282)
May 29, 2015
To: State Route 91 Advisory Committee
From: Darrell Johnson, Chief Executive Officer
Subject: 2015 State Route 91 Implementation Plan
Overview
The Orange County Transportation Authority annually prepares a long-range
plan for improvements along the State Route 91 corridor between State Route 57
and Interstate 15 in Riverside County. The plan includes a listing of potential
improvements, preliminary cost estimates, and implementation timeframes.
The 2015 State Route 91 Implementation Plan is provided.
Recommendation
Receive and file as an information item.
Background
AB 1010 (Chapter 688, Statutes of 2002) requires the
Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) to a nnually prepare a plan
and a proposed schedule for improvements along State Route 91 (SR -91)
between Interstate 15 (I-15) and State Route 55 (SR-55). The preparation of the
plan is conducted in consultation with the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans), the Riverside County Transportation
Commission (RCTC), the Transportation Corridor Agencies (TCA), and the cities
of Anaheim, Yorba Linda, and Corona.
On September 30, 2008, SB 1316 (Chapter 714, Statutes of 2008) was signed
into law. This bill built upon AB 1010 to extend the limits of the
corridor to State Route 57 (SR-57), authorize RCTC to operate a toll facility along
the portion of the SR-91 in Riverside County, and extend the timeframe for the
operations of the toll lanes to 2065. SB 1316 also permits use of excess toll
revenues for congestion relief projects or services along the SR-91 corridor
between SR-57 and the Orange/Riverside County line.
2015 State Route 91 Implementation Plan Page 2
The intent of the SR-91 Implementation Plan (Plan) is to outline planned
improvements in the SR-91 corridor that could be partially funded by excess toll
revenues. The Plan describes projects and transportation benefits, anticipated
implementation schedules by milestone year, and costs for major projects
through 2035. The Plan is not constrained to any particular revenue source,
rather a listing of potential improvements that can relieve congestion in the
corridor. The projects for the Plan represent an inventory of improvements
studied in past technical studies and have been updated based on the latest
project information, RCTC’s ten-year delivery plan, and Proposition 1B Corridor
Mobility Improvement Account information.
Discussion
OCTA, Caltrans, and RCTC have made significant progress in improving the
SR-91 corridor since 2002. The completed projects below have added 21 lane
miles and have relieved critical chokepoints:
Green River Road Overcrossing Improvement Project
Eastbound lane addition from State Route 241 (SR-241) to
State Route 71 (SR-71)
Lane addition in both directions between SR-55 and SR-241
North Main Street Corona Metrolink Parking Structure Project
The Plan, which includes input from the stakeholders, is provided in Attachment A.
The projects are organized by readiness and logical sequencing; however, full
funding for all projects has not been secured.
Early improvements in the corridor are anticipated to be completed by 201 9 and
include five projects at a total cost of $1.9 billion. A major component of this
group is the initial phase of RCTC’s Corridor Improvement Project (CIP). This
project will include several improvements in the corridor such as:
widening SR-91 by one general purpose lane (GP) in each direction east
of Green River Road
adding collector-distributor roads in the vicinity of the City of Corona
adding I-15/SR-91 direct high-occupancy vehicle/high-occupancy
toll (HOV/HOT) south connector
adding southbound HOV/HOT lanes on I-15 to Ontario Avenue
extending the 91 Express Lanes to I-15
providing system/local interchange improvements
The four additional projects that will also be implemented by 2019 are:
A new SR-91 westbound lane at Tustin Avenue
Metrolink service improvements
Express bus service improvements between Orange and Riverside counties
Direct connectors between the 91 Express Lanes and SR-241
2015 State Route 91 Implementation Plan Page 3
OCTA and TCA continue to advance the 91 Express Lanes/SR-241 connector.
The project approval and environmental document phase is currently in
progress, and an agreement between OCTA and TCA addressing funding for
project development is in place. A traffic and revenue (T&R) study will determine
the amount of incremental toll revenues generated by the new connector. OCTA
and TCA are also discussing some initial assumptions for the study. For the
purposes of upcoming studies, it is assumed that TCA will be the lead for
design, construction, and operation of the connector given that they have an
existing agreement with Caltrans in this regard. These assumptions can be
revisited if the studies suggest more ideal approaches. The T&R study will be
completed by TCA in 2016, and construction is scheduled to begin in 2017,
contingent upon available funding.
