BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Recently completed traffic studies for the Westside, Southwest Gateway and Reynolds Ranch annexations identify the requirement to widen Harney Lane to accommodate the increase in traffic as anticipated in the General Plan. City staff has completed preliminary geometric studies and conceptual designs for the widening of Harney Lane from a two-lane urban collector to a four -lane divided arterial (see Exhibit B). These documents provide a framework but not the final plan for the consultantto prepare a Specific Plan Report, including an appropriate transition from four lanes at Lower Sacramento Road, west to the General Plan boundary, and the existing two-lane road in the County. The consultant will provide several preliminary designs based on the traffic volume data, geometric, and existing right-of-way and will present these alternatives to the City Council at a Shirtsleeve Session. Field surveys will be performedto facilitate preparation of accurate alternates. The consultantwill produce site-specific studies for problem areas, specifically for the right-of-way in the vicinity of the Lower Sacramento Road and Harney Lane intersection. Two stakeholder meetings will be held to obtain public input on the roadway designs. The meetings will allow the consultant to develop recommendations as to the preferred alternative. In the final Specific Plan Report, the consultant will provide the preferred alternative, identification of the right-of-way acquisition for each parcel, property modifications, implementation and the cost. The final Specific Plan Report will be the subject of a public hearing prior to approval by the City Council.

Significant growth in traffic is projected along this three-mile segment of Harney Lane that will result in increased congestion as development continues. BACKGROUND Harney Lane is situated along the southern edge of the City and functions as an east/west two-lane urban collector used by local and regional traffic. A number of project specific Environmental Impact Reports and Traffic Impact Studies have identified the requirement to widen Harney Lane to a four -lane divided arterial. The City has completed geometric studies and has prepared preliminary designs at each major intersection along Harney Lane that are provided in Appendix B. These diagrams are conceptual and provide an idea of how City Design Standards and traffic studies analysis are applied to each intersection. The project will be funded by local impact mitigation fees, regional mitigation fees, Measure "K" Renewal, and developer funds. APPROACH The City is requesting engineering services to prepare a Specific Plan Report for the Widening of Harney Lane. The scope of work will need to include the following elements: I. Preliminary Design a. Traffic volume data, geometries, existing right-of-way and proposed right-of-way have been provided by the City and should be reviewed by Consultant. b. A right-of-way survey of the developed parcels will need to be performed. The survey will provide information for development of alternatives for problem areas, specifically the right-of-way acquisition in the vicinity of the Lower Sacramento Road and Harney Lane intersection. These alternatives will include various proposals for driveway access for the residents along Harney Lane, landscaping and any walls that may need to be built for the residents. c. Additional surveys will need to be completed after the proposed alternatives to locate all structures that will be affected by the project. Harney Lane RFP (11-29-07).doc II. Stakeholder Meetings a. Two stakeholder meetings will be held to obtain public input on the proposed roadway design. These meetings will be held in a facility near the project site on a weekday evening for the convenience of the public. Consultant shall secure the meeting site and conduct the meetings. To advertise the meeting, the Consultant shall provide a direct mailer to notify property owners and tenants within 300 feet of the project, prepare a press release, and provide a notice in the local newspaper. The Consultant shall record, investigate, and answer all concerns and questions generated during the public meeting. III. Final Specific Plan Report a. After the stakeholder meetings, the Consultant will make recommendations as to the preferred alternative and identify the right-of- way acquisition for each parcel, property modifications, implementation and the cost. Property modifications include: i. Vehicle access ii. Fences, walls and gates iii. Landscaping iv. Building modification or demolition v. Drainage b. The consultant will perform a "meet and greet" with each of the affected property owners to present them the recommended proposal that will be given to the Council. c.

Harney Lane RFP (11-29-07).doc 5 Greg Costa am From: "Greg Costa" <costasquad@verizon.net> To: <cityclerk@lodi.gov>; <lhansen@lod[,gov>; <shitch cock@lcdi.gov>; <bjohnson@lodi,gov>; <pkatzakian@[odi.gov>; <jmounce@iodi.gov> Sent: Wednesday, October 17,2007 8:10 AM Subject: Harney Lane Traffic Impact on Business and Properly Dear Mayor and Council Members, My parents- Felix and Lola Costa -own the properly on the southeast comer of Harney and West Lane. Recentlyfor the fourth time in two years a car smashed into the chain linkfence surrounding the property. Usually these cars are heading south on Hutchins Street and turning east onto Harney Lane. The drivers are leaving the City of Lodi but crashing into our fence in San Joaquin County's jurisdiction. Would the City of Lodi consider lowering the posted speed limits on Hutchins Street as well as Harney Lane? Could the City of Lodiwork with San Joaquin County to decrease the posted speed limit on West Lane to 45 MPH one-half mile south of Harney Lane? We have witnessed an increasing number of "close calls" at the Hamey 1 West Lane intersection as a whole. Also Lodi's growth and new development has significantly increased the traffic "Intensity" on Hamer Lane. The City will be addressing this situation with various road projects in the near future. A majorconcern for us is disruption of our peak seasonal farming activities. r My parents have farmed and packed cherries on their property at Harney and West Lane for fifty years. We require easy ingress and egress to the ranch. Employees and trucks leaving our West Lane entrances usually turn at Harney Lane. Shutting down or limiting traffic on Harney Lane during the period from late April to late June would be an extreme hardship on our business. Performing Harney Lane improvements at times other than cherry season is essential. Please contact me if you've questions or comments on the above concerns. Any efforts to address these situations are appreciated. Regards, Greg Costa cell 993-2982 costasquad@vedzon.net 1/28/2008
