AGENDA TITLE: Approve Removal of Left -Turn Restriction on Lilac Street at Eilers. Lane
MEETING DATE: September 1, 2004
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council review the attached petition and staff's comments
and approve the removal of the left -turn restriction on Lilac Street at
Eilers Lane (Exhibit A).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A petition (Exhibit B) has been submitted to the Public Works
Department signed by eighty-two residents requesting the left -tum
restriction on Lilac Street at Eilers Lane be removed. The petitioners
feel the turn restriction is not needed and affects the circulation of traffic
in the area. The following describes the history of the left -tum restriction and staffs recommendation.
Tum Restriction History
In July 1987, residents on Eilers Lane between Lilac Street and Lower Sacramento Road (north) petitioned
City Council to close this portion of roadway to through traffic. The request was based on Eilers Lane
residents' concern about added traffic volume, speeding, and safety of neighborhood children. Staff was
directed by Council to review the request and provide a recommendation. The study results indicated that no
unusual conditions justified closing the street. San Joaquin County also expressed concerns about closing
this portion of Eilers Lane and the affect on traffic circulation in the area. Based on these factors, Council
denied the request to close Eilers Lane to through traffic and directed staff to review left -tum restrictions from
Lilac Street to Eilers Lane. Also, at the time, the County had plans to construct the Chestnut Street bridge at
the Woodbridge Irrigation Canal, providing a direct link between Woodbridge and Lodi. In September 1987,
Council approved the left -turn restriction on Lilac Street at Eilers Lane as an interim solution, until the
construction of the Chestnut Street bridge.
In Spring 1989, the Chestnut Street bridge was completed, and as directed by Council, staff re -studied the
Eilers Lane/Lilac Street intersection. The study results indicated that the left -turn restriction was not needed.
Although traffic moved to Woodhaven Lane/Chestnut Street and volumes decreased on Lower Sacramento Road
(north), Lilac Street, and Eilers Lane, Council took no action to remove the restriction due to concerns from
Eilers Lane residents. Again, the Eiler's residents were concerned about the safety of neighborhood children,
increasing traffic volumes, and speeding.
In October 1997, staff received a petition with thirty-four signatures and again reviewed the removal of the
left -tum restriction. Council took no action to remove the restriction due to continuing opposition from some
Eilers Lane residents.
Existing Conditions
Since the turn restriction removal was last reviewed, the residential subdivision, Woodhaven Paris, located
east of Woodhaven Lane, north of Eilers Lane and across from the old Woodbridge Middle School, has
developed (Exhibit C). One of the primary concerns for the Lodi residents in Woodhaven Park is the safety of
making left turns onto Woodhaven Lane from Inglewood Drive. It is also inconvenient for Woodhaven Park
motorists traveling east to backtrack through Woodbridge onto County roads in order to travel into town. Over

sixty percent of the signatures on the petition reside in the Woodhaven Park subdivision. In addition to
inconveniencing residents, transit services such as Dial -A -Ride have experienced longer travel times and
increased fuel consumption.
Exhibit C also shows the traffic volumes in the area before the Chestnut Street bridge was opened, after the
bridge was opened, and recent volumes. As indicated, the opening of the Chestnut Street bridge significantly
reduced the overall traffic on Eilers Lane and Lilac Street, while volumes on Woodhaven Inane/Chestnut Street
increased. The increase was expected, since the roadway provides a direct route between Woodbridge and
Lodi. When Woodbridge School was not in session, traffic counts were performed at the intersection to
determine the amount of school -related traffic on Ellers Lane and Lilac Street. Currently, a private school with
60 to 80 children is using the facilities and accessing the school from Academy Street. The school is under
construction and tentatively scheduled to reopen in two year as an elementary school. The results indicate
Eilers Lane volumes are low, 740 vehicles per day (vpd), and will not increase substantially if the tum
restriction is eliminated.
Discussion
Although everyone wants to reduce the traffic volume on their street, conditions in the area do not support the
left -turn restriction at the Lilac Street and Eilers Lane intersection, especially since the Chestnut Street bridge
construction. And with the residential development north of the intersection, more drivers living in the
neighborhood are being inconvenienced by the restriction. To address the speed concerns and pedestrian
safety, we will work closely with the Police Department to provide enforcement. A pedestrian and bicycle
program is underway educating all the elementary and middle school children.
Traffic engineering practice warns against placing unreasonable restrictions on drivers, as it can encourage
disobedience and reduces the effectiveness of restrictions at locations where they are needed. When
unnecessary restrictions are placed, many drivers will disregard them, even those who would not normally
disobey traffic laws.
Recommendation
Thirteen formal complaints and two petitions to remove the left -turn restriction have been received since the
left -turn restriction was installed. There are a significant number of drivers opposed to the restriction based
upon the growing number of requests to remove the left -turn restriction. No unusual conditions supporting the
left -turn restriction are evident. Unreasonable restrictions on drivers lead to increased disobedience and
impacts Police enforcement. Based on these factors, staff recommends that Council approve the removal of
the left -turn restriction at the Lilac Street and Eilers Lane intersection. Staff will continue to monitor the area
for any changes justifying further review.
FUNDING: Removal of signs and pavement markings would be done within the Street
Maintenance Budget at an approximate cost of $250.