OCTA is conducting a feasibility study to explore concepts for operational
improvements to address congestion in the vicinity of the SR -91/SR-55
interchange. Concepts will include intermediate access to the 91 Express Lanes,
improvements to the SR-91 to SR-55 connector, and improvements to the east
bound SR-91 west of the SR-55 interchange. Once completed,
recommendations can be included in future updates of the Plan.
Three other projects are slated for implementation between 2020 and 2025,
including improvements at the SR-71/SR-91 interchange, Metrolink station
improvements at Placentia and Anaheim Canyon, and widening of SR-91
between SR-57 and SR-55. Projects for implementation by 2025 are estimated
to cost between $388 million and $885 million.
Improvements for implementation by 2035 focus on longer lead time concepts
and include:
Ultimate phase of the 91 CIP which includes:
widening SR-91 by one GP lane in each direction from SR-241 to
SR-71
adding I-15/SR-91 direct HOV/HOT north connectors
adding northbound HOV/HOT lanes on I-15 to Hidden Valley Parkway
improving SR-91 east of I-15
Fairmont Boulevard improvements at SR-91
The post-2035 list of improvements included in Appendix A of the Plan are
conceptual in nature and lack foreseeable funding. Appendix A includes an
elevated four-lane facility between SR-241 and I-15 (Corridor A), Anaheim to
Ontario International Airport high-speed ground transportation system, and the
Irvine-Corona Expressway (ICE), from SR-241/State Route 133 to I-15/
Cajalco Road. The projected cost of these mega projects is in excess of
$14 billion, and the implementation will require a significant amount of planning,
design, external funding, and future policy and public input.
2015 State Route 91 Implementation Plan Page 4
Staff continues to monitor the financial viability of the ICE concept as requested
by the SR-91 Advisory Committee and the Riverside Orange Corridor Authority.
The ICE has not moved beyond the conceptual phase due to the current
economic climate, lack of state and federal transportation fun ding, and the high
construction cost. Until considerable advancements are made in efficient and
affordable tunneling technology, and more state and federal funding is available,
the project will be a challenge to complete.
The 2015 Plan includes updated traffic analysis which indicates that planned
improvements will decrease congestion and improve peak hour travel speeds.
Specifically, in the eastbound direction, average travel time through
the corridor decreases by 16 percent in 2025. Moving westbound, the travel time
decreases by 32 percent beginning in 2019. W hen the full scope of the
Riverside County improvements for SR-91 are implemented by 2035, travel
times in both directions remain close to or slightly less than existing travel times,
even with anticipated population and employment growth .
Summary
The Orange County Transportation Authority has completed the
2015 State Route 91 Implementation Plan required by AB 1010 and
subsequently, SB 1316. Updates include project schedules, project
descriptions, costs, and traffic analysis. The final document will be transmitted
to appropriate members of the State Legislature.

2015 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 1
SECTION 1: 2015 Status Report and Update
INTRODUCTION
Previous law authorized the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) to enter into franchise
agreements with private companies to construct and
operate four demonstration toll road projects in California.
This resulted in the development of the 91 Express Lanes
facility in Orange County. The four-lane, 10-mile toll road
runs along the median of State Route 91 (SR-91) in
northeast Orange County between the Orange/Riverside
County line and State Route 55 (SR-55). Since the 91
Express Lanes carried its first vehicle on December 27,
1995, the facility has saved users tens of millions of hours
of commuting time (over 50 million hours since 2003).
While the 91 Express Lanes facility has improved travel
time along the SR-91 corridor, provisions in the franchise
agreement between Caltrans and the private franchisee,
the California Private Transportation Company (CPTC),
prohibited Caltrans and county transportation agencies
from adding transportation capacity or operational
improvements to the SR-91 corridor through the year 2030
from Interstate 15 (I-15) in Riverside County to the
Orange/Los Angeles Counties border. Consequently, the
public agencies were barred from adding new lanes,
improving interchanges, and adding other improvements
to decrease congestion on the SR-91 freeway.
