AGENDA TITLE: 1997 Street Faire Locations
MEETING DATE: January 15, 1997
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council provide direction and authorize the
Public Works Director to modify the Street Faire Agreement with the
Lodi District Chamber of Commerce as it pertains to the location of the
1997 Street Faires.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Lodi District Chamber of Commerce operates a Street Faire in
downtown Lodi twice a year under the terms of an agreement approved
by the City Council in 1993 and amended in 1994. The agreement
specifies the times and locations of streets which are allowed to be
closed. In general, the location is on School Street between Lodi Avenue and Lockeford Street and
portions of the adjacent side streets and the closure is from Saturday night through Sunday on the first
weekend of May and October. Roughly 500 booths are rented to various vendors and the event is
attended by thousands of people.
This year, the area will be the center of the street improvement project portion of the Central City
Revitalization Program. The project is out to bid and, since we do not have a contractor or precise
schedule yet, we cannot say for certain how easily the Faire could be accommodated during the
project. Staff feels it would not be cost effective to require bidders to include such accommodations in
their bids and recommends that the location of the Faire be moved. We have been working with the
Street Faire Chairperson, Dorean Rice, on alternative locations and are requesting that the City Council
select an alternative location and direct staff to modify the agreement as necessary for 1997. While the
construction project will hopefully not affect the October Street Faire, it is possible that construction
delays may dictate that the relocation established for the May Street Faire also apply to the October
Street Faire.
The Chamber has requested a decision on the location in January in order to mail application forms to
vendors in February.
Public Works staff examined four alternate locations in the Downtown area and reviewed them with
Police and Fire staff and Ms. Rice. They are listed below in order of preference:
Location
Church Street north of
Walnut Street and portions of
side streets (Exhibit 1)
Advantages
• Maintains pattern of
School Street location -
very important to vendors
• Occupies fewer blocks due
to triple row of booths on
Church Street
• Close to parking
• Adjacent to power source
Disadvantages
• Increases conflict with
churches and residents
to west
• Places booths in major
access route

Location Advantages
Church Street and . Less disruption to churches
School Street north of at Church/Walnut/Oak and
Elm Street and adjacent side residents to west
streets (Exhibit 2) • Better access to parking
and Faire
Pine Street and Church Street e Less disruption to churches
(Exhibit 3) at Church/Walnut/Oak
• Better access to parking
and Faire
Sacramento Street and Similar pattern to
portions of adjacent side School Street location
streets (Exhibit 4)
Disadvantages
• Circular pattern poor for
vendors and patrons
• Away from power source
• Further from parking
• Awkward pattern for
vendors and patrons
• Most conflict with residents
to west
• Power source adjacent but
not in desirable location
• Disrupts
Police Department's access
• Use of side streets limited
by railroad tracks
• Away from power source
• Less compatible with
adjacent businesses than
School and Church streets
• Further away from parking
While staff preferred the Church/School (Exhibit 2) layout due to fewer adjacent -use conflicts, the
Chamber strongly preferred the Church Street layout (Exhibit 1) due to its similarity to past events.
Staff understands this concern and recommends this be the preferred location. One aspect of all the
proposed locations is that more driveways will be affected. Staff proposes that the Chamber of
Commerce be required to obtain permission from all businesses normally open on Sunday for which all
driveways will be closed. Staff feels it is reasonable that the City authorize the street closure in front of
other locations where an adjacent driveway will be left open.
Note that due to the significance of the event and its importance to Downtown revitalization, staff did
not consider other alternatives, such as locating the Faire elsewhere in the City or canceling the event.
FUNDING: Not applicable.
