ORDINANCE The matter was introduced by City Manager Peterson. The ORD. NO. 1402 staff report was presented by Public Works Director Ronsko INTRODUCED and Chief Civil Engineer Richard Prima. CC -48(a) Council was apprised that the proposed Traffic Ordinance CC -149 and accompanying Traffic Resolution are being CC -179 recommended for adoption for the following reasons: 1. Some sections of the present ordinance are obsolete with respect to the California Vehicle Code and should be revised or deleted. 777 s 1 3 Yui i n � � Y§ Y 'xq.4 f Y!

By taking advantage of all or some of these situations, Council and staff time will be saved and there will be a small savings in actual expenditures (i.e., publication of ordinances, revising code Gook). 3. Revision of the outdated ordinance has been recommended by the Institute of Transportation Studies under the auspices of the State office of Traffic Safety. To accomplish the above, sample ordinances from the League of California Cities and a model ordinance from the Southern California Chapter of the American Public Works Association were reviewed. The City's ordinance was reorganized to follow the order of the applicable sections of the model ordinance. Revisions were made to meet Lodi's needs and the draft was reviewed by all affected departments. The major change is the use of the "Traffic Resolution". It contains items now done by ordinance (one-way streets and alleys, through streets, speed limits, prohibitions on commercial vehicles, parking regulations). In general, it includes all traffic restrictions which are controlled on the street by signs. Citations can be issued under the appropriate Vehicle Code section or the City ordinance section requiring obedience to official traffic control devices. The resolution compiles other actions now done by separate resolution. Its use will eliminate the need for frequently revising the City Code in order to make changes in these areas. In fact, some ordinances (i.e., through streets and stop intersections) have not been placed in the Code because of the difficulty and expense in revising the Code with every change. The ordinance was reviewed with the City Coc,.cil at its shirtsleeve meeting on June 23. It was noted that the ordinance needed minor revisions and updating: Councilmembers suggested some revisions. Staff was also asked to hold a special meeting to discuss the sections on truck routes with the local trucking industry. A meeting held on July 7 was attended by nine representatives of =- local trucking and construction firms. Most of their comments have been incorporated into the revised ordinance. The major change is the recommendation that Turner Road be designated as a truck route. The representatives all agreed that Turner Road should be included and made some very good points. They included: yu: 9ifi- k� nnly nno aAct_umct .-nute Wac ►.w.n..eoa fUinhwav 191 while four north -south routes were recommended; there are a number of businesses located east of Lodi who transport materials to 'Woodbridge and areas west of Lodi and thus would not be exempted as deliveries; - the volumes and accident rates on Highway 12 are higher than Turner Road. With the addition of Turner Road and the other routes recommended by statf, the representatives agreed that Lodi Avenue, Ham Lane, and Hutchins Street north of Highway 12 would not be needed as truck routes. Additional .;hanger made at the request of the trucking industry in,--lude: - a deletion of the section on hazardous materials - The intent of this section will be adequately covered in the new Fire Code. In addition, Federal and State agencies are increasing regulation of hazardous materials. - clarification on abandoned vehicles - This section of the ordinance was not intended to include trucking and related industries. Wording was changed to make this clear. Tentative truck routes were reviewed and staff responded to questions regarding the matter as were posed by the Council. 1. Mr. Prima presented the following options regarding the proposed ordinance and Turner Road: 1. Adopt Ordinance and Resolution as is -=Turner Road becomes a truck route 2. Adopt ordinance and resolution except omit Turner Road between Lower Sacramento Road and Stockton Street, add clarification on "direct route" - no through trucks on Turner Road Note: "Direct" route shall mean the shortest route on a street as nearly perpendicular to the Truck Route as practical except that vehicles shall not be requir,d to travel more than an additional 1 1/2 miles (one way) on a Truck Route in order to comply with this section. This exception shall also apply to truck trips originating or ending at a lawfully conducted business within the City. 14;;:` r 3. Adopt ordinance and resolution except omit Turner Road between Lower Sacrar2nto Roac and Stockton Street - few truc!cs on Turner Road (if heavily enforced). Mr. Frank Alegre, 2000 Edgewood Drive, Lodi, urged Council to establish Turner Road as a Truck Route. Also speaking in support of designating Turner Road as a Truck Route was: Mr. Les Calkins, 39825 North Highway 99, Acampo Mr. Tom Sweat, 210 South Ham Lane, Lodi, The following persons spoke in opposition to designating Turner Road as a Truck Route: 1) Mr. Lawrence Fowler, 927 Parkview Avenue, Lodi 2) Mr. James Linn, 1134 West Turner, Lodi Mr. Linn also read a letter from Art Mellor, 1008 Laurel Avenue, Lodi, who also opposed Turner Road being designated a Truck Route 3) Mr. Ron Hackworth, 1017 West Turner Road, Lodi 4) Mr. Jim Burlington, 802 West Turner Road, Lodi 5) Mr. Frank Garcia, 721 Willow Glen, Lodi 6) Ms. Donna Phillips, 1040 Laurel Avenue, Lodi 7).

