A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AMENDING
TRAFFIC RESOLUTION NO. 97-148 BY INSTALLINGA
MULTI -WAY STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF
LOCKEFORD STREETAND MILLS AVENUE
WHEREAS, staff has studied the intersection of Lockeford Street and Mills Avenue due
to concerns received of speeding on Mills Avenue and difficulty entering Mills Avenue from
Lockeford Street due to traffic delays adjacent to Millswood Middle School. Grapeline bus
drivers have also expressed their concerns of increased traffic delay, inability to turn left, and
maintaining their bus schedules; and
WHEREAS, Lockeford Street and Mills Avenue is a "T' intersection with traffic controlled
by a stop sign on Lockeford Street. Mills Avenue traffic is not controlled; and
WHEREAS, in reviewing collisions, traffic volumes, speeds, and average delay, the
intersection meets Caltrans guidelines for a multi -way stop control. Traffic volume on
Mills Avenue and Lockeford Street (74%J26%) is reasonable for a "T' intersection. Both streets
are classified as collector streets and carry a significant amount of traffic, indicating this
intersection is a good candidate for multi -way stop control; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends installing a multi-waystop control.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council hereby approves a
multi -way stop control at the intersection of Lockeford Street and Mills Avenue; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City of Lodi Traffic Resolution No. 97-148,
