BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City has received requestsfrom Lodi Unified School District to remove the majority of the existing bus parking on the north side of Century Boulevard, adjacent to the bus turnout, and replace with one-hour parking. The request is predicated by the reduction in buses at the school site and the need for short-term visitor parking. This area can also be used for student drop-off and pick-up and will be in effect on school days only. The Police Department School Resource Officer and Traffic Service Officers have indicated they will provide enforcement of the one-hour restriction on an on-call basis. Also, staff Is planning to extend the existing passenger loading zone on the east side of Ham Lane,just north of the student parking lot driveway, an additional 66 feet, totaling approximately 132 feet. Council action is not required for the passenger loading zone installation and is included in this communication for informational purposes. This is the only passenger loading zone on Ham Lane adjacent to the high school. Field observations revealed the current passenger loading zone is heavily used in the morning and afternoon. Extending the zone will encourage parents to drop off students on Ham Lane, where students do not have to cross the street, as is the case on the south side of Century Boulevard. There is also a passenger loading zone on Century Boulevard adjacent to the school. Based on the School District's request and our observations at the school site, we recommend that Council approve the installation of one-hour parking (school days only) on the north side of Century Boulevard in front of the bus turnout at Tokay High School, as shown on Exhibit A. FISCAL IMPACT: FUNDING AVAILABLE: Minimal to none. Maintenancefor new improvements is offset by reduced maintenance of removed markings and signage. None required.
