AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing Public Works Director to Execute Agreements with
Caltrans to Install No Parking Signs or Paint Red Curb on Victor Road
MEETING DATE: July 21, 2021
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION Adopt resolution authorizing Public Works Director to Execute
Agreements with Caltrans to install No Parking Signs or paint red curb
on Victor Road.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City has received multiple complaints regarding the lack of sight
distance at the intersection of Victor Road (Highway 12) and Guild
Avenue. This intersection is a non -signalized intersection with 2 -way
stop control on Guild Avenue. Currently, vehicles attempting to cross or make a left turn onto Victor Road
must "creep" out past parked cars on both sides of Victor Road in order to see the on -coming traffic.
Since Victor Road is under Caltrans jurisdiction, staff contacted Caltrans regarding the concerns. Caltrans
did a preliminary review based on the collision records and pre -pandemic traffic volume and determined
this intersection does not meet the traffic signal warrant guidelines as established by the California Manual
on Uniform Traffic Control Device (CAMUTCD). Caltrans suggested the City install "No Parking" signs or
red curb on the south side of Victor Road to improve sight distance from Guild Avenue which will improve
traffic safety (Exhibit A). The proposed no parking limits on Victor Road do not require amending Traffic
Resolution 97-148 since Victor Road is under Caltrans jurisdiction.
Caltrans requires the City to apply for a Caltrans encroachment permit and submit a Council resolution for
the installation of the No Parking signs or the painting of the red curb. Staff recommends authorizing
Public Works Director to execute agreements with Caltrans for the installation of the No Parking signs or
the painting of the red curb on the south side of Victor Road (Highway 12 in San Joaquin County), 300 feet
east and 500 feet west of Guild Avenue.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of the No Parking signs installation or red curb painting is estimated
to be $2,000. The funding will come from the street fund.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Street Operation Budget $2,000
