HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - September 2, 1987 (85)EILERS LANE TRAFFIC
DATA REVIEWED Council was reminded that at its August 19, 1987 meeting,
the Council directed staff to gather and provide additional
CC -45(a) information on the Eilers Lane Street Closure Study. The
CC -48(a) following information regarding the matter was presented
for Council's perusal.
No Left Turn Sian @ Lilac & Eilers
A design for a "no left turn" sign and painted island with
raised bumpers was presented. If followed by motorists, it
would reduce traffic on this segment of Eilers Lane by
approximately 20%. This traffic will eventually use other
Woodbridge streets to get to Lower Sacramento Roar. The
next parallel street north is Academy Street fronting
Woodbridge School. The cost of this installation including
the necessary sandblasting is approximately $1,200.
Evening Speed Study
Additional vehicle speed measurements were taken Friday
evening, August 21, 1987, from 1:00 to 8:00 p.m. The
results are shown below. They are broken at 6:30 because,
at the request of a resident, the position. of the radar
vehicle was moved to allow a can to be placed in front of
it to help obscure the radar unit. The resident felt
drivers saw the radar unit and were unduly slowing down.
Staff does not feel this was the case.

Reduce Speed Limit to 25 MPH
The speed limit on Eilers Lane was set by the Council in
1986 based on the results of an Engineering and Traffic
Study. Vehicle Code Section 22357 is as follows:
15
"22357. Whenever a local authority determines upon
the basis of an engineering and traffic survey that a
speed greater than 25 miles per hour would facilitate
the orderly moveme►t of vehicular traffic and would be
reasonable and safe upon any street other than a state
highway otherwise subject to a prima facie limit of 25
miles per hour, the local authority may by ordinance
determine and declare a prima facie speed limit of 30,
35, 40, 45, 50, 55, or 6C miles per hour or a maximum
speed limit of 65 miles per hour, whichever is found
most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of
traffic and is reasonable and safe. The declared
prima facie or maximum speed limit shall be effective
when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are
erected upon the street and shall not thereafter be
revised except upon the basis of an en ireer.ng and
trafficsusurrvveX. The provisions of this sc-�tion
shall not apply in respect to any 25 -mile -per -hour
prima facie limit which is applicable when passing a
school building or the grounds thereof."
Based on the underlined portion, it is inappropriate to
reduce the limit except on the basis of a study. Since
conditions have not changed appreciably in the past year, a
new study would not result in a lower ^ecommended speed
limit.
If the speed limit were reduced, it is staff's opinion it
could not be enforced by radar or any other means. The
Police Department is aware of the residents' concerns and
is increasing their efforts in the area.
Chestnut Street/Woodhaven Lane Bridge Constructicn_,
San Joaquin County is initiatin the design of the
Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID? crossing structure to
ultimate width of four lanes. Construction is planned for
winter 1988/89. However, this schedule depends on the
timely receipt of funds from the County/developer
agreements mentioned in the August 19 Council
Communication. These funds will be collected at the time
of final map filing. The "Bridgetowne" protect which
includes land on both sides of Woodhaven Lane south of
the WID Canal is included in these agreements. It s� also
scheduled for a Measure A election this year. If it passes
and the property is developed in the City, a joint powers
agreement between the City and the County should be
executed in order to collect these fees. If this or other
projects north of the Canal do not proceed as estimated,
the construction of the crossing will be delayed unless
additional funds are committed by the County or possibly
the City.

Continued September 2, 1987
Summary
Because of the serious precedent in closing a street and
lack of a significant accident, speeding, or volume
problem, staff does not recommend closure of Eilers Lane
east of Lilac Street.
Staff has no recommendation on the prohibition of
southbound to eastbound left turns at Lilac and Eilers
except that if done, the installation should conform to
Caltrans standards.
Addressing the Council regarding the matter were:
A) Mr. Thomas Gau, 2336 Eilers Lane, Lodi
B) Mr. Russ Munson, 1530 Edgewood Drive, Lodi
A lengthy discussion followed with questions being directed
to Staff and to those who had addressed the Council on the
matter.
On motion of Council Member Hinchman, Snider second,
Council voted to install a "Ho Left Turn" sign (including a
painted island with raised bumpers) off Lilac Street onto
Eilars Lane.
The motion carried by the following vote:
Ayes: Council Members - Hinchman, Snider, and
Olson (Mayor)
Noes: Council Members - Reid
Absent: Council Members - Pinkerton