Recognizing the need to eliminate the non-compete
provision of the franchise agreement, Governor Gray
Davis signed Assembly Bill 1010 (Lou Correa) (AB 1010)
into law in September 2002, paving the way for much-
needed congestion relief for thousands of drivers who use
SR-91 to travel between Riverside and Orange Counties
each day. The bill allowed the Orange County
Transportation Authority (OCTA) to purchase the 91
Express Lanes franchise and eliminate the existing clause
that prohibited any capacity-enhancing improvements
from being made to SR-91 until the year 2030. The
purchase agreement for the 91 Express Lanes was
completed on January 3, 2003, placing the road in public
hands at a cost of $207.5 million. With the elimination of
the non-compete provision through AB 1010 and the
subsequent 91 Express Lanes purchase by OCTA,
Orange County and Riverside County public officials and
Caltrans Districts 8 and 12 have been coordinating
improvement plans for SR-91.
Senate Bill 1316 (Lou Correa) (SB 1316) was signed into
law in September 2008 as an update to the provisions of
AB 1010. SB 1316 authorizes OCTA to transfer its rights
and interests in the Riverside County portion of SR-91 toll
lanes by assigning them to the Riverside County
Transportation Commission (RCTC), and authorizes
RCTC to impose tolls for 50 years. SB 1316 also requires
OCTA, in consultation with Caltrans and RCTC, to issue
an annual SR-91 Implementation Plan (Plan) and a
proposed completion schedule for SR-91 improvements
from State Route 57 (SR-57) to I-15. The Plans prior to
adoption of SB 1316 included a westerly project limit of
SR-55. The Plan establishes a program of projects
eligible for funding by the use of potential excess toll
revenue and other funds.
This 2015 Plan is the result of the requirement to provide
the State Legislature with an annual Implementation Plan
for SR-91 improvements and builds on the 2014 report,
which was a major update of the previous annual
Implementation Plans. This year’s update includes
projects that were identified in the 2006 Riverside County
– Orange County Major Investment Study (MIS) as well as
other project development efforts and funding programs
such as the RCTC 10-Year Western County Highway
Delivery Plan that outlines a number of projects such as
the extension of High Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lanes from
the Orange/Riverside County line to I-15, the California
Transportation Commission (CTC) Corridor Mobility
Improvement Account (CMIA) that provides a funding
source for transportation projects, the extension of the
Measure A program that provides funding for
transportation projects in Riverside County, and the
Renewed Measure M program that provides funding for
transportation projects in Orange County. The 2015 Plan
includes an overview, identification of issues and needs,
time frames for project packages to improve mobility on
SR-91, and are listed based on a logical sequence for
implementation. Project descriptions include conceptual
2015 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 2
lane diagrams (as appropriate), cost estimates (in 2015
dollars, or as noted), and discussion of key considerations
that need to be addressed in the planning and
development of each project. This Plan will provide
OCTA, RCTC, and Caltrans with a framework to
implement SR-91 and other related improvements. Future
annual Plan updates will continue to refine the scope,
cost, and schedule of each project included in this version
of the Plan.
PROJECT ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Much progress has been made since the initial 2003
SR-91 Implementation Plan was approved. The 2015
Plan includes select completed project exhibits as a
historical reference, see Section 4 Appendix B.
Completed Construction/Improvement Projects
As of June 2015, the following physical improvements
have been constructed/implemented:
Repave and seal pavement surfaces, restripe, and
replace raised channelizers on the 91 Express Lanes.
EB SR-91 restripe and median barrier reconstruction
project that removed the CHP enforcement area and
extended the EB auxiliary lane from SR-71 to the
Serfas Club Drive off-ramp.
WB auxiliary lane extension between the County line
and SR-241. This project eliminated the lane drop at
the 91 Express Lanes and extended the existing
auxiliary lane from the County line to SR-241 in the
westbound direction. This improvement minimized
the traffic delays at the lane drop area, resulting in
improved vehicle progression.
WB restripe project extended the auxiliary lane
between SR-71 and the County line resulting in a new
continuous auxiliary lane between SR-71 &
SR-241.
Express Bus improvements are implemented for the
Galleria at Tyler to South Coast Metro route and
Village at Orange to Riverside/Corona.
Safety Improvements at the Truck Scales. Existing
shoulders were improved, lanes were re-striped,
illumination improved, and signage was modified into
and out of the EB facilities.
Green River Road overcrossing replacement (See
Section 4).
