BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Steady growth in the industrial area east of SR 99 has resulted in additional traffic impacts at the intersection at Victor Road (SR 12) and Guild Avenue. After receiving several requests for a traffic signal installation at this location staff conducted a traffic signal evaluation that determined this intersection met the State criteria. Currently, this intersection is a 4-way intersection with stop controls on Guild Avenue, as shown on Exhibit A.
Victor Road (SR 12) is a Caltrans owned roadway. All improvements proposed within the Caltrans right-of-way require an approved encroachment permit issued by Caltrans before construction is authorized. The Caltrans encroachment permit was issued to the City in May 2024.
The project includes installing curb ramp, crosswalk, traffic signal and lighting improvements at the Guild Avenue and Victor Road (SR 12) intersection. This project will also relocate the raised median on Guild Avenue north of Victor Road to accommodate large truck turning movements per Caltrans request.
The plans and specification are on file in the Public Works office located at 221 W. Pine St., Lodi, CA, 95240 and can be accessed upon request during normal business hours. The planned bid opening date is August 14, 2024. The estimated project cost is $1,000,000 and will be constructed using local impact fee funds.
