AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Amending Traffic Resolution No. 97-148, Establishing
Travel Restriction of Commercial Vehicles over Two Axles on Pioneer
Drive, Calaveras Street (Donner Drive to Murray Street), and Donner
Drive (Calaveras Street to Stockton Street)
MEETING DATE: March 16, 2016
PREPARED BY: Interim Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution amending Traffic Resolution No. 97-148,
establishing travel restriction of commercial vehicles over
two axles on Pioneer Drive, Calaveras Street (Donner
Drive to Murray Street), and Donner Drive (Calaveras Street to Stockton Street).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: It was brought to the City's attention that Targe trucks are
utilizing portions of Donner Drive, Calaveras Street, and
Pioneer Drive as a shortcut from Highway 99 and
Cherokee Lane to businesses located on Stockton Street, south of Turner Road. City staff
performed truck counts confirming that approximately 1.8 percent of the total traffic volume on
these residential roads consist of commercial trucks with two axles or more.
Though traffic data did not show a substantial amount of truck traffic, several neighborhood
residents have expressed concerns regarding large commercial trucks traveling on these
residential streets when alternate, non-residential streets, more suitable for trucks, are available
to access the Stockton Street businesses.
Staff confirmed with Lawrence Elementary School that a truck restriction would not impact
school deliveries. Additionally, the Lodi Police Department concurs with the truck restriction
recommendation. The proposed commercial vehicle restriction will not affect the roadway use
by garbage trucks, school buses, transit buses, or any trucks performing pick-ups or deliveries
on any portion of the roadways.
Staff recommends amending Traffic Resolution No. 97-148, Section 8, "Weight
Limit/Commercial-Vehicle Restriction", Part B, by establishing travel restriction of commercial
vehicles over two axles on Pioneer Drive, Calaveras Street (from Donner Drive to Murray
Street), and Donner Driver (Stockton Street to Calaveras Street). Exhibit A shows the proposed
signage. Exhibit B will be available on the City's website after signs are installed.

FISCAL IMPACT:
FUNDING AVAILABLE:
Reduced truck traffic on these residential streets will reduce road
maintenance costs.
Funding for the installation of signs will be from the Street
Maintenance Operating account (30156002), at an approximate
cost of $1,500.
