• Driving Through North Orange County Could Get Easier (voiceofoc.org) — Drivers in Brea could soon see smoother trips along State College Boulevard, as a new regional project will synchronize 58 traffic signals from Cliffwood Avenue in Brea down to Garden Grove Boulevard in Orange. Led by Anaheim with Measure M2 funding, the upgrade will modernize signal hardware and timing to cut delays, fuel use, and emissions across several North Orange County cities.