We, the homeowners and/or residents of the Inglewood subdivision area
present this petition to the City of Lodi to request the removal of the "No Left
Turn" sign at the corner of Lilac St. and Eilers Lane. The "Stop" sign may stay.
General concerns include, although are not limited to, the following:
If headed to Central Lodi from our area we must access streets going the
opposite direction of our destination. In order to exit our area we must access
either Lilac St. (headed north and then Academy St.) or Woodhaven (to the west
of our area.) Regardless, either route involves making a left hand turn against
traffic. Both streets are becoming busier, especially with the "proposed" home
building on Woodhaven and current home building on Lilac St.
Woodbridge School traffic is also limited to our local surface streets.
Twice a day and more often if there are school functions, there is a congestion of
traffic on Inglewood Drive. At times, exiting Inglewood Court can be prohibitive
due to traffic congestion on Inglewood Drive. Attempting to exit some driveways
on Inglewood Drive are also prohibitive at certain times of the day.
We believe Eilers Lane is a public street. There is not any safety issues
that require there to be restrictive travel on this street. It is believed that the turn
sign went up to restrict "school traffic." One should have expected this when one
purchased a home directly adjacent to a school. The future of Woodbridge
School maybe as yet undetermined, but let's be fair with the current residents of
the Inglewood subdivision area.
Restrictive access to those who wish to travel east on Eilers Lane is a
burden, adding extra mileage (check the gas prices) and fuel to vehicles. Extra
time to go out of our way is also a factor. At this time only residents and owners
are signing this petition. Our under "18" of age drivers, family, friends, and
caretakers are not included. We are hoping for a positive resolution to this
situation.

S. HenneJc J--
1) FRUSTRATIONS
A. Short notice (4days to collect signatures & research).
B. Downed sign Sun. night, called in Mon. A.M. still not repaired.
(Usually repaired same day).
C. Lack of police presence & enforcement of traffic laws.
D. Difficulty turning south on Woodhaven from both
Eilers A Inglewood.
E. City Council directed staff to install a no left turn
similar to Fairmont & Kettleman Ln., but it hasn't
happened. (See Exhibit G).
F. City Council directed staff to establish no parking
zones on Woodhaven, but it hasn't happened. (See
exhibit F).
2. HISTORY
A. 13 former formal complaints & 2 former petitions all
rejected by the City Council.
B. Eilers Ln. residents have appeared in 1987, 1989,
1990, 1997 & now in 2004 to address these issues.
C. In 1990 the Public Works Director recommended
removal of all stop signs & the no left turn sign. Council
members voted 5-0 to keep the signs in place. (See
Exhibit A).
D. City Council directed staff in 1993 to make the no left
turn permanent, like the Fairmont/Kettleman Ln.
installation, by a unanimous vote. (See exhibit F).
3. TRAFFIC STUDY See exhibit B
A. Recent study done with school not in session.
B. Previous study done with Woodbridge School as a
middle school (7 h & 8th grades). Older kids with many
walking to school.
C. When Woodbridge School reopens as a grammar
school, (K - Oh grades), younger children will be
crossing the streets with most of them being driven &
dropped off. Probably double the traffic.
D. Safety of the children & our neighborhood is our
primary concern.
4. PUBLIC WORKS
A. We agree that it costs money & manpower to
maintain the sign when it gets knocked down.
B. Maintenance would be minimal if the installation was
done per Council direction.
5. STREET DESIGNATIONS & TRAFFIC ,FLOW jSee
exhibits C & D)
A. East Eilers Ln. is designated as a standard residential
street. Should be 25 mph speed limit. (Currently 30
mph).
B. West Filers Ln. is designated as a minor collector.
(Currently 30 mph, but way too short for such a speed
limit).
C. Lilac is designated a minor collector with a 25 mph
speed limit. There are no stop signs the entire length of
the street. This promotes its use as a short cut, Filers &
Lilac , bypassing the intended traffic flow and promoting
speeding.
D. Without the no left turn in place & a 30 mph speed
limi4 East Filers functions as a minor collector
inconsistent with the Street Master Plan. (See Exhibit D).
E. The Street Master Plan was designed to create a
traffic flow from residential streets to the larger
collectors to the larger arterials.
F. Woodiake Circle's future traffic access could involve
restricted turning lanes & islands. (No left turn
designations).
6. REBUTTAL TO PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
A. While 60'1 of the signatures on the Woodhaven Park
Residents Petition reside there, 100% of the signatures
on the Eilers Ln. Petition reside there.
B. The past promises of more police enforcement have
never happened.
C. City transit services are not affected by longer travel
times & increased fuel consumption. (See exhibit B).
7. STATEMENTS FOR WOODHAI/EN PARK RESIDENTS
A. Many people in many cities, including Lodi, must
head in the opposite direction than their ultimate
destination. (One way streets, no left turn, etc.) Because
it's inconvenient doesn't mean it should be changed.
They are there by design for safety & traffic flow.
B. Most of the residents knew of the no left tum & traffic
conditions before moving there. (Sign installed Sept.
1987).
C. It is their choice of breaking a traffic law versus using
Woodhaven to leave their neighborhood. The mileage
from the center of Inglewood to the intersection of
Turner & Lwr. Sac. is almost identical. Inglewood to
Woodhaven to turner approximately 0 5 miles.
Inglewood to Lilac to Filers to Lwr. Sac. Approximately
0.42 miles.
A While we agree Woodhaven can be a challenge, there
is no logic in changing street designs & making Ellers
more dangerous because their path of departure isn't
what they want Woodhaven's problems need to be
addressed by themselves.
8. SUMMARY: There are many more pressing traffic
issues in this north west corner of town than our left
turn sign. The City Council & Public Works need to
address these issues as more homes are built on
Woodhaven & Woodbridge continues to grow. Our
recommendations are as follows:
A. Lower the speed limit on Eilers to 25 mph.
B. Increase police presence & traffic enforcement.
C. Enforce & add the no parking zones on Woodhaven
to allow for increased visibility & safety.
E. Work on the bottleneck area, Woodhaven just north of
Turner. The race for the single lane merge ahead creates
speeding & dangerous conditions for access to
Woodhaven from both Eilers & Inglewood.
AND
LEAVE OUR NO LEFT TURN SIGN 1N PLACE!

