AGENDA TITLE: Authorize City Manager to Submit Reduce Motor Vehicle Emissions (REMOVE)
Grant Applications for Traffic Projects at Various Locations
MEETING DATE: August 16, 2000
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the
City Manager to submit REMOVE grant applications for traffic signals and
signal interconnect projects at various locations to San Joaquin Valley Air
Pollution Control District (SJVAPCD).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi has submitted federal applications to Caltrans and
San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) for six traffic signals:
• Stockton Street at Lockeford Street • Lodi Avenue at Mills Avenue
• Century Boulevard at Ham Lane • Elm Street at Mills Avenue
. Harney Lane at Stockton Street • Harney Lane at Ham Lane
To date, we have not received word on any of the applications. In addition to the signals, the
Public Works Department applied for a signal interconnect project on Lodi Avenue. By the time the
applications are to be submitted to SJVAPCD, the City should know which ones were federally funded.
Public Works will apply for REMOVE funds for the local match on any federally -funded project, and apply
for 100% of the project cost for any project not funded through the federal process. In addition,
Public Works would like to apply for a "traffic calming" study and improvements, such as roundabouts to
replace multi -way stops on appropriate streets, such as Mills Avenue or Crescent Avenue.
