BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Public Wc& Department has received various requests to improve the southbound left turn lane at the Ham Lane and Kettleman Lane.traffic signal. At times when the signal is red, the left turn vehicles stack up well beyond the turn pocket and block one of the through lanes. This also affects the operation of the signal due to the Tong green time taken by the left turn movement. There are plans to overlay Ham Lane from Kettleman Lane to Vine Street as part of a Federal Aid Urban (FAU) project. Since the overlay project is planned for this summer, staff felt it was appropriate to review striping alternates at this time. Staff performed a peak hour count at the intersection as shown on the attached exhibit. Staff cbserved as many as 22 vehicles queued in the southbound left turn lane at one time. According to the State of California Traffic Manual, dual left turn lanes should be considered when there is a left turn volume of 300 vehicles per hour or moi (Section 9-22.0). The existing peak left turn volume is 306. To accommodate dual left turn lanes, it is necessary to remove the raised concrete median and install "no parking" zones on both sides. The raised concrete median will be replaced with concrete bumpers as shown on the attached striping plan. A single left turn lane will be extended to serve the driveways at the Municipal Service Center and Kofu Park. There have been APPROVED: THOMA CNOPARI4/TXTW.02M a naaer FILE NO. May 24,;1988 City Council June 1, 1988 Page 2 three rear -end accidents involving left turning vehicles at these driveways in the last four years. All adjacent businesses have off-street parking. Staff reviewed alternate improvements such as revising the signal phasing; however, the operation of the intersection would not improve. After approval of the "no parking" zones by City Council, staff will review the signal design modifications and striping layout with Caftrans. Since Hn Lane is not part of Highway 12, the entire cost of the improvement will be by the City of Lodi using FAU funds as part of the project. The widening at the Municipa? Service Center driveway is in response to a request from the Public Works Safety Committee. Ingress and egress at the Municipal Service Center is either on Highway 12 or Haan Lane and most of the traffic consists of trucks which are slow to accelerate and rmke wide turns. The improvements include widening the driveway and installing curved returns instead of three-foot flares. This type of construction is now standard for similar driveways on arterial streets. The widening on Hm Lane will provide room for a right turn lane to allow vehicles entering the Municipal Service Center to mm out of the through lanes. In the last four years, there has been one rear -end accident involving a right turning vehicle at the Municipal Service Center driveway. In 1980, a City vehicle was rear-ended by another vehicle as it was turning into the Municipal Serv1ce Center. fo arks Director JLR/PJF/ma A ttachment cc: Street Superintendent Police Chief Adjacent Businesses CNOPARI4/TXTW.02M May. 24;.1988 RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING "NO PARkTU' ASNES ON HAM LANE NORTH OF KETTLEMAN LANE AND APPROVING VA)F llNG AT CITY'S MUNICIPAL SERVICE CENTER, 1331 SOUTH HAM LANE RESOLVED, that the City Council of the Ci tY of Lodi does hereby establish a 680' "no parking" zone on the west side and a 710' "no parking" zone on the east side of Ham Lane north of Kettleman Lane; and BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Lodi does hereby approve minor widening on the west side of Ham Lane at the City's Municipal Service Center entrance, as shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and thereby Made a part hereof; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Lodi does hereby appropriate $13,000 from the Capital Outlay Reserve to widen the Municipal Service Center driveway and $21,000 from the Gas Tax (32) fund for the widening work on Hen Lane.
