W1, COUNCIL COMMUNICATION TM AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Selecting State Route 99/Harney Lane Interchange Reconstruction Project as Project Nomination for San Joaquin Council of Governments' One Voice Trip MEETING DATE: April 21, 2021 PREPARED BY: Public Works Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution selecting State Route 99/Harney Lane Interchange 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. The One Voice trip is an opportunity for all jurisdictions in the county to work cooperatively to secure Federal funds. City staff recommends requesting funds for State Route 99 (SR 99)/Harney Lane Interchange 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 The existing interchange is an outdated design with limited operating conditions, resulting in a reduced level of service condition.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 Interchange Reconstruction Project was requested through the 2008, 2010, 2019 and 2020 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 forward 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 drive the need for the ultimate interchange improvements. In October 2010, Council awarded a contract for the SR 99/Harney Lane Interim Improvement 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 APPROVED: , City Manager \\cvcfilv02\pubwks$\WP\OneVoice\2021 \CSelectProject doc 4/12/2021 Adopt Resolution Selecting State Route 99/Hamey Lane Interchange Reconstruction Project as Project Nomination For San Joaquin Council of Governments' --One Voice Trip April 21. 2021 Page 2 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. It 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 $18,000,000 in Measure K funding available for the interchange improvements. This reflects a funding shortfall of approximately $20,000,000. 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 IMPACT: 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. For CS Charles E.
