BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of modifying existing traffic signals in an effort to improve
operations, reduce accidents, and replace worn equipment. The following work is
included in this project: At the Cherokee Lane and Pine Street and Cherokee Lane and
Lockeford Street intersections, the vehicle signal heads will be replaced with larger
signal heads. There have been several right-angle accidents at both intersections. Most of these accidents have been
caused by motorists failing to stop at the red light. The larger signal heads will be more visible to drivers.
At five downtown intersections along Church Street, from Lockeford Street to Walnut Street, the backplates are worn and will
be replaced. New street name signs will also be installed on the signal poles along Church Street similar to the street name
signs currently located at Pine and Church streets_
At several signalized intersections, the existing loop detectors need to be replaced. The intersections include
Fairmont Avenue and Lodi Avenue, Century Boulevard and Hutchins Street, Ham Lane and Vine Street, Cherokee Lane and
Hale Road, Cherokee Lane and Lockeford Street, and Cherokee Lane and Victor Road. The loop detector replacement on
Cherokee Lane at Lockeford Street and at Victor Road will be coordinated with the Cherokee Lane Revitalization Project.
At Lower Sacramento Road and Turner Road, left -turn phases will be installed for eastbound and westbound approaches_
There have been several left -turn versus through accidents at this intersection. The left -turn phases will help eliminate this
I
ype of accident.
Plans and specifications for this project were approved on May 7, 1997. The City received the following two bids for this
project on June 4, 1997. The difference between the contract amount and the requested appropriation allows for
