Home My WebLink AboutAgenda Report - April 1, 1992 (46)CITY OF LODI A[,E.NPA TITLE: Cherokee E_ane at Hale Poad, Traffic 5ionai MEETING DATE: April 1, 1992 PREPARED BY: Public Works Director Is !, RECOMMENDED _N:— at the City Council direct City staff to proceed on the traffic signal installation on Hale Road at Cherokee Lane, appropriate 5100,000 from the Federal Aid Urban (FAL) Fund for the project, and approve an amendment to the Transportation Improvement Plan. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Pedestrian safety on Cherokee Lane at Hale Roed has been the subject of a number of Council discussions over the past few years. The City has followed accepted traffic engineering principles in the addition of various safety improvements. These have included warning signs, no -parking zones to improve visibility. increased enforcement and, most recently, an overhead flashinc_ beacon and sign. With the recent pedestrian/auto accident. this location ranks as the highest pedestrian accident location in the City. The next practical safety improvement is a traffic and pedestrian activated signal. Staff planned to offer this project for consideration in the 1992/93 budget. However, with the recent accident and the passage of the latest federal transportation bill (The Intermodal Surface Transportation Act of 1991) which we only recently learned of Lodi's allocation, we are recommending that we proceed on this project. Depending on the length of the federal review process, the signal should be installed before the end of 1992. In closing, staff wishes to remind the Council and the public that a traffic signal cannot physically stop a car. Pedestrians must sti I I remain alert when crossing a s Greet, even when they are "protected" by a red light. FUNDING: $100,000 Federal Aid Urban (FAU) Fund 0 0).
