CIW OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Report Regarding Washington Street and Acacia Street - Parking Study
MEETING DATE: February 20, 1991
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: None.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: At the meeting of January 2, 1991, City Council approved
the conversion of "Yield" signs to "Stop" signs on Acacia
Street at Washington Street. Also at that meeting, City
Council requested that the Public Works Department
investigate the residents' concern that the offset of Washington Street at Acacia
Street was creating a hazard for motorists. The residents feel that this offset
could cause drivers to hit parked vehicles. The results of the Department's review
of this request are shown below.
Dimensions taken in the field confirm that the alignment of Washington Street at
Acacia Street is offset by approximately 4.5 feet. Available accident records from
1987-1990 indicate that one accident has occurred at this intersection. This 1987
accident was a right-of-way violation and not related to offset in the roadway.
Traffic volumes taken in 1989 indicate that approximately 555 vehicles per day enter
the intersection on Washington Street.
Based on the above information, it appears that the minor roadway offset should not
and has not caused a problem for drivers. However, to provide additional guidance
for drivers and to reduce the likelihood of parked cars being hit, the cente'line
striping will be modified and two 20 -foot "No Parking" zones will be installed as
shown on the attached map. The Public Works Director is authorized to paint up to
20 feet of red curb without Council approval.
FUNDING: Approximately $100.00 from Street Mai nance perating Budget
