RECeMMENDED ACTTM : None.
BACKGROUND kjU;e I01� At the City Council's last meeting of December 6,
1989, staff was asked—to consider modification of the fane line striping on
Turner Road, west of Highway 99, and on Elm Street, from Lower Sacramento
Road to east of Ham Lane.
Turner Road
Attached is a plan showing the proposed striping viest of Highway 99.
Basically the thru lanes and the left turn lane will be extended east. To do
the work, the City had to wait for completion of the Mokel umne Village East
improvements and is now i n the process of obtaining a Caltrans permit. The
development was charged for a portion of this work. There are also some
minor widening improvements required on the south side. It is anticipated
that all of the work will be accomplished prior to spring. Under trio ` 4 ty ` s
Traffic Ordinance, no COunci l action is required to provide this additional
striping.
E 1 m Street.
Staff was again asked to consider re -striping Elm Street from Lower
Sacramento Road to east of fhn Lane to provide for twc travel lanes in each
direction. Presently Elm Street has a center line and is a two-lane
collector street in the City's street system. A two-lane collector can
comfortably handle 10,000 vehicles per day (vpd) and a four -lane undivided
arterial can handle 22,000 vpd. Listed below are the latest traffic Volumes
on Elm Street.

Currently Dm Street operates with free flow conditions. There is no
accident problem on Elm Street justifying additional lanes. Under the Draft
General Plan Cimulation Element, Elm Street is shown as a two --lane arterial
which includes a left -turn lane. As staff has indicated previously, v'e do
not recommend Elm Street be striped to provide four lanes :unless the traffic
conditions warrant this change. The existing traffic conditions do not
warrant an expenditure of City funds to stripe four lanes. It would also be
unfair to the adjacent property owners to put traffic and noise closer to
their residences when it is not required. In order to resolve this issue of
re -striping Dm Street, it is requested that the Lodi City Council either:
1) Take no action, hereby determining that Elm Street should rentain two i
lanes; or
2) Direct staff to have Eire Street between Lower Sacramento Road and
Crescent Avenue striped with fcur travol lanes .