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Establish Woodhaven Lane as a Through Street and "No Parking"
Zones on Woodhaven Lane North of Eilers Lane
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
° Establish "no parking" zones on Woodhaven Lane north of Eilers Lane.
° Amend the Traffic Resolution to add Woodhaven Lane to Section 2B "Through
Streets" and delete Woodhaven Lane (southbound at Eilers Lane) from Section
2C.2 "Two -Way and One -Way Stop Intersection".
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: San Joaquin County is proceeding with the
construction of the extension of Chestnut Street in Woodbridge south to
connect with Woodhaven Lane in Lodi. This project includes the construction
of a bridge over the Woodbridge Irrigation District canal. In conjunction
with this project, the City will need to make some changes on Woodhaven Lane
north of Eilers Lane. We are recommending that the following changes be
approved at this time so San Joaquin County can complete their design and
they can be installed upon completion of the roadway and bridge in early
1989. These changes are shown in Exhibit A.
No Parking on Woodhaven Lane North of Eilers Lane - Due to the narrow
width and moderately high traffic volumes, no parking has been previously
established on Woodhaven Lane for 150 feet south of Eilers Lane. The
portion north of Eilers is the same width but was not included earlier
since it is a dead-end street. With the street extension, the parking will
need to be.removed. Upon future development on the west side, the roadway
will be widened. If no turn lanes are needed, there will be sufficient
width to allow parking.
° Z5tdL115h Woodhaven Lane a5 a Through Street - The Wood ridge circulation
plan calJTs for Woodhaven Lane to be an arterial street thus it is
appropriate to make it a "through" street as well. Any future side streets
would then automatically be controlled with a stop sign.
After the roadway is completed and traffic patterns have been established,
staff will perform a new speed survey on Woodhaven Lane in conjunction with
the County and review the no -left turn controls at the Eilers/Lilac
intersection.

RES, NO. 88-71 The City Council was advised that San Joaquin County is
proceeding with the construction of the extension of
CC -45(a) Chestnut Street in Woodbridge south to connect with
CC -48(a) Woodhaven Lane in Lodi. This project includes the
CC -48(e) construction of a bridge over the Woodbridge Irrigation
District canal. In conjunction with this project, the City
will need to make some changes an Woodhaven Lane north of
Eilers Lane. Staff recommended that the following changes
be approved at this time so San Joaquin County can complete
their design and they can be installed upon completion of
the roadway and bridge in early 1989. An exhibit was
presented depicting the subject changes.
No Parkinq on Woodhaven Lane North of Eilers Lane - Due
to the narrow width and moderately high traffic volumes, no
parking has been previously established on Woodhaven Lane
for 150 feet south of Eilers Lane. The portion north of
Eilers is the same width but was not included earlier since
it is a dead-end street. With the street extension, the
parking will need to be removed. Upon future development
on the west side, the roadway will be widened. If no turn
lanes are needed, there will be sufficient width to allow
parking.
Establish Woodhaven Lane as a Through Street - The
Woodbridge circulation plan calls for Woodhaven Lane to be
an arterial street thus it is appropriate to make it a
"through" street as well. Any future side streets would
then automatically be controlled with a stop sign.
After the roadway is completed and traffic patterns have
been established, staff will perform a new speed survey on
Woodhaven Lane in conjunction with the County and review
the no -left turn controls at the Eilers/Lilac intersection.