Metrolink parking structure at the North Main Street
Corona Metrolink Station (See Section 4).
EB SR-91 lane addition from SR-241 to SR-71 (See
Section 4).
New SR-91 WB/EB travel lanes between SR-55 and
SR-241 (See Section 4).
These projects provide enhanced freeway capacity and
improved mobility for one of the most congested segments
of SR-91.
The completed EB SR-91 lane addition project from
SR-241 to SR-71 (See Section 4) has greatly enhanced
highway operations. This accounts for some of the
improvement in existing EB p.m. peak hour travel time
from approximately 70+ minutes in 2010 to approximately
50 minutes in 2014 (for the baseline travel time).
In addition, there are two projects that are currently in the
construction phase that have a direct impact upon SR-91
widening projects. The first is the $2 billion U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers (Corps) Santa Ana River Mainstem
(SARM) improvement project that provides flood
protection from the recently improved Prado Dam (near
SR-71) to the Pacific Ocean. As part of the Corps’ project,
existing riverbanks are being improved due to the
increased capacity of the Prado Dam outlet works, which
can now release up to 30,000 cubic feet per second (cfs)
compared to the previous facility capacity of 10,000 cfs.
The only remaining segment of the Santa Ana River to be
improved is Reach 9 Phase 2A, which includes areas
along SR-91 from just east of the Coal Canyon Wildlife
Corridor Crossing to SR-71. SR-91 project design teams
have coordinated with the Corps, Caltrans, and other
federal, regional, and local agencies in order to
accommodate future SR-91 improvements by the Corps
bank protection project within Reach 9 Phase 2B by
relocating the Santa Ana River. This has greatly
enhanced the ability of Caltrans and other regional
transportation agencies to implement many of the SR-91
improvement projects listed herein. The Corps SARM
Reach 9 improvements were under construction as of
September 2009 with American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act (ARRA) “stimulus” funding and were
largely completed by June 2014.
The other project with a direct impact to SR-91 is the $120
million Santa Ana Regional Interceptor (SARI) sewer trunk
line relocation. The existing SARI line is within the Santa
Ana River floodplain and was in jeopardy of failure due to
scour from the potential increased flood releases by the
aforementioned Corps project. In order to relocate the
proposed 48-inch diameter SARI line outside of the
2015 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 3
floodplain, which is immediately adjacent to SR-91,
Caltrans highway R/W was relinquished to the Orange
County Flood Control District (OCFCD) for location of the
SARI line. SR-91 project teams have coordinated with the
OCFCD, Caltrans, and other federal, regional, and local
agencies in order to accommodate planned SR-91
improvements within the remaining State R/W subsequent
to relinquishment. This project completed the construction
phase in mid-2014.
Completed Designs and other Reports
In addition to the physical improvements in the corridor,
there are various project development phase documents
(Feasibility Reports, Studies, PSR, PA/ED, or PS&E) that
are completed, or are in draft form and anticipated to be
approved that identify improvements that will provide
improved mobility. These documents include (also see
Section 5):

Updates from the 2014 SR-91 Implementation Plan
In addition to the improvements and progress noted
above, the following items that were included in the 2014
SR-91 Implementation Plan have been modified for the
2015 Plan update:
Project schedules have been revised within the
horizon year timelines. The 2016 horizon year is
updated to 2019.
Various project descriptions, costs, and schedules
have been updated from the 2014 Plan based on
continued project development.
Projects that were identified for implementation by
Post-2035 are now defined as Concepts by Post-
2035 and are located in Appendix A.
The WB SR-91 to SB SR-55 flyover reconstruction
(Option 1 in the PSR) is included in Project #8.
SR-91 CORRIDOR CONDITIONS
Project Limits
The project study limits encompass the segment of SR-91
from west of the junction of SR-57 and SR-91 in the City
of Anaheim in Orange County, to east of the junction of
SR-91 and I-15 in the City of Corona in Riverside County.
The freeway segment is approximately 20.3 miles long,
and includes approximately 12.7 miles within Orange
County and approximately 7.6 miles within Riverside
County.
