%.nu m.n STREET, SCHOOL
STREEP, AMID SACRAMENTO
STREET Council was apprised that left -turn lanes and the
corresponding "No Parking" zones are recapended at School
RES NO. 86-64 and Sacramento intersections to reduce accidents and
increase capacity. Modifications to the existing left -turn
CC -45(a) lanes at Church Street are also recc mnended. Since Lodi

spaces. The businesses in the vicinity of this study have
a ccmbi.ned total of 228 off-street spaces. However, the
range of off-street spaces per business is 4 w 133 spaces.

locations to alleviate left -turning traffic problems
adjacent to the intersection.

perusal. A lengthy discussion followed. City Clerk
