BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Currently, the signalized intersections on Ham Lane at Vine Street, Tokay Street and Lockeford Street (except in the north/ south direction) do not provide protected left turning movements for vehicles. The signals have operated this way for many years. In 2014, Staff completed the annual, city wide intersection study list which recommended the protected left turn phases at these intersections be installed. The recommendation is based on criteria established in the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. This project consists of modifying traffic signals to accommodate protected left turn movements at the Vine Street, Tokay Street and Lockeford Street intersections on Ham Lane. The work includes installing four new signal poles (two each at Vine Street and Tokay Street), and new service pedestals, cabinet controller equipment, LED countdown pedestrian signals, at each of these locations. The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works office. The planned bid opening date is August 12, 2015. The estimated project cost is $290,200. FISCAL IMPACT: There will be a slight increase in signal maintenance costs at these intersections. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award. F.