Traffic Conditions Summary
A review of traffic conditions in the Corridor indicates that
the existing carrying capacity of the facility is inadequate
to accommodate current and future peak demand
volumes, and that Level of Service (LOS) F prevails in the
peak direction during the entire peak period, where LOS F
is defined as the worst freeway operating condition and is
defined as a density of more than 45 passenger
cars/lane/mile. The results also indicate that there are
several physical constraints that generate unacceptable
traffic queues. The following list summarizes the
deficiencies identified along the SR-91 Corridor:
Heavy traffic volumes from I-15 (North and South)
converge with SR-91. The weaving and merging
condition is complicated by the close proximity of the
Westbound (WB) Main Street off-ramp.
2015 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 4
High demand from several on-ramps within the
eastern segment exacerbates traffic conditions during
peak hours.
High traffic volumes from Gypsum Canyon Road and
Santa Ana Canyon Road contribute to congestion on
the mainline.
One of the two EB lanes from The Eastern
Transportation Corridor (State Route 241) is dropped
at the merge to State Route 91 (SR-91), causing
additional congestion in the EB direction.
Heavy traffic reentering the freeway merges at slow
speeds from existing WB and EB truck scales,
impacting the general-purpose lanes.
SR-55 merges with SR-91. An EB lane on SR-91 is
dropped (as a dedicated exit) at Lakeview Avenue
and a second EB lane is dropped (as a dedicated
exit) at Imperial Highway creating a weave condition.
WB SR-91 drops a GP lane and a 91 Express Lane to
SB SR-55, which contributes to mainline congestion.
This drop also occurs on the left-hand side of SR-91
as opposed to the typical right-hand connector exit.
High demand from Weir Canyon Road, Imperial
Highway and Lakeview Avenue increases delay
during the peak hours.
WB traffic entering SR-91 at Lakeview Avenue to
southbound (SB) SR-55 contributes to mainline
congestion by weaving through three lanes on WB
SR-91.
PROJECT SUMMARY
Many of the highway projects and concepts identified in
this 2015 Plan are based on the MIS that was completed
in January 2006. The projects and concepts are
presented based on potential implementation schedules
and priorities established in the MIS as well as through
subsequent project development. Table 1 summarizes the
various pending, potential concepts, and completed
projects in the 2015 Plan, and they are outlined below by
implementation/construction schedule (see Section 2 for
detailed pending projects, Section 3 Appendix A for
concept project summaries, and Section 4 Appendix B for
completed project summaries):
The first set of projects is anticipated to be completed
by 2019 and includes five improvements at a total
cost of approximately $1.9 billion. The projects
include a new SR-91 WB auxiliary lane at Tustin
Avenue; Metrolink service improvements; the Initial
SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project (CIP) that will
widen SR-91 by one GP lane in each direction east of
Green River Rd, add collector-distributor (CD) roads
and direct south connectors at I-15/SR-91, extend the
91 Express Lanes to I-15, and provide system/local
interchange improvements; Express Bus service
improvements; and a State Route 241 (SR-241)/ 91
Express Lanes connector. These projects are in the
process of final design, construction, or procurement
and implementation, as noted in the project
summaries.
Three projects for implementation by 2025 include the
interchange improvements at SR-71/SR-91, Metrolink
station improvements, and SR-91 widening
improvements between SR-57 and
SR-55. OCTA, RCTC, and Caltrans have initiated
preliminary planning activities for these projects to
ensure readiness when local, state, or federal funding
becomes available. Some of the 2025 projects are
funded and underway in various stages of project
development. Projects for implementation by 2025
would cost approximately $388 million to $885 million.
Projects for implementation by 2035 focus on longer-
lead time projects and include a potential new
interchange or overcrossing at Fairmont Boulevard
and the Ultimate SR-91 CIP that includes widening
SR-91 by one GP lane in each direction from SR-241
to Green River Road, I-15/SR-91 Direct North
Connector, and SR-91 improvements east of I-15.
Long-range concepts for potential implementation by
Post-2035 in Appendix A include an elevated 4-lane
facility (MIS Corridor A) from SR-241 to I-15, the
Anaheim to Ontario International Airport Maglev High
Speed Rail, and the Irvine-Corona Expressway (ICE)
4-lane facility from SR-241/ SR-133 to I-15/Cajalco
Road (formerly known as MIS Corridor B). These
three multi-billion dollar potential concepts require a
significant amount of planning, design, and future
policy and public input. In some cases, these concepts
2015 SR-91 IMPLEMENTATION PLAN 5
may include previous projects as components,
such that all concepts within this summary may not
be implemented.
