BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Public Works Department received a request from the Police Department to add a northbound through lane on Ham Lane at Elm Street. They received a complaint about motorists traveling side by side without a striped lane and were concerned that this was an unsafe condition. However, per the Vehicle Code, it is legal to pass or overtake a vehicle on the right in a business or residential district if sufficient width of unobstructed pavement is available. To install an additional lane at this location, it is necessary to modify the signal by installing loop detectors and install no parking adjacent to the new lane. Since electrical work is currently planned for this intersection with the Elm Street Reconstruction Project, staff felt this would be an appropriate time to install the additional loop detectors on Ham Lane as part of the project. In the past three years, there have been no collisions related to motorists traveling side by side. However, the additional lane will improve capacity at the intersection. Staff was able to contact one of the residents on Ham Lane who spoke on his neighbor's behalf. They did not object to the no -parking zone and felt the additional lane would be beneficial. The corner residence has parking on Elm Street, and the proposed no -parking zone is on their side yard. The other residence will have one large parking space on Ham Lane and also has a large driveway; the current resident feels he has adequate parking. FUNDING: Street Maintenance Account - $100 for striping UkL4C" Richard C. Prima, Public Works Director Prepared by Paula J.
