BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The project includes installing a traffic signal, street lighting, wheelchair ramps, and emergency and railroad preemption at the Lockeford Street and Sacramento Street intersection. Signalization for this intersectionwas a mitigation measure identified for the Lodi Station Parking Structure in the February 2001 Environmental Assessment. The intersection was also included in the 2000 Signal Priority Study approved by Council. This intersection is one of the fourteen intersections on the Signal Priority Study List. In 2001, City Council authorized the City Manager to execute a professional services agreement with Y & C Transportation Consultants, Inc., to design this project. In 2002, the plans and specifications for the traffic signal design and an agreement between the City and Union Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) were ready for Council's approval; however, funding was not available at that time. The agreement between the City and UPRR includes the City installing a railroad preempted signal and UPRR installing preemption circuits for the signal. In 2005, when funding became available, we requested that UPRR update the agreement and cost estimates for this project. In March 2006, we received the revised UPRR agreement. City staff recommends installing the countdown pedestrian signals at this location and future signals to help alleviate pedestrian concerns on how much time remains to cross the roadway. We have included countdown pedestrian signals in the design of the project. The countdown pedestrian signals display the number of seconds remaining in the pedestrian change interval. In 2004, Caltrans adopted the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) 2003 Edition which includes the countdown pedestrian signals. Currently, we use educational pedestrian push button signs to briefly describe the walk, flashing hand and steady hand modes. The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department.