Traffic Analysis
For the 2015 Plan, the traffic analysis for major SR-91
capacity projects has been updated from the 2014
Plan. This analysis used the latest freeway operations
software model available from UC Berkeley and traffic
data calibrated to reflect new traffic patterns since the
2014 Plan. This freeway operations model provides a
better depiction of actual travel delays experienced by
motorists compared to traditional travel demand
models. The model can be used to analyze freeway
bottlenecks sometimes neglected in traditional travel
demand models. This approach is especially important
given high SR-91 traffic volumes and the potential for
relatively few vehicles to significantly slow down traffic.
For example, a minor freeway merging area can cause
many vehicles to slow, cascading delay through the
traffic stream, and suddenly both speed and volume
rapidly decrease for major segments of the freeway.
The operations analysis quantified travel time savings
for WB morning and EB afternoon conditions for the
following major capacity enhancing projects:
New SR-91 WB/EB lanes from SR-71 to I-15 by
2017 (Initial CIP, Project 3).
SR-241/91 Express Lanes connector with lanes to
Coal Canyon on SR-91 by 2019 (Project 5).
SR-91 EB lane between SR-57 and SR-55 by
2025 (Project 8).
New SR-91 WB/EB lanes, various segments, from
SR-241 to I-15 by 2035 (Ultimate CIP, Project 10).
The WB morning (a.m.) traffic analysis results indicate
that for the year 2019 forecasts, travel times in
Riverside and Orange Counties are anticipated to
improve significantly (by about 24 minutes) due to the
inclusion of the Initial Phase of the CIP (Project #3),
though bottlenecks are anticipated at the Orange-
Riverside County line and at the SR-55 interchange. A
minor bottleneck is shown at the SR-241 interchange.
The main bottlenecks in Riverside County have
decreased because of the completion of proposed
projects (including the Initial Phase of the CIP), though
some congestion is still forecasted. In the year 2025

forecast, WB bottlenecks occur at Main Street, the
Orange-Riverside County line, at the SR-241 interchange,
and at the SR-55 interchange. This results in an increase
in travel time, mostly within Riverside County from about
16 minutes in 2019 to over 40 minutes in 2025. Assuming
Corridor A and the ICE are not constructed by 2035,
bottlenecks appear at Main Street, just east of the SR-71
interchange, at the Orange-Riverside County line, at the
SR-241 interchange, and at the SR-55 interchange. With
completion of the ultimate CIP project, Riverside County
travel times improve dramatically with reduction to near
2019 levels (about 16 minutes). For all forecast horizon
years, travel times in Orange County remain relatively
unchanged between Existing (2014) and 2035 with the
exception that there is about a 20 minute travel time
savings with implementation of projects in 2019. OCTA
has initiated a study to address the operational aspects at
the WB SR-91 to SB SR-55 movement as well as explore
multi-modal opportunities on, or adjacent to, the SR-91
corridor that would relieve congestion.
The EB evening (p.m.) traffic analysis indicates that for the
year 2019 forecasts, bottlenecks are shown just before the
SR-55 interchange and at the Orange-Riverside County
line. Implementation of Project #3, the Initial Phase of the
CIP, results in decreased Riverside County corridor travel
times from approximately 21 minutes to under 10 minutes.
In the year 2025 forecast, EB bottlenecks are still shown
west of the SR-55 interchange and at the Orange-
Riverside County line. The queuing in Riverside County
has largely decreased because of the completion of
proposed projects, and corridor travel times are forecast to
be less than existing conditions through 2035. For the
2035 horizon year, bottlenecks appear at SR-55, at the
SR-241 interchange, and at Lincoln Avenue. The 2035
travel times remain consistently low for EB SR-91 in
Riverside County. Figures 1-1 and 1-2 below show the
travel times by horizon year.

ICE Status Summary
The ICE concept (see Concept #A-3) was conceived as
part of the MIS and was established as part of a suite of
projects to support future peak demand volumes between
Riverside and Orange Counties. The ICE was further
evaluated in 2009 for financial and geotechnical feasibility.
