Re: Lodi Ave.
Honorable Mayor Snider,
With the opening of year around school for the middle and
high schools, we have major conjestion on Lodi Avenue.
Primarily from Hutchins to Fairmont. I feel the council
needs to address these needs soon. Since Taco Bell moved
east to Rose, we have five exit and entries within a very
short distance. Peak traffice periods are chaotic. Then we
travel a very short distance west to Crescent, and again we
have traffic trying to turn without the benefit of a turn
lane or turn light. Travel west to Kentucky Fried Chicken,
and again traffice trying to turn into this parking area for
food and traffic school., creates additional chaos. Travel
west to Orange, and still again traffic is attempting to
turn into Fluffy Donut, Chop Chop, and Discount Liquor.
I have stopped`using Lodi Aeenue during these periods,
because it w i 11 take as long as ten minutes to get through
this area if you drive the speed limit.
I feel with the high traffic volume of Lodi Ave. (17,000)
daily the intersections with turn pockets have turn lights,
and a two way turn lane be established west of Hutchins, and
a turn pocket with a turn Light at Crescent.
Many a time Mrs. Olson has commented about the near
accidents or accidents at Crescent. This is traffic trying
to make turns without the benefit of a turn pocket or light.
Mr. Ronsko has explained that the street parking in this
area would be removed, to accommodate the smoother movement
of traffic.
I would like to see this item placed on the agenda soon, so
interested parties may express their views.
Sincerely,
Eileen
