A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL APPROVING THE
CONVERSION OF YIELD SIGNS TO STOP CONTROLS ON CHESTNUT AT
PLEASANT AVENUE, CHESTNUT STREET AT SCHOOL STREET, AND
TAMARACK DRIVE AT LEE AVENUE, AND THEREBY AMENDING
TRAFFIC RESOLUTION NO. 97-148, SECTION 2
WHEREAS, the intersections of Chestnut at Pleasant Avenue, Chestnut Street at School
Street, and Tamarack Drive at Lee Avenue have been studied based on citizens' complaints
received and accident history; and
WHEREAS, the Public Works Department's guideline relative to traffic controls at four -
legged minor street intersections is to control the street with less traffic using either yield or stop
signs. Where yield signs exist, consideration should be made to converting them to stop signs
when there is one or more accidents in a three-year period correctable by the conversion to stop
signs; and
WHEREAS, the Safe Approach Study considers the intersection layout and any permanent
obstacles, i.e., trees or structures, in the driver's line of sight while approaching the yield sign; and
when these obstacles require the driver approaching the yield sign to slow to 10 mph or below to
see cross -street traffic, a stop sign should be considered; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that the City Council approve the conversion from yield signs
to stop signs at the intersections of 1) Chestnut Street at Pleasant Avenue, 2) Chestnut Street at
School Street, and 3) Tamarack Drive at Lee Avenue.
BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Lodi does hereby approve the
conversion from yield signs to stop signs at the intersections of 1) Chestnut Street at Pleasant
Avenue, 2) Chestnut Street at School Street, and 3) Tamarack Drive at Lee Avenue, as shown on
Exhibit A attached; and 1
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that City of Lodi Traffic Resolution No. 97-148, Section 2,
