BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the January 20, 1999 Council meeting, City Council requested staff work with Caltrans to expedite funding for the Kettleman Lane (Highway 12)/Crescent Avenue signal and median project. Caltrans' Office of Local Programs has approved funding for this project in fiscal year 1998/99 with the condition that this project be awarded this summer. The funds are from the Hazard Elimination and Safety (HES) Program, which provides funds for safety improvements on all public roads and highways. The funds serve to eliminate or reduce the number and severity of traffic accidents at hazardous highway locations. The initial project includes a raised median between Hutchins Street and Fairmont Avenue, and construction of a traffic signal at Crescent Avenue. Caltrans is interested in extending the median to Ham Lane, and staff is working with the Vineyard Shopping Center to install a new driveway at Crescent Avenue. This will provide a four -legged intersection at Crescent Avenue which would be signalized with street lighting, pedestrian protection, handicapped ramps, and emergency vehicle detection. Staffs contact with the shopping center's representative has been positive. They are willing to work with the City to obtain the necessary right -of -entry documents and agreements to allow the City to build the new access improvements and maintain the signal equipment constructed on their property. To meet the deadlines, staff requests City Council authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary agreements for the installation of this project. Staff has requested a local engineering firm provide professional engineering services to prepare plans, specifications, and an estimate for the design of the median and signal. The firm will also provide a traffic analysis to determine the lengths of the left -turn pockets and if "left in" only turning lanes can be provided, which will be incorporated with the design if possible. A cooperative agreement between the City and Caltrans for the construction of this project as well as future maintenance will also be prepared and executed. Prior to advertising the project for construction, staff will be requesting City Council approval of the final plans and specifications.

Box 2022 Lodi, California 95241 City Council City of Lodi 221 West Pine Street Lodi, California 95240 March 31 1999 Att: Alice Reimche As an owner of property on the North -side of the proposed median on Kettleman Lane from Hutchins to Ham Lane, I would like to know if there will be a turning left lane for traffic going East and turning into a business on the North -side? My concern is how would this median service those business on the North -side of Kettleman Lane? A U -Turn on Hutchins Street is illegal. Our main concern is no different than the City Council's that being, that Safety is the main objective. As an owner of several buildings on the North -side of Kettleman Lane, naturally it is a concern of ours that traffic heading East from Ham to Hutchins have the same consideration as what's being proposed for the sake of the center. Most Sincerely,. Anthony Canton City Council Dear Sirs; Since I am Unable to attend the council meeting on March 3, 1999 I am Sending you this letter. I beliLve it is necessary to have a traffic signal at kettleman Lane and Crescent Avenue due to the traffic problem. The median sounds fine but there must be a place to turn in at Fairmont Avenue to be able to reach the bank and other busnesses between FairmontAvenue and Ham Lane. To Not have that turnout would make it very difficult because beyond Ke-ttleman Lane on Ham their is a median to make it inposible from that side to enter that shopping area. thank You t!7 -i'- yI C -j )-� -s- yv 76 OL vi v C -T-7 Cyj� C-C- -�: J-za v-4-& ej )v r vo ) RESOLUTION NO. 99-38 A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE NECESSARY AGREEMENTS FOR INSTALLATION OF TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT KETTLEMAN LANE (HIGHWAY 12)/CRESCENT AVENUE, AND MEDIAN IN KETTLEMAN LANE (HIGHWAY 12), FROM HUTCHINS STREET TO HAM LANE, AND APPROPRIATE FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council hereby authorizes the City Manager to execute the necessary agreements for installation of traffic signal at Kettleman Lane (Highway 12)/ Crescent Avenue, and Median in Kettleman Lane (Highway 12), from Hutchins Street to Ham Lane; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that funds be appropriated as follows to cover this project: Federal (HES Grant) $221,000 Local (TDA, Measure K) $ 55,000 Dated: March 3, 1999 I hereby certify that Resolution No. 99-38 was passed and adopted by the Lodi City Council in a regular meeting held March 3, 1999 by the following vote: AYES: COUNCIL MEMBERS — Hitchcock, Mann, Nakanishi, Pennino and Land (Mayor) NOES: COUNCIL MEMBERS — None ABSENT: COUNCIL MEMBERS — None ABSTAIN: COUNCIL MEMBERS — None eiCE M.

HAYS City Attorney Thank you for your January 28, 1999 letter about the traffic safety issues on Kettleman Lane. At the January 20, 1999 Council meeting, City Council requested staff work with Caltrans to expedite the funding for the signal/median project at Kettleman Lane and Crescent Avenue. City Council also approved requesting Caltrans install a painted median at appropriate locations on Kettleman Lane with left turns "in only" openings where practical, and no -parking zones on the south side of Kettleman Lane between Ham Lane and Hutchins Street. Since Kettleman Lane is a State Highway, Caltrans is owner/operator and makes the final decision as it relates to all highway improvements. Staff did recommend the above improvements and City Council supported our recommendations. Staff and City Council do believe the best long-term solution is installing the signal/raised median project. Fortunately, as stated in the enclosed documents, Caltrans has approved and expedited funding for this project with the condition that it can be ready to advertise for construction by this summer. The consulting team designing this project will also be evaluating if left "in only" turning pockets can be installed at some of the shopping center driveways. We have also been working with the property owner's attorney for the Vineyard Shopping Center (Phase 1) on the improvements on their property. These improvements include constructing a new shopping center access across from Crescent Avenue, using the same funds as the signal/median project. This will create a signalized driveway for the center. Since the City's goal is to meet the necessary deadlines for the construction of the signal/median project, we are recommending Caltrans not install the painted median. In order to meet these deadlines, it is imperative that the tenants and property owners work together with the City to get this project completed.