Mr. Van Hove asked the City to work with General Mills and asked that their drivers - not be harassed. Mr. Van Hove concluded his remarks by stating that they (General Mills) will ask their drivers not to use Turner Road. Mr. Mark Weber, 820 West Turner Road, Lodi, asked if truck traffic on Turner Road would get worse if it is established as a truck route. i Mr. Joe Giamnona, representing JSG Trucking Co., inc:., 19400 North Highway 99, Acampo, addressed the Council regarding his concerns regarding trucks being allowed to use Stockton Street. Mr. Bob Bird, 1117 Edgewood Drive, representing Claude F. Wood Company, expressed his concern and posed questions as to how this would impact construction deliveries. Theie being ro other persons in the audience wishing to address the council, regarding the matter, the public portion of the hearing was closed. Following additional discussion Council Member Hinchman moved that Council approve Option 3 heretofovz. set forth - j. "Adopt ordinance and resolutiot, except omit Turner Road i between Lower Sacramento Road and Stockton Street" but comply with the other staff recommendations. The motion died for lack of a second. Following additional discussion, Council Member Reid moved for introduction of Ordinance No. 1402 - entitled, "Ordinance Regulating The Use Of and Traffic Upon The Streets, Sidewalks, And Other Public And Private Places In the City Of Lodi; The Use, Parking, And Control Of Vehicles .Thereon: And Repealing Ordinance No. 493 And All Ordinances And Parts Of Ordinances Amendatory Thereof And In Conflict Herewith". The motion was seconded by Council Member Hinchman and carried by a unanimous vote of the Council. On motion of Council Member Hinchman, Reid second, Council, by the following vote, set forth its declaration of intent to not designate Turner Road as a "Truck Route" from Lower Sacramento Road east to Stockton Street: Ayes: Council Members - Hinchman, Pinkerton, Reid, and Snider Noes: Council Members - Olson (Mayor) Absent: Council Members - None Abstain: Council Members - None f00%r- 1 nn)l T ` �"� ° 'i'v � !

LEGAL AUTHORITY FOR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING E'dL_'JEERi1G EVALUATION I. INTRODUC"'ION The Team Engineer wishes to express his appreciation f or being invited to evaluate the Traffic Engineering program for the City of Lodi. The City has a very dedicated, competent and well trained staff and the condition of its traffic control plant is very good. In 1982, the Engineering and Enforcement Team did a similar evaluation. At that time the opinion was that Lodi was doing a very good traffic engineering job. The report made six engineer- ing recommendations, part of which have been done. Where appropriate, those recommendatio,-is that have not been accomplished will be re -recommended. III. LEGAL AUTHORITY FOR TRAFFIC ENGINEERING F f Title 10 of the Lodi Municipal Code, Vehicles and Traffic, assigns the responsibility for traffic engineering functions and for traffic regulations. There is no mention of traffic engineering or of a Traffic Engineer; however the City,: Engineer, who is also the Director of Public Works, is given responsibility to place and maintain traffic control devices, institute double turning regulations and paint parking stalls. The Chief of Police is assigned responsi- bility for emergency parking restrictions, bicycle licensing and, for some reason that is hard to fathom, the hours of operation of traffic control devices. in reality, this last item is decided by the City Engineer. The Council retains authority over all the major and minor traffic regulations plus the designation of loading zones, bus zones and red curbs. a i i 26 T = -Z=- i5 i:o Ticiiic: L.o:i::tiSSiU;l, but the Chamber Of Commerce has a Highway and Transpertat:on Cc=_J __e^ tha_ . ee_ Once a month and to which public offic a s in-�erested t � in the Lodi area are in -vi e .

This revision is still in process but it certainly should be expedited. The present Code is unusual in that -he Council retains so much authority, even over minor traffic regulations and operational items such as loading zones, bus zones and curb mar.,ings. Most City Councils keep jurisdiction over the more controversial types of traffic regulations such as one-way streets and STOP sign designation, but delegates authority for minor traffic regulations and traffic control devices to adminis- trative units. It appears to the Team Engineer that this would be a wise thing for Lodi to do. If this were done, and if at times the Council felt that the City Engineer was not as responsive to public concerns as necessary, they could always act as an appeals unit for the public. Another reason to revise the Code is that authority for " certain types of traffic regulations, such as the designa- tion of YIELD signs and interstate truck routes is not 11 spelled out. Recommendation #1 Improve Legal Authority for Traffic Engineering it is recommended that the City proceed expeditiously with the revision of Title 10 of the Municipal Code. The City should consider delegating_ control over all traffic control devices and mi.tor traffic regulations to the City Engineer; and transferring the control of hours of operation of traffic' control devices from the Police Chief to the City Engineer. Also those items not now covered in the Code regarding traffic regulations should be covered. 27 in rraff _c problems in the Lodi area are in -vi e . Whi1e the Committee has no official status, it does serve some of the functions of a Traffic Commission in that it provides a sounding board for public concerns on traffic problems.

