CC -45(a)
CC -45(e)
Council Communication which recommended curb and gutter
improvements on Pine Street, widening the east side of
Stockton Street to ultimate width, and relocation of the
bus loading zone from Pine Street to Stocton Street. At
this meeting, the Council ,ave directi.n to staff to move
ahead with Vie proposed street improvements, including the
widening of Stockton through the frontage of the bus depot
property, and to re-agendize the relocation of the bus
loading zone:
The Council asked that staff meet with the owners of the
Lodi Greyhound Bus Depot to determine their concerns on the
proposed relocation ?f the bus loading zone. When the
owners were asked where they preferred the bus loading
zone, they indicated "makes no difference to us". Staff
then talked to the owner's supervisor, Pamela Arlett, from
the Greyhound Lines office in Sacramento. Her comment was
that loading on Stockton Street was originally their
preferred location.
Presented for Council's perusal was a plan which showed the
existing bus routes to and from the Lodi Greyheand Bus
Depot. It was the feeling of Greyhound Lines that, with
the proposed relocation of the bus zone, there would be no
reason to change the bus routes.
The owners indicated that if the loading zone was changed
to Stockton Street, the only physical change to the
building may be the addition of a doorway on the Stockton
Street side.
Following discussion, Council on motion of Council Member
Reid, Pinkerton second, adopted Resolution No. 87-127
relocating the existing bus loading zone on Pine Street to
Stockton Street. Staff was directed to notify all property
owners in the immediate area of the change.

CITY OFCOUNCIL COMM .UNICATIO
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
MEETING DATE: September 2, 1987
AGENDA TITLE: Review Parking Study and Needed Curb and Gutter Improvements
at Bus Depot on Pine Street East of Stockton Street
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Counci, approve the catch basin and curb
return improvements and relocation of the bus zone to Stockton Street north
of Pine Street.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the November 5, 1986 Council meeting, Council
approved the installation of a 50' bus zone on Pine Street E/Stockton
Street. At the meeting, Councilmembers discussed their concerns of high
parking demand and -long-term __parking in the vicinity of the bus station.
e
Council requested staff to evaluate the parking after the bus zone was in
operation.
Staff reviewed the problems of the existing bus zone location:
1. Buses blocking the stop sign;
2. Buses blocking the street;
3. Buses driving over the sidewalk and curb return; and
4. Limited parking.
These problems occur due to the present location. The bus zrne is adjacent
to the Pine/Stockton intersection which is controlled by four-way stop
signs. Stop ahead signs are also located on Pine Street.
There are mostly small businesses with a few residences and a church in the
area. Due to the type of businesses, there is a high parking demand.
Discussion
1. Buses Blocking the Stop Sign - We have received various complaints and
witnessed buses blocking the view of the stop sign. Staff reviewed the
accidents after the bus zone installation. There have been three
accidents and none of them were caused by the bus blocking the stop sign
(see Exhibit A). The majority of the complainants witnessed vehicles
running the stop sign when a bus was unloading/loading passengers and
blocking the sign.
From the posted schedule, there is a minimum of 15 buses per day.

Solution One solution to this problem would be to move the bus zone
to Stockton Street. The cost estimate for this alternative would be 5500.
Another solution would be to leave the bus zone on Pine Street but
install a flashing red beacon for approximately $3,100.
'_ Buses Blockino the Street - When two buses arrive at the same time, one
bus blocks th; street. The existing zone does not have adequate length
to store two buses. Partial blocking also occurs when a single bus does
not pull forward, back up, and park parallel.
Solution - The solution would be to extend the existing zone by
removing parking in front of the adjacent residence or move the Zone to
Stockton Street.
3. Buses Driving -Over the Curb Return - Since the bus zone installation,
the catch basin on the northeast corner '.ias been broken and has to be
replaced. With the bus zone located on Pine Street, the buses proceed
from a stopped position and cut the curb short, drive on the sidewalk an.i
over the catch basin. This curb return has a short radius and should be
replaced with a larger return.
Solution -'To allow - buses -to turn without driving on the sidewalk, a
larger curb return should be constructed and the catch basin relocated.
The estimated cost is $10,000 which includes a short taper (see Exhibit
B).
An option to the curb return improvements would be to construct a bus
turnout on Stockton Street. This includes widening Stockton Street
approximately 7' for 2 parking stall lengths and would cost an additional
$2,000 for a total cost of $12,000. The sidewalk area would be reduced
from 15' to 8'. This widening would conform to the ultimate width for
Stockton Street.
4. Limited Parking - Staff performed a parking survey before and after the
uus zone was installed. Four observatior.s (two times per day) and six
observations (three times per day) were made before and after the bus
:cone was in operation, respectively. As shown in the table below, the
parking demand did not vary overall with the installation of a bus zone.
However, the occupancy on some blocks is as high as the dowrtown area.
This is mainly because the businesses have limited off-street parking and
the employees park on -street all day.
