HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - July 20, 1988 (62)COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager,
MEETING DATE: July 20, 1988
AGENDA TITLE: Review of Traffic Signal Installation at Highway 12 and Lower
Sacramento Road - Discussion and Appropriate Action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve City participation in
the Lower Sacramento Road/Highway 12 signal project and authorize the City
Manager to execute a cost-sharing agreement with San Joaquin County.
BACKGROUND ll41IRMAHON San Joaquin County is the lead agency in the
installation of a traffic signal at Highway 12 and Lower Sacramento Road.
Caltrans and the County are splitting the $120,000 cost of the signal 50/50.
The work is scheduled for fa71 1988 and includes left turn lanes with
separate signal phases.
Early in June, the County sent the City a letter regarding operational
improvements on Lower Sacramento Road. They asked that the City contribute
$64,000 to the project for right turn lanes and a pavement overlay (see
attached June 1 letter). Staff responded, indicating vie were reluctant to
take the request to the Council for a number of reasons (see attached June 15
letter). W were also concerned about the adequacy of the design and asked
for more information.
The County responded on June 30 (see attached letter), indicating they were
proceeding with the project as designed, without the additional right turn
lanes,
City staff ran some rough level of service calculations based on available
traffic counts. They indicate there will be a noticeable difference in the
operation of the intersection with and without the right turn lanes (level of
Service C versus D). W called the County and indicated v& _would take a
recommendation to the Council for City participation in the right turn lanes
without the overlay if they would provide a separate estimate.. They have
done so and their rough estimate is $50,000.
Staff still has some reluctance about participating in this project in this
manner, but vie feel more strongly that it would be a disservice _to the-
citizens of Lodi not to make these additional improvements. .Therefore; it'.is
recommended that the Council approve City participation and au'thurize the

San Joaquin County has been designated as the lead agency for the
design and construction of the facilities.
Design of the signal system is essentially complete and is now
being reviewed by Caltrans. The roadway improvements for the
Lower Sacramento Road approaches are now being designed by
Public Works staff.
Due to budget constraints, the roadway improvements on the Lower
-
Sacramento Road approaches will be limited to the widening
required to accommodate a left turn lane, for a total estimated
cost of $120,000.00 (see Exhibit "A").
- As this intersection is primarily impacted by traffic generated .
from within the City of Lodi, we are inquiring if the City of
Lodi would participate in financing additional operaL 1j-
improvements to the intersection including right turn lanes and`a "
structural overlay on Lower Sacramento Road (see Exhibit.. KB-)
The estimated costs for the alternate with right turn lanes is.

Southeast corner the County Board of Zoning Adjustments conditionally
approved the development (0-73-18). We do not have a record of the
conditions, but it has been our experience that they typically include
some type of deferred improvement requirement. The owners may be willing
to instal: some of the improvements now in order to save relocation costs
