A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO SUBMIT TRANSPORTATION
ENHANCEMENT ACT (TEA) PROJECT APPLICATIONS TO SAN
JOAQUIN COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS AND CALTRANS
BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager to
submit four (4) Transportation Enhancement Act (TEA) Applications for landscaping to
SJCOG and Caltrans for the following four projects in order of priority:
1. Lodi Lake Bicycle Path Landscaping (Application to be submitted to SJCOG
The City of Lodi has submitted a Bicycle Lane Account Application to Caltrans to
fund the construction of the bicycle path. Measure K Noncompetitive Bicycle Funds
will be used for this project also. The Federal Transit Administration will pay for
improvements at the entrance to the Lodi Lake where a new bus shelter will be
installed. The TEA application to COG for landscaping will be for $200,000.
2. Gateway Landscaping Proiect (Total Proiect Cost: $820,000) (Application to
be submitted to SJCOG)
A. Hutchins Street Median Landscaping
The City of Lodi Public Benefits Program is comprised of four main components:
1) demand-side management, 2) assistance for low-income customers, 3)
research, design and development, and 4) renewables. This particular project is
considered a demand-side management, as well as a research, design and
development project due to the tree planting aspect of this project.
Research has shown that planting trees, which produce significant shade
benefits actually reduces the temperature of what is commonly referred to as the
"urban heat island." In this case, the shade generated by the trees would reduce
the heat along Hutchins Street from Kettleman Lane to Harney Lane. The heat
is produced by the sun's rays and then magnified once coming in contact with
asphalt, concrete, and metal. By planting trees that will shade these surfaces
from the sun, the overall ambient temperature in a given area is reduced,
creating a "cooler zone" in our community. Existing examples of these "cooler
zones" in Lodi include: Pine Street (from Ham Lane to Cherokee Lane), and
Lodi Lake to name just a few. The estimate to landscape the median is
$135,000. The local match will be $25,000 from the Public Benefits Account.
B. Lower Sacramento Road Median Landscaping from Taylor Road to Turner Road
(Application to be submitted to SJCOG)
The Lower Sacramento Road project is in design at this time. The estimated
landscaping costs are $620,000. The local match would be TDA and Measure K
funds which are already allocated to the project.
C. Highway 99 Landscaping north and south ends of town (Application to be
submitted to SJCOG)
The estimated landscaping cost is still being developed.
3. Beckman Ditch Bike Path and Landscaping
This project will help with runoff water pollution control, would construct an eight -foot
bike path that would be separated from vehicular traffic, and provide scenic
beautification to the Beckman Ditch. Preliminary estimate is $510,000. This project
will be submitted to Caltrans & SJCOG.
4. Kettleman Lane Median Landscaping from Hutchins Street to Ham Lane
This project will be submitted to SJCOG and Caltrans. This median is being
constructed as part of the Kettleman Lane/Crescent Avenue traffic signal project.
The estimated cost for landscaping is $140,000.
