Lodi City Manager
Lodi City Council Members
Gentlemen:
I am makina a formal request that traffic speed limit signs be installed
on South Fairmont Avenue between Lodi Avenue and Xettleman Lane. This is
one of our most important and highly traveled streets with Lodi Memorial
Hospital (and its emergency room) plus many professional offices.
At present there are no speed limit signs going south and the only sign
going north is for 25 miles per hour. This sign is placed at the beginning
of a school yard fence with a School Zone sign irn ediately following it,
giving the impression the 25 mile per hour is for the school zone only.
Lodi Avenue, Kettleman Lane and the cross street of Tokay have higher
speed limits and the conscientious driver has no warning to slow his
speed to 25 miles per hour. Adding to the confusion, the paralleling streets
of Crescent, Ham, Mills and Church are all marked repeatedly with 30 and 35
mile per hour signs. Many drivers assume Fairmont Avenue to be the same as
these other streets, making radar citations extremely frequent.
As a property taxpayer on South Fairmont, I also request a Radar Traffic
Speed Survey be )Wade at several points on this street. Judge J. Thomas'.
Seibly has publicly stated he would be happy to talk with any City Counci`-
members about his feelings on the South Fairmont Avenue speed limit situation.
He would welcome your calls.
Thank you for your constant devotion in helping to make Lodi truly "Liveable,
Lovable Lodi".
Sincerely,
Belinda C. Proctor