Cherokee Lane RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council take appropriate action after receiving pub is testimony. Possible actions include: 1. Determine it is in the public's best interest to have sidewalk at this location and to overrule any property awner's objections to installing the sidewalk. 2. Determine this sidewalk installation is not needed at this time. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This public hearing was set to hear objections from the property owners required to install sidewalk on the Cherokee Lane frontage of their property at 501 N. Cherokee Lane. a I! On June 17, 1987, the City Council determined that sidewalk should be installed on the property fronting the Del Rancho Motor Inn.

RE{Clis June 2, 1987 CITY of LOU Office of the City Clerk 221 Lodi, CA P955224Street Attn: Mrs. Alice M. Reimche Dear Mrs. Reimche, We hereby wish to enter our vehement protest against certain sections of the new traffic ordinance and accapanying traffic resolution pending public hearing on July 15, Especially objectionable are the proposals limiting truck routes to Cherokee Lane, Kettle= Lane, and Victor Road, thus effectively eliminating Turner Road, Lower Sacramento Road, West Lane/South Hutchins Street, Ham Lane, Lodi Avenue, the full length of Stockton Street, and Bed mat Road for truck access to various points in the city. Almost all Products received in this city are via truck delivery, i.e., "If you've got it, a truck b t it!" The largest imaginable traffic problem would be created by shuttling all trucks to Highway 12 (Kettlemcn Lane) and forcing trucks away from alternate access to the downtown area and the area of..the General Mills facility via Lower Sacramento Road, Lodi Avenue, and Turner Road. The city keeps cutting away at our access to customers - you do this, as proposed, and you may as well outlaw trucks in Lodi altogether! Perhaps the truck carriers should boycott the City of Lodi in turn! Bec Tm Road is of great importance because of the high-qrade incline on the northbound offranp of Highway 99 Freeway at Highway 12 East (Victor Road). The off raw creates a spy ial traffic problem for slow-moving trucks versus fast-rroving autarabile traffic; the right angle of vision is poor; clutches burn out; and same truck tankers have actually overturned. Access northbourxl off the freeway is much better suited frau the Kettlemon Lone off raw, along Beckman Road to Victor Road. We oppose the section in the traffic ordinance pertaining to vehicles transporting hazardous moteriols (Article XV, Section 15.0), viz, no person shall wave any vehicle transporting a hazardous material, waste, L or substance, as defined in the Vehicle Code, unattended on ... private r property, except: c, when the vehicle is parked on private property in a location not less than 100 feet from any building except parking lots approved for the storage or servicing of such vehicles. That poses a definite problem for carriers with limited terminal space, and the more so if the product constitutes only o small component of a total truckload. FRANK C. ALEGRE TRUCKING, INC. 802 NO. CLUFF AVE. LODI. CALIF. 95240 209-334-2112 Alegre Trucking registers its protest to Article XIV, Section 14.1, P. of the traffic ordinance (unlawful to abandon, park, store, or leave vehicle) on various cents, including the seven day limit; the enclosure in a building where it is not plainly visible; and the exclusion of truck carriers from types of businesses listed. Regarding Section 7 of the Traffic Resolution (speed limits), we strongly feel that the maximum speed limit on Cluff Avenue from Victor Road to Turner Road should be thirty miles per hour (rather than forty). The maximum on Turner Road east of Highway 99 should be reduced fram thirty - f ive to thirty miles per hour. There Is much truck traffic on those streets, including that entering and leaving our terminal.

The stretch of Victor Road from Cherokee lane to one-half mile east of Cluff Avenue has became a veritable freeway for automobile and truck traffic, both of which are heavy.

It appears to the Team Engineer that this would be a wise thing for There is no Traffic Commission, .out the Chamber of Corierce at times the Council felt that has a highway and Transportation Committee was not that meets public concerns as necessary, once a month and to which pudic officials interested in traffic problems in the Lodi area are invited. While that authority for the Committee has no official status, it does serve some of the functions of a Traffic Commission in that it provides a sounding board for public concerns on traffic problems. The 1982 report stated that the City Code was outdated and was being revised. This revision is still in process but it certainly should be expedited. The present Code is unusual in that the Council retains so much authority, even over minor traffic regulations and operational items such as loading zones, bus zones and curb markings. Most City Councils keep jurisdiction over the more controversial types of traffic regulations such as one-way streets and STOP sign designation, but delegates authority for minor certain types of traffic regulations, such as the designa- tion of YIELD signs and interstate truck routes is not spelled out. Recommendation #1 - Improve Legal Authority for Traffic Engineering It is recommended that the City proceed expeditiously with the revision of Title 10 of the Municipal Code. The City should consider delegating control over all traffic control devices and minor traffic regulations to the City Engineer'; and transferring the control of hours of operation of traffic control devices from the Police Chief to the City Engineer.

It appears to the Team Engineer that this would be a wise thing for Lodi to do. If this were done, and if at times the Council felt that the City Engineer was not as responsive to public concerns as necessary, they could always act as an appeals unit for the public. Another reason to revise the Code is that authority for certain types of traffic regulations, such as the designa- tion of YIELD signs and interstate truck routes is not spelled out.
