CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Traffic Resolution Arnordment - Vine Street at Sacramento Street and
Grant Avenue at Louie Avenue, intersection Control
MEETING DATE: July 1, 1992
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOWENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution amending the Traffic
Resolution #87-163 to approve the installation of "stop" signs
on Vine Street at Sacramento Street and the conversion of
"yield" signs to "stop" signs on Grant Avenue at Louie Avenue
a s shown on the attached map.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The intersection of Vine Street at Sacramento Street and
Grant Avenue at Louie Avenue have been studied due to their
accident rates. The accident rate at Vine Street and
Sacramento Street ranked highest on our study list of
uncontrolled intersections. The intersection of Grant Avenue and Louie Avenue ranked
in the top four of intersections co;,trolled by "yield" signs.
Available accidents records over a three-year period indicate that there has been
one accident correctable with the installation of a right-of-way control at the
intersection of Vine Street and Sacramento Street. At the intersection of Grant
Avenue at Louie Avenue, there has been three accidents correctable with the
installation of stop signs.
Based on the department's intersection control guidelines, the n*iurn control on
Vine Street at Sacramento Street would be a "yield" control. However, due to the
low approach speeds required in order for drivers on Vine Street to see approaching
vehicles on Sacramento Street, a "stop" control is recommended. A "stop" control i s
also recommended in place of the existing "yield" control on Grant Avenue at Louie
Avenue due to the low traffic volumes and disproportionately high number of
accidents. Multi -way stop controls are not justified at either of these locations.
FUNDING: Funding to be provided by
the Street M ' tenaance Account.
