INTERSECTION

several serious collisions and accidents.

In July 2022, the former GRF Physical Property Committee evaluated proposals to conduct a traffic analysis at the intersection.

The committee recommended— and the board subsequently approved—Stantec Consulting to conduct a survey at the intersection. The original focus of the study was dedicated left-turn only phasing on the north-south streets.

After further consideration, the Physical Property Committee decided that the study should be expanded to include a review of “vehicles, pedestrians and protected left turn phasing on all approaches.”

The GRF Board widened the scope of the study in March 2023, approving additional funds for the traffic study.

That study, which has now been completed, analyzed the impacts and benefits of eliminating all left-turn conflicts, and prepared a concept plan identifying potential striping, signage, signal phasing and potential construction costs.

The plan is now being reviewed by the City of Seal Beach. Once permits are granted, the project will be sent out for bids, pending GRF Board approval.

A segment of Golden Rain Road was closed for several hours while law enforcement investigated.
