BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of overlaying Church Street with asphalt concrete and pavement reinforce g fabric, repairing existing damaged curb and gutter, insta ling two concrete wheelchair ramps at Church Street and V tie Street, and other incidental and related work, all as shown on the plans and specifications for the project. During the paving portion of this project, traffic will be routed to Hutchins Street and Church Street will be closed between Vine Street and Lodi Avenue. The paving operation should only take on, day. Staff reviewed alternate intersection lane configuration and widening plans on Church Street approaching Lodi Avenue. The existir,; striping provides thy, h ,t operating conditions for the intersection at present volumes. Widening mnv needed in the future (15 years �). One concern about. the existing striping was that the northbound approach does not have a separate left -turn lane whereas the southbound approach does have a separate left -turn lane. Staff reviewed accident records for a 5 -year period (1987-1991). There hes been one reported accident which in.,olved a southbound left-turninq vehicle and a northbound through vehicle. It i s not possible to determine if this accident was caused by the dissimilar lane geometry. Staff will recommend installing the existing striping with the addition of a raised rnediar/bumpers to eliminate the southbound left turns into the Church Street driveway of Longs Drugstore and Wells Fargo Bank. There have been a number of rear -end accidents caused by drivers waiting for _a vehicle turning left into this driveway. Staff will notify the adjacent businesses and bring this item to City Council when the project is to be awarded.
