B. Topic(s)
B-1 Presentation by San Joaquin Council of Governments Regarding Smart Growth Plan (PW)
City Manager Rad Bartlam provided a brief introduction to the subject matter of the Measure K
Regional Smart Growth Program.
Sam Kaur, representing the San Joaquin Council of Governments, provided a PowerPoint
presentation regarding the Measure K Regional Smart Growth Program. Specific topics of
discussion included voter approval in 2006, funding breakouts, eligible applicant and activities,
infill development, neighborhood revitalization, downtown improvements, examples of projects,
review of preliminary infill sites, and countywide workshops.
In response to Mayor Johnson, Ms. Kaur stated an example of a corridor would include the bike
lanes, pedestrian walkways, and street hardware along Lodi Avenue, which encourage
pedestrian usage versus driving.
In response to Ed Miller, Mr. Bartlam provided an example of an infill site in Lodi on Lockeford
and School Streets, which is a vacant site that could use improvement.
In response to Mayor Johnson, Mr. Bartlam stated if you develop infill within the City then there is
a transportation savings because you are not having to expand or create new roads such as
Harney Lane and that savings can then be used for bigger projects. Mr. Bartlam stated Lodi
stacks up well when it comes to receiving the funding in comparison to other communities.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Public Works Director Wally Sandelin stated the existing
savings will be spent on the E -map project and the Lodi Avenue multi-modal/train station project;
although, the Cherokee Lane project may also be a contender.
In response to Mayor Johnson, Mr. Sandelin stated the Sacramento Street project would be a
continuation of the World of Wonders Science Museum improvement project.
In response to Council Member Hansen, Mr. Sandelin stated with respect to timing on the
Lockeford Street project staff is in the appraisal phase for acquisition of right of way and the
project is approximately six years out.
In response to Council Member Nakanishi, Ms. Kaur stated $1.5 million has been allocated from
the $65 million amount, of which Lodi received approximately $750,000. She stated the City
selects the projects to bring forward and the Board makes the ultimate decision on project
Continued October 11, 2011
funding.
In response to Mayor Johnson, Mr. Bartlam stated when there is a call for projects a review
committee makes a recommendation to the Board, which is why it is important to select projects
that will score well.
In response to Mayor Johnson, Mr. Bartlam stated Main Street would qualify for improvements
and funding because it is an attractive infill site with close proximity to transportation.
In response to Mr. Bartlam, Ms. Kaur reviewed the public attendance numbers at the workshops
held in Stockton, Tracy, and Ripon.
In response to Myrna Wetzel, Mr. Bartlam stated the infill sites have not yet been selected and all
possible sites will be considered by the Planning Commission and brought down to five specific
sites. Mr. Bartlam stated generally speaking any vacant half -acre or more site will be considered
and they generally are located in downtown or the east side of town. Mr. Bartlam stated to the
best of his knowledge none of the sites are currently being used for residential or business.
