AGENDA TITLE: Adopt resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with the San
Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District and a cooperative agreement
with the San Joaquin Council of Governments for grant funding to construct a park
and ride lot located at 200 N. Beckman Road
MEETING DATE., October 15, 2003
PREPARED BY: J,D, Hightower, City Planner
RECOMMENDED ACTION- Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with the San
Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District and a
cooperative agreement with the San Joaquin Council of
Governments for the construction of a Park and Ride Lot located
at 200 North Beckman Road.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The current Park and Ride facility on the southwest corner of
Beckman Road and Victor Road is operating at capacity and is in
fact the highest use Park and Ride lot in San Joaquin County. In
fact, it is probably turning away prospective ride -sharers in that
the lot fills relatively early in the morning and thus creating driver inconvenience. At the same time, the
San Joaquin Mosquito and Vector Control District has declared their facility on Beckman Road as surplus
property. Staff has had early discussions with both the District and private parties regarding the potential
to develop a new and expanded park and ride lot on the northern portion of the District's property.
In pursuing this idea, the Council authorized staff to file a REMOVE grant application with the San
Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPD). Being an outstanding project with
quantifiable air emission reductions, the City of Lodi was awarded $110,000,00 in REMOVE grant funds
by the SJVUAPD for the park and ride facility. By leveraging these funds, the City of Lodi was awarded
$190,000.00 in Measure W' competitive park and ride funds. Thus making a total of $300,000.00
available for the project,
Upon successful negotiation with the Mosquito and Vector Control District and/or private party, the
$300,000.00 will be used to construct a 110 parking space park and ride lot on what is currently an
eyesore at the Highway 12 East off -ramp on State Route 99. Being an important gateway to Lodi, as
well as to the foothill and mountain communities in the Sierra Nevadas, the park and ride facility will be
improved with bike racks, lockers, transit shelter as well as landscaping. As part of the park and ride lot,
the SMART, Calaveras Transit as well as the Grapeline will provide regular service to the lot. Thus the
project represents an adaptive reuse of an important location within town.

The intent of the project is to make this site an attractive, well used park and ride lot. One aspect of the
project is to relocate the existing CalTrans park and ride lot across the street and the SMART park and
ride lot at the Omelet House to this facility, thus making a one centralized park and ride facility within the
area. By doing so, it is expected to increase the overall level of service offered by these agencies. The
San Joaquin County Household Hazardous Waste Division has expressed an interest in locating a drop-
off facility at the existing CalTrans facility once the lots are consolidated.
