REVIEW OF TRAFFIC REPORT
Vice Mayor Hughes, who chaired the meeting,
explained that the purpose of this joint meeting
with the Planning Commission was to review the
"Report on Major Streets and Traffic Improvements,
Lodi, California" prepared by Dr. D. Jackson
Faustman dated January 26, 1968.
Public Works Director Shelley Jones gave a back-
ground of the Traffic Report, stating that the
report had been presented to the City Council
in January, 1968 but had not been formally reviewed
or accepted by the Council.
Planning Director Schroeder discussed the methods
used in the collection and processing of data used
in the report, and said that the basis for the report
was the City's General Plan.
Mr. Jones then discussed three major points
presented in the report as follows:
-I-
Minutes of February 10, 1971 cor-tinued
(1) Estimate of future traffic volumes on :he
recommended major street network that will
result from full development of the land uses
in the General Plan;
(2) Recommendations for street width to provide
adequate traffic service for the projected
future traffic;
(3) The priority of construction of various elements
of the major street plan.
Mr. Jones reviewed the specific recommendations
made by Dr. Faustman and stated that some of
these improvements had already been made. He
pointed out that the City staff had been using the
report as a guide in responding to questions raised
by the public concerning the City's street system
and he recommended the Council formally approve
the report.
After discussion of the report, Councilman Kirsten
moved that the Council take cognizance of and
express agreement with the fact that the Planning
and Public Works Departments are using the Traffic
Report prepared by Dr. Faustman as a tool to guide
the public concerning development of the City's
street system. The motion was seconded by
Councilman Ehrhardt and carried by unanimous
vote.
Mayor Schaffer then suggested that the City's Master
Plan should be reviewed by the Council and Planning
Commission in a joint session. It was agreed by
both the City Council and the Planning Commissioners
present that joint meetings are to be desired in the
future.
There being no further business, the meeting was
adjourned at approximately 10:38 p.m. on motion
of Councilman Kirsten, Katnich second.
