BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Caltrans has requested the City and other public agencies review and update the Street Functional Classification System Maps within their jurisdictions. The last time these maps were approved by City Council was in 1987. In 1992, the Public Works Department submitted map revisions based on new city boundaries and changes to reflect the City's Street Master Plan. The Functional Classification System Map includes the urban city boundaries, streets functionally classified as "urban principal arterial", "minor arterial", and "collector". The remaining streets are considered "local". The designation and classification of the streets are based on the criteria established by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The difference between the classifications is not critical; however, generally use of federal funds may be limited on "local" streets. Another aspect of the System Map is that speed limits set on streets designated with functional classifications must be established by an Engineering and Traffic Survey in order to use radar enforcement per the California Vehicle Code. Under past federal funding rules, it appeared to be advantageous to have as many streets as possible with functional classifications and Lodi's map reflects this. However, the rules have been broadened and it is unlikely that federal funds would be used for maintenance of all these streets. Thus, staff is recommending that some of the residential collectors be "demoted" to local status on the System Maps. The City will then have more flexibility in establishing speed zones as well as constructing traffic calming features on these facilities. The streets that staff recommends changing to local status are streets of residential nature, within a quarter mile of an adjacent arterial or collector, and do not have signalized access at the connections with other collectors and/or arterials. In accordance with the FHWA guidelines, staff recommends removing six street segments, adding two street segments, and modifying the classification on one street segment. The following streets are recommended to be removed, added or modified: APPROVED: H.
