uITY OF LODI. COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGEXDA TITLE: Set Public Hearing for November 2, 1994 to Consider the Eastside Alley Lighting
Project
MEETING DATE: October 5, 1994
PREPARED BY: Community Development Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council set a public hearing to consider staff
recommendations and citizen input regarding the installation of new light
fixtures in alleys as a part of the Eastside Alley Lighting Project. It is -
also being requested that thu City Council approve staff recommendations as presented, unless public
concerns warrant otherwise. Finally, it is being requested that the City Council authorize the
advertisement of bids for this project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the request of the Eastside Improvement Committee, the City
allocated $100,000 in Community Development Block Grant
funds from the 1993-94 entitlement for the Eastside Alley
Lighting project. The project area is bordered by Lockeford Street, Cherokee Lane, Kettleman Lane, and
the Southern Pacific Railroad Tracks. In consultation with the Lodi Police Department and the Eastside
Improvement Committee, staff determined that all alleys in this area need additional illumination.
According to the Lodi Police Department and the Eastside Improvement Committee, Railroad Avenue is
expecially dark and generates many police calls. For this reason, Railroad Avenue will also get new
lights.
In order to quickly install as many new lights as possible as inexpensively as possible, new lights are only
being added to existing poles and standards. No new light standr.rds will be installed at this time.
Installing 150 lights. the cost of the project will approximate $45,000. This will leave a remaining
balance of around 855,000 to pursue Phase If of this project, possibly next year. At that time, additional
alley and street locations will be considered.
FUNDING: Community Development Block Grant Funds
