WITH THE FRENCH VALLEY PARKWAY/INTERSTATE 15
OVERCROSSING AND INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENTS —
PROJECT NUMBERS PW02-11 AND PW07-04
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Findinps.
A. The French Valley Parkway/Interstate 15 Overcrossing and Interchange
Improvements - PW02-11 and PW07-04 ("Proposed Project") is identified in the City's Capital
Improvement Program for Fiscal Years 2013-17. The Proposed Project would construct a new
interchange, French Valley Parkway, at Interstate 15, between the existing Winchester Road
(State Route 79 North and the Interstate 15/Interstate 215 junction), along with enhancements
to facilitate improved operations on the existing mainline facility. French Valley Parkway would
be constructed as a six-lane arterial highway from Jefferson Avenue to Ynez Road. Auxiliary
lanes would be provided in both the northbound and southbound directions. The Proposed
Project would also construct an up to three-lane collector distributor system parallel to Interstate
15 between the Interstate 15/Interstate 215 confluence and Winchester Road in both the
northbound and southbound directions. The collector distributor system will relieve mainline
congestion in this area caused by weaving traffic movement. This system would remove large
numbers of commuters who are entering and exiting the freeway in this area from the main line
which would provide better levels of service to vehicles traveling through this area. The
Proposed Project would construct north and southbound on- and off-ramps to Interstate 15
connecting Jefferson Avenue on the west with the extension of Date Street to the east. The
Proposed Project is the result of cooperation between the Cities of Temecula and Murrieta and
the California Department of Transportation ("Caltrans").
Phase I of the Proposed Project would construct the new southbound off-ramp at French Valley
Parkway and provide a second lane on the Winchester Road southbound off-ramp ("Phase I").
Phase I of the Proposed Project would also construct an auxiliary lane prior to the Winchester
Road southbound off-ramp. The 2011 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP),
which was approved on April 19, 2012, identifies Phase I as including the design and
construction of French Valley Parkway from the Interstate 15 to Jefferson, the southbound exit
ramp, the southbound auxiliary lane from French Valley Parkway to Winchester Road, and the
widening of the Winchester Road southbound exit ramp (Project �D # 991202). Pursuant to the
current schedule for Phase 1, the construction of Phase I commenced in June 2012 and is
expected to take approximately 18 months to complete.
Phase II of the Proposed Project would construct the remaining improvements described as part
of the Proposed Project, including the full French Valley Parkway Overcrossing and Interchange
and the C/D system ("Phase II"). Phase II also includes the construction of the design
elements, including sound walls, retaining walls, treatment BMPs and landscaping. Design of
Phase II was initiated in November 2011 and will take approximately 36 months to complete. If
R:/Resos 2012/Resos 12-70 1
the City is able to obtain the necessary right of way for the Proposed Project, the City estimates
that construction of Phase tl may start in early 2015 and may take approximately 24 months to
complete. This timeline is a rough estimate.
