NORTH : ANAHEIM : Traffic to Get Better Around Disneyland
Look for some improvements in traffic around the Disneyland area early next year as a result of new computer software which will help city workers coordinate traffic signals.
The City Council this week approved the purchase of $212,000 worth of software to streamline traffic along the Katella Avenue corridor. Eventually, traffic experts hope to coordinate traffic lights along Katella from the 605 Freeway to the 57 Freeway.
The new software also will help police deal with traffic jams resulting from special events at Disneyland and Anaheim Stadium. Anaheim’s system will be the first of its kind in the state, city planners say, because it will be able to control the traffic signals that regulate on-ramps to adjacent freeways.
The software is being purchased with $112,000 from the Orange County Unified Transportation Trust and $100,000 from the state of California.
