BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Mary Joan Starr, Facility Planner for Lodi Unified School District, has submitted the following requests from Erma Reese, Washington and Heritage Schools regarding changes in curb markings: ERMA REESE SCHOOL (See Exhibit A) A 243 -foot passenger zone was added to an existing 130 -foot zone in April 1975, at the request of the district. The request now is to abandon the zone to provide on -street parking for teachers, parents and others. Twenty-five feet of the zone would remain at the east end to provide access to a mailbox and sight distance at most times for drivers exiting the school parking lot. We recommend the west 218 -feet of the existing 243 -foot zon,-. be abandoned with the condition that the district bear the cost of the removal ($545). APPROVED: HENRY A. GLAVES. C tY Manager e City Council December 9, 1982% G Page 2 GEORGE WASHINGTON SCHOOL (See Exhibit B) Nick Dellan, principal of Washington School, requests the changes shown to ease traffic congestion problems in the area. Mr. Dellan states that less curb space is needed for busses and more for parents loading and unloading passengers. The lengths of ti:e existing zones were determined by the school district in October 1978, and the cost of changing them is estimated at $60. The Engineering Division recommends that the changes be approved if the cost is borne by the district. Mr. Dellan also requests a mid -block school crossing, to be located approximately 225 -feet east of an existing school crossing at Lockeford and Orange, and 375 -feet west of a crossing at Lockeford and Crescent. The crossing would be near the main entrance to the school. At the present time, when parents drop off child -en, there is not a crosswalk at that specific location for the children to use, and, as a consequence, many of them violate the crossing rules with their parents' permission. School Safety Patrols are now being used to control school children across Lockeford Street at both existing crossings, and it is the intent of the principal to operate a patrol only at the mid -block crossing if approved. Although school patrols might operate the crossing safely during school hours, the crossing will be there as an invitation for use at other times, too. The Engineering Department has submitted several reports to the City Council regarding mid -block crosswalks and crosswalks in general. In brief, these studies have shown that poorly located crosswalks may tend to increase the hazard to pedestrians and motorists alike. Additionally, a study done by the City of San Diego showed that in terms of the number of pedestrians using crosswalks, approximately twice the rate of pedestrian accidents occur in marked crosswalks as in unmarked crosswalks. The Engineering Division recommends that, in the interest of safety, the request for amid -block crossing be denied. HERITAGE SCHOOL (See Exhibit C) In September 1977, the district requested a bus zone on the north side of Eden Street east of Garfield Street. In October 1978, the district requested that the bus tore be converted to a passenger loading & unloading zone. The district now requests the passenger loading & unloading zone be converted back to a bus zone. In October 1978, the district requested a 75 -foot bus zone on the east side of Garfield Street north of Flora Street. In December 1979, the district requested an extension of the zone, and now requests the abandonment of the entire zone to provide on -street parking. TRAFOI/cm City Council December 9, 1982 `K C. / G Page 3 Officials of the school have also made a request for a new 155 -foot passenger loading 6 unloading zone to be located on Garfield Street north of Eden Street to replace the one being abandoned on Eden Street. The Engineering Division recommends the approval of the three items with the condition that the district bear the cost of necessary sandblasting and sign relocation o 5410. Jac L.
