TO : City Coanci I
FROM : C i t y Manager
MEETING DATE: June 1, 1988
AGENDA TITLE: Approve Raised Medians and Turn Controls on Fairmont Avenue
at Kettleman Lane and Establish "No Parking" Zones on
Kettleman Lane at Fairmont Avenue
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the installation of
raised medians and turn controls on Fairmont Avenue at Kettleman Lane and
establish "no parking" zones on Kettleman Lane at Fairmont Avenue.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff recently received a request from the owner
of Beckman Ranch to install a "no parking" zone on Kettleman Lane. Parked
trucks were causing a sight obstruction for motorists exiting Fairmont
Avenue. Due to other complaints at this intersection and the results of the
recent signal priority study, staff felt it was appropriate to review the
entire intersection at this time.
a) This intersection was studied previously as part of the 1985 Signal
Priority Study. City staff contacted Caltrans and determined a traffic
signal at this intersection would not be appropriate due to the close
proximity of the Kettleman Lane and Ham Lane traffic signal (less than
700 feet) and the high Kettleman Lane traffic volume. Caltrans requested
that the City proceed with the installation of medians on Fairmont Avenue
as shov.n on the attached exhibit. The medians would eliminate 80%of the
accidents based on accident records from 1982-1985 (4 -year period). No
action was taken at that time.
In reviewing the recent accident records (1984-1987, 4 -year period) 65%
of the accidents would be eliminated by prohibiting left turns. Staff
did not include this intersection in the 1988 Signal Priority Study since
installing medians would be an inexpensive improvement and greatly reduce
conflicting traffic movements.
b) Staff surveyed the intersection a number of times and observed a parked
semitruck on Kettleman Lane west of Fairmont Avenue on the south side,
usually during the weekends. A sight obstruction study was performed and
"no parking" zones are recommended as shown on the exhibit.