Seven (7) primary feasibility issues were considered:
Geologic, hydrogeologic/hydrologic, and
geotechnical conditions
Corridor concepts (full tunnel and partial
tunnel/partial surface road)
Tunnel configuration
Tunnel excavation and support methods
Tunnel systems (e.g. ventilation, emergency fire
system, operation building, toll system, etc.)
Construction considerations
Construction, Operation & Maintenance (O&M)
costs
At the conclusion of the financial and geotechnical
feasibility study in 2010, the Riverside-Orange Corridor
Authority Board (ROCA) directed staff to shelve the
project due to its high construction cost and the difficult
economic climate, and to reevaluate the concept on an
annual basis during the preparation of the SR-91
Implementation Plan.
The National Forest Service has continued monitoring of
the ground water level along the preliminary alignment of
the tunnel and has not found any significant changes
since 2010. The technological ability to construct the
large-diameter tunnels is currently available; however, the
cost of tunnel boring machines (TBM) required to
construct this project has not been reduced significantly.
In general, no significant changes to the seven feasibility
issues considered for the ICE concept have occurred over
the last five years.
Conclusion
An assessment of current economic conditions, lack of
state and federal transportation funding; and the high
construction cost is hampering the ability of OCTA and
RCTC to implement this concept. Until considerable
advancements are made in regards to efficient and
affordable tunneling technology, and more state and
federal funding are made available, the concept will
remain a challenge to implement.

SECTION 2: Implementation Plan
OVERVIEW
The 2015 Plan describes projects, implementation
schedules, key consideration, benefits, and costs (in 2015
dollars, or as noted) for major projects and concepts
through Post-2035. Most of the projects and concepts
identified in this Implementation Plan are based on the
MIS that was completed in January 2006. The projects
and concepts are presented based on potential
implementation schedules and priorities established in the
MIS and subsequent updates. The schedules for
implementation of the packages of projects include 2019,
2025, and 2035. The 2019 projects are capable of being
implemented through the project development process
with minimal to moderate environmental constraints.
Some of the longer-range projects for 2025 and 2035
require more significant planning and environmental
assessment prior to design.
Each of the project or concept improvements includes an
estimate of project schedules. It is important to note that
implementing various time saving measures, such as
design-build or contractor incentives for early completion,
may potentially reduce project schedules. The
implementation phases are defined as follows:
Conceptual Engineering = Pre-Project Study
Report (Pre-PSR) – Conceptual planning and
engineering for project scoping and feasibility prior to
initiating the PSR phase.
Preliminary Engineering = Project Study Report
(PSR) – Conceptual planning and engineering phase
that allows for programming of funds.
Environmental = Project Approval/Environmental
Document (PA/ED) – The detailed concept design
that provides environmental clearance for the project
and programs for final design and right of way
acquisition. The duration for this phase is typically
2-3 years.
Design = Plans, Specifications and Estimates
(PS&E) – Provide detailed design to contractors for
construction bidding and implementation.
Construction = The project has completed
construction and will provide congestion relief to
motorists.
The intent of these Implementation Plan project packages
is to provide an action list for OCTA, RCTC and Caltrans
to pursue in the project development process or for
initiating further studies.

Projects By Year 2019
The first set of projects will be completed by 2019 and includes five (5) improvements at a total cost of approximately $1.9
billion (in 2015 dollars, or as noted). The five projects include a new SR-91 WB auxiliary lane at Tustin Avenue; Metrolink
service improvements; the Initial SR-91 Corridor Improvement Project (CIP) that will widen SR-91 by one GP lane in each
direction east of Green River Rd, add collector-distributor (CD) roads and direct south connectors at I-15/SR-91, extend the 91
Express Lanes to I-15, and provide system/local interchange improvements; Express Bus service improvements; and a
SR-241/ 91 Express Lanes connector . Further details for each of the projects are included following the summary below.

Projects By Year 2025
Projects for implementation by 2025 include the interchange improvements at SR-71/SR-91, Metrolink station improvements,
and SR-91 widening improvements between SR-57 and SR-55. Some of the 2025 projects are funded and underway in
various stages of project development. OCTA, RCTC, and Caltrans have initiated preliminary planning activities for these
projects to ensure readiness when local, state, or federal funding becomes available. Consequently, there may be
opportunities to advance these projects if additional funding is made available. Projects for implementation by 2025 are
expected to cost approximately $388 million to $885 million (in 2015 dollars, or as noted).
