AGENDA TITLE: Review Adult Crossing Guard Study at FJm Street and Mills Avenue
and Dm Street and Loma Drive
RECOMMENDED ACTION. None.
BACKGROUND Il i1U AJM- The Lodi Unified School District (LUSD) sent the
attached letters requesting the Public Worms Department study the Hm Street and
Mills Avenue, and Dm Street and Loma Drive intersections for an adult crossing
guard.
Staff performed the necessary studies for an adult crossing guard in accordance
with the guidelines adopted by Caltrans. The guidelines require that at least
40 elementary school pedestrians use the crossing when going to or from school
each of any two hours daily and the traffic volume exceeds 350 vehicles when
the majcr street no control. The traffic volume must exceed 500 vehicles
when the major street is controlled by stop signs. The results of the vehicle
and pedestrian counts are as follows:

motorist had an unsafe starting movement and the bicyclist was illegally riding
in the crosswalk. At the Elm Street/Loma Drive intersection, there have been 2
vehicle versus vehicle accidents and no bicycle accidents for the same time
period. There have been no reported pedestrian versus vehicle accidents at
either intersection.
Both intersections have student patrols and they appear to be controlling the
student pedestrians properly.
Staff also considered redirecting pedestrians from Elm Street/Mi 1 I Avenue to
Elm Street/Loma Drive in order to satisfy the adult crossing ward warrant.
However, staff feels crossing pedestrians at a four-way stop intersection with
student patrols is safer than at an uncontrolled street with an adult crossing
guard.
