A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING
THE ALTERNATIVE TO MEASURE K RAILROAD GRADE
SEPARATION PROJECT
WHEREAS, in 1992 the Measure K Strategic Plan identified 14 railroad grade separation
projects and were prioritized based on criteria developed by the San Joaquin Council of
Governments (SJCOG); and
WHEREAS, the only Lodi project identified was Lodi Avenue at the Union Pacific right-
of-way; and
WHEREAS, in 1997, the City Council of the City of Lodi decided not to pursue the grade
separation project due to impacts related to the downtown area and the relative high cost of the
project; and
WHEREAS, the SJCOG has requested that the City reaffirm its position relative to Lodi
Avenue as there is potential to accelerate the construction of a project in Lodi; and
WHEREAS, City staff has reviewed the issues surrounding the City Council decision in
1997 and feel the same reasons apply today; and
WHEREAS, City staff has asked SJCOG to review the Harney Lane crossing as an
alternative as those issues do not exist at Harney Lane; and
WHEREAS, the right-of-way has already been obtained on the north side of Harney
Lane along with the right-of-way in the southeast quadrant being anticipated as part of the
Reynolds Ranch project; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed this item at its meeting on May 27,
2009, and has recommended that the City Council adopt the alternative as Harney Lane.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Lodi does
hereby approve the Harney Lane Measure K Railroad Grade Separation Project.
