BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the June 17, 1992 City Council meeting, an Almond Drive resident raised concerns regarding truck travel on Almond Drive. In the July 1, 1992 Council Communication regarding the street improvements on Almond Drive, staff noted that when Century Boulevard is completed between Cherokee Lane and Stockton Street, trucks may use Century Boulevard via Highway 99 southbound. However, the Highway 99 northbound trucks traveling to Stockton Street may still use Almond Drive. EXISTING CONDITIONS Staff counted vehicles and trucks for two three-hour periods (8-11 a.m. and 1-4 p.m.) on August 11, 1992. The results of the survey indicated that trucks make up 4.% (westbound) and 3.3% (eastbound) of the total vehicles on Almond Drive. The majorit_r of these trucks are two -axle. In November 1990, similar truck counts were performed by staff. A comparison of the total counts indicates the total number of trucks and vehicles on Almond Drive has increased as shown below: Almond Drive Truck Count Summary Number Number Count of of % Truck Distribution (#/%Z Date -Direction Trucks Vehicles Trucks 2 axles 3 ax es 4 axles 5+ axles Aug. 1992 -WB 31 639 4.63 24177.42 6119.35 1/3.23 0.00 Nov. 1990 -WB 9 392 2.24 6/66.67 1/11.11 0.00 2122.22 Aug. 1992 -EB 19 563 3.26 17/89.47 2/10.53 0.00 0.00 Nov. 1990 -EB 13 374 3.36 9/69.23 3/23.08 0.00 1/ 7.69 APPROVED / Vt463• "" THOMAS A PETERSON Public Hearing Regarding Establishment of a Vehicle Weight E imi t on Almond Drive, Between Cherokee Lane and Stockton Street September 16, 1992 Page 2 Daily traffic counts have also increased on Almond Drive, from 1,840 vehicles in November 1988 to 2,950 vehicles in Match 1992. The increase in westbound truck traffic could be due to the rav industrial buildings on Stockton Street. I t may be more convenient for truck drivers to use the Cherokee Lane northbound off -ramps to Almond Drive instead of Hamey Lane off -ramps. Staff did not anticipate the high truck traffic in designing the structural section. The current structural section will be weakened with the existing truck traffic although an overlay is planned for fiscal year 1992/93. Currently, the only commercial vehicle restriction on Almond Drive is regarding parking. Based cn Lodi Municipal Code, Section 15.52.050, commercial vehicles cannot park on Almond Drive unless they are in the process of loading or unloading. Almond Drive has a posted speed limit of 30 mph from Stockton Street to Cherokee Lane. Almond Drive is designed as a minor collector with a curb width of 44 feet. GENERAL There are two streets in the city limits vehicles and vehicles over 3 tons (6,000 over 5 tons (10,000 lbs.) are prohibited Cherokee Lane. that have weight limits. Commercial lbs.) are prohibited on Holly Drive, and on Tokay Street, from Stockton Street to According to the California Vehicle Code, Section 35701, City Council can establish a vehicle weight limit of any size. The weight limit should be expressed in pounds. The gross vehicle weight (GVW) for regular and extended -cab pickups can ran?e from 5,600-10,000 lbs. Large pickups (1 -ton rating, those with dual rear wheels could easily exceed 10,000 lbs. GVW. The size of utility vans can range fi= 7,600-16,000 lbs. GVW.