C i� Y O F L V VI COUNCIL COMMiFNIC�TION
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
MEETING DATE: August 19, 1987
AGENDA TITLE: Review Eilers Lane Street Closure Study - East of Lilac Street
RECOMMENDED ACTION: None.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the July 15, 1967 Council meeting, City Council
requested staff evaluate the request from the Eilers Lane residents to close
Eilers Lane E/Lilac Street (see attached letter request).
Exhibits 1 and 2 present the vicinity map and requested street closure
configuration.
Analysis/Discussion
To evaluate this request, staff performed the following tasks with the
results indicated:
1. Five-day traffic volume count (Wednesday - Sunday);
2. Peak hour turning movement count;
3. Speed survey;
4. Accident record review; and
5. Physical analysis of installing a street closure.
Volumes: The weekday average daily volume is approximately 1,200
veh'icTes. The weekend volumes are somewhat high compared to the weekday
counts (Saturday, 1,200; Sunday, 900). The traffic volume on Eilers Lane,
while high compared to a cul-de-sac, is lower than other through residential
streets such as California S/Turner (1,600) and Lakeshore Drive (2,280).
Destinations: Peak hour turning movement counts .showed that a majority of
tt eemmoto'rists using Eilers Lane are not single-family hone residents between
Lilac Street and Lower Sacramento Road. (See Exhibit 3.)
A number of the residents of Woodlake Place Condominiums (located at the
northwest corner of filers Lane/Lilac Street) use Eilers Lane between Lilac
Street and Lower Sacramento Road. In addition, Woodbridge residents use this
segment of Eilers Lane. The peak hour totals are:
Single -Family Home Residents: 11
Woodlake Place: 21
Woodbridge: 28
Other North County: 11

Almost every street in Lodi has motorists other than the residents of the
particular street segment traveling on it except for cul-de-sacs. For
example, Lakeshore Drive has a daily volume of 2,280 vehicles and a large
portion of the motorists are residents of adjacent subdivisions, Whispering
Oaks and The Meadows, located south and west of Lakeshore Drive.
S eed: The results of the recent speed survey were compared to a survey
to en in May 1986:
May 1986 July 1987
85th percentile speed* Westbound 33 mph 32 mph
Eastbound 3, mph 34 mph
The highest speeds observed during the radar survey were 37 mph (westbound)
and 38 mph (eastbound). The lowest speeds observed were 15 ,nph (westbound)
and 19 mph (eastbound). These speeds are not unusually high. For example,
we recently studied Lakeshore Drive at Timberlake Circle. The 85th
percentile speed on Lakeshore Drive was 31 mph (southbound) and 33 mph
(northbound).
Accidents: Since construction of Eilers Lane in 1985, there has been a
total of three accidents. All three accidents occurred in 1987 (January -
July). One accident occurred at Eilers Lane/Lilac Street, one accident
occurred at Eilers Lane/Lower Sacramento Road, and another accident occurred
on Eilers Lane W/Lower Sacramento Road. Both accidents at or near Eilers
Lane/Lower Sacramento Road were bicycle versus vehicle accidents and the
bicyclists were riding on the wrong side of the road.
Closure: The cost to install a street closure as requested includes
materials for posts, directional and warning signs, sandblasting existing
markings (stop signs, left and right turn lanes, and centerlines), and
painting of new'erkings, It is estimated that the cost would range between
$1,500 and $2,300, depending on the type of material used to barricade the
street. The cheapest is wood posts; metal guard rail is more. expensive. The
maintenance cost was not included in the price. Wood posts would have higher
maintenance costs than a metal guard rail. Cleaning of debris from the
street in the closure area would have to be done by hand.
If the street is closed according to the request, the Fire Department would
have trouble using the fire hydrant located at Lilac Street. The fire trucks
need a proper turn -around and direct access to the fire hydrants. The Lilac
Street fire hydrant supplies fire protection to a portion of the Eilers Lane
residents.
*85th percentile speed is the speed at or below which 85% of the traffic is
moving. This speed is a major factor in determining the posted speed limit.

Additionally, there would be a major problem backing out of the driveway on
the south side of Eilers Lane at Lilac Street.
To properly close the street, a cul-de-sac should be constructed (see Exhibit
4). The City would need to acquire right-of-way, relocate a street light and
other utility connections, and residents would need to relocate their
driveways. No cost estimate was made for this work.
As stated in the Eilers Lane residents' request, their main concern was the
safety of their children. They felt that, "Many Woodbridge residents use
Eilers Lane when traveling to Lodi and are driving through our neighborhood
at excessive speeds." Every resident in Lodi is concerned for the safety of
their children. The volumes and speeds on this street are similar to the
speeds of other residential streets.
The request stated, "Closing Eilers Lane at Lilac Street would not only
protect the safety of our children, but also the children going to the
Woodbridge School." The street closure would eliminate some traffic on
Eilers Lane; however, it would not eliminate the previous crossing problem at
Lower Sacramento Road/Eilers Lane. The problem was that students were riding
their bicycles on the sidewalks on the wrong side of traffic and motorists
were unaware of these bicyclists. With the improvements on the north side of
Turner Road east of Lower Sacramento Road, a paved walk on the east side of
Lower Sacramento Road, and a crosswalk at Eilers, the suggested route to
school will eliminate this problem.
With the s.reet closure, the stop signs would be removed at Eilers Lane/Lilac
Street ar_ a 90° bend would be created. Students coming from the north side
of Eilers Lane west of Lilac Street would not have as safe a crossing as with
the existing multi -way stop intersection.
The traffic patterns in the area will change when the Woodhaven/Chestnut
bridge is constructed (see Exhibit 1). San Joaquin County and various
developers in the Woodbridge area have made a.cost sharing agreement for this
WID crossing (see Exhibit 5). A majority of through trips to/from Woodbridge
on Eilers Lane/Lilac Street should be eliminated with this construction in
the next few years.
If the City was to consider closure of every residential street that has
motorists other than the immediate residents using it, every street longer
than one block would be a candidate.
It is not recommended that Eilers Lane east of Lilac Street be closed.

