CONCLUSION
!� g T I TION
WE, THE RESIDENTS OF LAKESHORE VILLAGE, PETITIO14 THE C17Y COUNCIL
OF LODI AS FOLLOWS:
A drastic and dangerous condition exists, namely, speeding,
reckless and dangerous driv*.., on the streets in our community, a
condition which endangers the lives of the members of our community
and a condition which needs to be remedied immediately.
L,ome of the incidents which have resulted from this reckless
driving are as follows:
In April, a Volkswagen traveling north on Lakeshore
Drive at a speed of at least 45 mph quicnly overtook
a much slower vehicle, and the driver passed by movir.;
into the southbound lane. Oncoming traffic forced him
back to his own lane, but he was unable to negotiate
the second curve, rammed into the corner curb, a -id
blew out both tires on his right side. Fortunately,
he missed a family with ,,oung children playing on the
sidewalk. (A three-way stop sign at Newport and
Lakeshore Drive would have prevented this careless
driver from building up to the dangerous speed he did.)
In May, a woman attempting to cross Cap` Coes Circle
had to pull her two children back from a curb to avoid
being hit by two speeding cars. The cars were
?_ apparently playing "chase". Had she not pulled her
children back, she and her children would have been
seriously injured by the speeding vehicles.
A resident or. Lakeshore Drive has seen cars coming
toward his home at such high rates of speed that he
and persons in his home have been forced to
literally jump up from the comfort of their own
living room and run for safety to another area of
their home.
In May, this same resident witnessed a car traveling
in an easterly direction on Lakeshore Drive. The car
was traveling at such a high rate of speed that it was
unable to negotiate the curve on Lakeshore Drive near
its intersection with Newport that the car did a
complete spin -around and landed in a nearby neighbor's
( yard. `
The area surrounding Lakeshore Village is growing rapidly, resulting
s in increased traffic on the streets running into Lakeshore Village.
f We, as a community, cannot tolerate the dangerous condition this
reckless driving creates. A fatal accident is imminent.
We are desperately concerned particularly in light of the large
number of children in our area. Our sidewalks are not safe for children
riding their bicycles and walking on the sidewalks because of the speed
at which some of the vehicles are traveling on our streets.

P&ge Two
The high rate of speed on Lakeshore Drive is largely due to the
fact that there are no stop signs posted on the entirety of
Lakeshore Drive, enabling automobiles to reach high rates of speed.
This problem is compounded by the faces that Lakeshore Drive is a
curved street, thus forcing speeding vehicles onto the sidewalks
and lawns of residents of Lakeshore Drive. This creates a critically
dangerous condition for residents using the sidewalks on Lakeshore
Drive.
We feel that signs should be placed at the intersections of:
Mills and Lakeshore Drive -- a 3 -way stop sign
Newport and Lakeshore Drive -- a 3 -way stop sign
Timberlake and Lakeshore -- a 4 -way stop sign
Cape Cod Circle (both entries) -- yield signs or stop signs
Willow Point Court -- yield sign or stop sign
Wind ja-n-ner Court -- yield sign or stop sign.
We feel also that speed limit signs should be posted as follows:
Lakeshore Drive (both entrances)
Mills Street entering Lakeshore Village.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.
