Home My WebLink AboutAgenda Report - March 18, 1992 (91)CITY OF LODI AGENDA TITLE: Liberty High School (660 West Walnut Street) - Request for Alley Closure During School Hours, Discussion and Appropriate Action MEETING DATE: March 18, 1992 PREPARED BY: Public Works Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council consider a request from the Lodi Unified School District to close the alley west of California Street, between Lodi Avenue and Walnut Street, during school hours (Exhibit P). BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Classroom buildings for Liberty High School exist on both sides of the described alley. Doors to these classrooms open into the alleyway, Due to conflicts arising between students crossing this alley and vehicle travel. the insurance company representing the school district suggested that the alley be closed to vehicle travel. The school district's request is to close the alley during school hours, from 7 a.m. to 2 p,m., on school days only. Existing Conditions Liberty High classrooms are located at the north end of the alley. There are three apartment mnpl2xes and seven single-family units with alley frontage located from the classrooms to Lodi Avenue. The total number of individual residential units having alley frontage is twenty-five, of which up to twenty may need alley access. With the closure of the alley at Walnut Street, access to these residential units during school hours would be only from Lodi Avenue. Available accident records for the four-year period from 1988 to 1991 indicate that there have been no accidents at the alley's intersections with Lodi Avenue or Walnut Street. Accident history for the alley is not available. Discussion This request is similar to the closure of Pleasant Avenue for Needham School, approved by City Council in 1982; the school district has again agreed to have adult personnel place and pick up the barricades for the proposed closure. Barricades are to be provided by the school district; signs will be provided by the City at the school district's expense. The only concern staff has regarding this closure is that the only access to the residential units during school hours will be from Lodi Avenue. However, hased on accident history and that the closure will more than likely reduce the total number APPROVED ' • ' IIII THOMAS A PETERSON CCL18ERT/TXTW.01L (C M OM) March 9, 1992 Liberty High School (660 West Walnut Street) - Request for Alley Closure Durina School Hours, Discussion and Appropriate Action March 18, 1992 Page 2 of vehicles accessing the alley a t Lodi Avenue during that time period, staff has no major objections to this closure. Staff w i I I continue to monitor this closure. and, if problems arise, this issue w i I I be brought back to Council for reconsideration. The Police Chief and Fire Chief have been contacted and have no objections to this closure as long as the barricades can be easily moved in the event of an emergency and that the closure signs are visible to motorists on Lodi Avenue and on Walnut Street. If Council approves this closure, a resolution must be adopted as indicated in Section 21102 of the California Vehicle Code (Exhibit?).
