EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) Board approved an additional $300,000 in Regional Measure M funds for the Traffic Signal Communication and Network System - Phase 1 Project (Project). Approval of the proposed Amendment will allow the additional funding to be available for the Project.
The Project includes three separate segments to update traffic signal infrastructure. The first two segments, Grant Avenue and Manhattan Beach Boulevard, have been completed. The remaining scope aims to update the operation of the City’s traffic signal infrastructure to accommodate both current and future needs for segments of Inglewood Avenue. The Amendment will fund improvements at the intersections of Inglewood Avenue/182nd Street and Inglewood Avenue/Ralston Lane and increase the total funding for the Project to $5,300,000.
BACKGROUND
Measure M is a one-half cent sales tax approved by the Los Angeles County voters in November 2016 to meet the transportation, highway, and transit needs of Los Angeles County. On August 27, 2020, the Metro Board programmed $2,000,000 in Measure M funds to the City for the Project Development, Project Approval/Environmental Documentation, Plans, Specifications, and Estimates, and Construction of the Traffic Signal Communication and Network System - Phase 1 Project. On September 28, 2023, the Metro Board programmed an additional $3,000,000 towards the Project. On September 25, 2025, the Metro Board programmed another $300,000 for a total of $5,300,000.
Inglewood Avenue is the final corridor slated for improvements in the scope of the Project. The proposed improvements at the intersections of 182nd Street and Ralston Lane include replacing signal poles, signal infrastructure, curb ramps, updating signal timing, implementing a video detection system, adding wireless capabilities for TMC integration, and incorporating adaptive signal coordination.
The amendment to the Funding Agreement should fully fund construction along the Inglewood Avenue corridor. The Agreement for traffic engineering services with the design consultant was approved on March 3, 2026 and development of the plans, specifications, and estimates is underway. Construction is anticipated to begin in Spring 2027.
COORDINATION
The Public Works Department prepared this report and the City Attorney’s Office approved the Agreement as to form.
FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the amendment will result in the availability of an additional $300,000 of Regional Measure M Funds for completion of the Traffic Signal Communication and Network System - Phase 1 Project and a total Project Budget of $5,300,000. The funding does not require a local match. The funds are paid to the City on a cost-reimbursement basis.
