REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Jason Simpson City Manager
Prepared By: Remon Habib, City Engineer
Date: March 22, 2022
Subject: Transportation Uniform Mitigation Fee Program Reimbursement Ag reement
for Nichols Road / I-15 Interchange Project
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the Mayor to execute an agreement with Western Riverside Council of
Governments (WRCOG) to reimburse funds for the planning phase of the Nichols Road / I-15
Interchange Project.
Background
Nichols Road / I-15 Interchange serves the City of Lake Elsinore and the surrounding
communities. The interchange is a diamond configuration with future industrial and residential
properties to the west and residential and commercial properties to the east. The Nichols Road
ramps and adjacent intersections within the project area are controlled by stop signs. The
proximity of local intersections to the On-/Off-ramps combined with anticipated future peak our
peak volumes will cause congestion and delays at the interchange. Nichols Road / I-15
Interchange project is a Capital Improvement Project that will modify the current interchange to
relieve congestion by improving traffic operation and reducing congestion in the vicinity of
Nichols Road / I-15 ramps. The improvement would also accommodate the projected 2050
traffic flow at ramp intersections and the regional transportation system.
Discussion
In September 2021, the Western Riverside Council of Government (WRCOG) Executive
Committee has approved the 2021 Southwest Zone 5-year Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP), which includes the Nichols Road / I-15 Interchange project. Per City’s request,
the TIP programmed $4 million of TUMF funds for costs related to the Planning Phase. To
receive TUMF funds, an agreement between WRCOG and the City is required. This agreement
formalizes the reimbursement contract between WRCOG and the City. In addition to the TUMF
allocation, the city has committed $750,000 in funding from Measure Z revenues towards the
Project Study Report (PSR) and Project Approval and Environmental Document (PA&ED)
Phases.

SCOPE OF WORK
Nichols Road / I-15 Interchange serves the City of Lake Elsinore and surrounding communities.
Nichols Road is designated as an Urban Arterial Highway (6-lanes). The interchange is a
diamond configuration with future industrial and residential properties to the west and residential
and commercial properties to east. The Nichols Road ramps are adjacent intersections within the
project area are controlled by Stop signs. The proximity of local intersections to the On-/Off-
ramps combined with the anticipated future peak hour peak volumes will cause congestion and
delays at Nichols Road / I-15 Interchange. The purpose of the proposed project would be to
relieve congestion by improving traffic operation and reduce congestion in the vicinity of
Nichols Road / I-15 ramps. The improvement would also have to accommodate the projected
2050 traffic flow at ramp intersections and the region transportation system. In order to
accomplish this objective, the City of Lake Elsinore in cooperation with Caltrans is initiating the
PSR phase of this project.
The scope of work for the PSR / PA&ED phase of this project includes: preparation of
preliminary engineering alternative analysis, preparation of preliminary environmental analysis
report (PEAR), traffic engineering performance assessment (TEPA), development of a cost
estimate and project schedule, traffic impact analysis, value analysis, right-of-way engineering
and appraisal, preparation of environmental studies, project management and coordination,
preparation of final project report, preparation of final environmental assessment report, and
other reports as needed.