Dear Council Members:
We, the residents of Eilers Lane, request that Eilers Lene be closed
to through traffic at Lilac Street.
Eilers Lane is a designated local street, and, as such, should provide
access primarily for the residents of Eilers Lane. Currently, however, Eilers
Lane is functioning as a collector street. This situation is due to the
elimination of a segment of Lilac St. connecting to Turner Road at Lower
Sacramento Road with the development of the Woodlake North Subdivision; and,
equally important, because the Woodhaven Lane/Chestnut St. bridge has not
been constructed. Many Woodbridge residents use Eilers Lane when. traveling
to Lodi and are driving through our neighborhood at excessive speeds.
The main reason for our request is the safety of our children. There
are 20 homes on Eilers Lane and about as many children, most of whom are grammar
school age or younger. In a related matter, the principal of the Woodbridge
School appeared before you on June 3,1987 and expressed his concern about the
safety of the children going to school. Action is being taken to stripe three
crosswalks and to hire a crossing guard. Closing Eilers Lane'at Lilac St.
would not only protect the safety of our children, but also the children going
to the Woodbridge School.
Attached is a signed petition requesting the closure of Eilers, Lane
at Lilac St. and also a sketch for your information which includes one
possible solution. We would welcome the opportunity to appear before you to
personally express our concerns. Your consideration in this matter is
greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
The Eilers Lane Residents

It has been brought to our attention that the City of Lodi is
considering a request to close Eilers Lane between Woodhaven Lane
and Lower Sacramento Road. On July 2, 1987, an Agreement was
executed between San Joaquin County and various property owners
in the Woodbridge area. In essence, the Agreement provides that
all the participants in the Agreement will contribute a propor-
tionate share for the design and construction of a bridge ani
related road work on the Chestnut Street alignment over the
Woodbridge Irrigation District Canal. San Joaquin County will
also contribute to the construction fund for the bridge and
related facilities. The County will design and award a contract
for the construction of the structure during the 1988 construc-
tion season.
Due to the abandonment of Lilac Street by the City, in conjunc-
tion with the Final Map of Woodlake North Unit No. 2, the traffic
circulation in that area was deprived of an important north/south
street. It is anticipated that with the construction of the
Chestnut Street Bridge, the circulation for this entire area will
be significantly improved. Therefore, in our opinion, the pro-
posed closure of Eilers Lane is not an appropriate method of pro-
viding adequate circulation for that area and recommend that the
requested closure not be approved by the City of Lodi.
Thank you for this opportunity to respond to an important issue,
and for your anticipated favorable consideration.

From: Cfficer James Mize
Date: September 1, 1987
Subject: SPEED OF EILERS LANE
Per the request of Chief Williams' memo of 8-20-87,
regarding the speed on Eilers Lane, I have compiled the
following information:
su 01 '87
City Managees o"ice
On August 28, 1987 from 1600 - 2000 hrs. I worked radar in
Car 14. From 1600 hrs to 1800 hrs. I positioned myself on
Eilers Lane east of Lilac Street, and then from 1800 hrs.
to 2000 hrs. I again positioned myself on Eilers Lane west
of Lilac Street. It appears there is heavier traffic
eastbound on Eilers Lane from the area of Woodhaven and
Turner Road, this being up until approximately; 1740 hrs.
This traffic appears to be commuter traffic. After 1800
hrs, traffic is very light for bath east and westbound
traffic on Eilers Lane. During the hours I was working
this area there was one empty cemer.t truck which passed
through, apparently enroute to his yard, and then there was
also a flatbed truck making a delivery of gravel to 2359
Eilers Lane. While in this area, I issued the following
citations:
o 1615 hrs. 22450 CVC (Stop Sign) at Lilac & Eilers Lane
