PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
Adopt Resolution Selecting State Route 99/Harney Lane lnterchange
Reconstruction Project as Project Nomination for San Joaquin Council of
Governments' One Voicê Trip
RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt resolution selecting State Route 99/Harney Lane
lnterchange Reconstruction Project as project nomination for San
Joaquin Council of Governments' One Voice trip.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) is again
developing regional priorities in preparation for the annual
"One Voice" lobbying trip to Washington, D.C., in May 2020.
The One Voice trip is an opportunity for alljurisdictions in the county to work cooperatively to secure
Federal funds.
City staff recommends requesting funds for State Route 99 (SR 99)/Harney Lane lnterchange
Reconstruction Project. The existing interchange is an outdated design with limited operating
conditions, resulting in a reduced level of service condition. Funding for the SR 99/Harney Lane
lnterchange Reconstruction Project was requested through the 2008 ,2010, and 2019 One Voice trips
but was not successful in receiving funds.
The purpose of the project is to reduce congestion, improve traffic operations and accommodate
anticipated travel demand due to development approved by the City of Lodi's General Plan. The
General Plan identifies the Harney Lane corridor as the main area of growth for the City over the next
20 years where the projected growth in and around Lodi will put traffic demands on the interchange
that cannot be met unless improvements are implemented. The proposed project is shown in Exhibit
A.
Build-out of the Reynolds Ranch Subdivision is expected by 2023 and completion of the Harney Lane
Grade Separation has improved Harney Lane access to SR 99. Residential development in the
Westside and Southwest Gateway areas is moving fon¡rard and potential annexation of land planned
for residential development is being considered on the south of Harney Lane between Lower
Sacramento Road and Hutchins Street. All of these factors are expected to generate more traffic
along the Harney Lane corridor and dríve the need for the ultimate interchange improvements.
ln October 2010, Council awarded a contract for the SR 99/Harney Lane lnterim lmprovement Project
to accommodate additional traffic volumes expected from the evolving Reynolds Ranch development.
The interim improvements consisted of widening portions of Harney Lane, Cherokee Lane, and East
SR 99 Frontage Road; installing traffic signals at the intersections of Harney Lane/Cherokee Lane and
Harney Lane/East SR 99 Frontage Road. The interim improvements were completed in 2012. While

the interim improvements are expected to function at an acceptable level for many years, by the time
the ultimate interchange improvements are ready for construction (2030) that will likely not be the
case.
The project is regionally significant in that it links the two regional expressway routes of Lower
Sacramento Road and Harney Lane to the freeway system at SR 99. The combination of these
expressway and interchange facilities create the functional equivalent to a State Route 12 bypass;
thereby, improving the level of service on that state route and extending the acceptable operation for
potentially a decade or longer. lt is common for large interchange projects in California to require 10
plus years from initial planning to the start of construction.
This project is currently programmed in the SJCOG Measure K Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan
identifies approximately $18 million in Measure K funding available for the interchange improvements.
This reflects a funding shortfall of approximately $20 million. For this reason, the City is requesting
$5,440,000 through the One Voice process to initiate the preliminary design and environmental
studies; and final design and right-of-way acquisition. The City proposes to match the funding request
(15 percent), utilizing $960,000 in local Measure K Arterial funds. Preliminary discussions with
SJCOG staff indicate this is acceptable.
FISCAL IMPAGT: The SR 99/Harney Lane Interchange Reconstruction Project will provide
substantial economic benefit in the form of sales tax revenues. This
benefit will be realized after completion of the project.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable
