Option 2 — Installation of All- Way Stop Control
approximate cost of $ 12, 000)
Not recommended: MUTCD Section 2B. 04. 05 states " Yield or Stop signs should not be used for speed control"
Staff recommends that Council consider Option 1 as a solution to reduce the vehicle speeds on Barbara Terry Boulevard and Johnson Ferry Road. However, staff will install the all- way stop control if Council elects to proceed with Option 2.

VICTORIAN TRAIL, AND OHNSON FERRY ROAD AND FORTY NINER TRAIL BACKG ROU N D:

City staff has received complaints from residents regarding vehicles traveling at unsafe speeds at three locations in the City including Barbara Terry Boulevard and Adobe Way, ) ohnson Ferry Road and Victorian Trail, and Johnson Ferry Road and Forty Niner Trail. The installation of ail- way stop signs at the three locations has been suggested as a solution to reduce the speed of vehicles traveling through the corridors.

Staff evaluated these locations using the California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices ( MUTCD) and the City of Lathrop Neighborhood Traffic Calming Program. The following options are being presented to Council for review and consideration:

Option 1 — Installation of Striping to Reduce Lane Widths approximate cost of $ 7, 000 for Johnson Ferry Road & $ 16, 000 for Barbara Terry Boulevard)
Recommended: Reducing the traveling lane widths is an effective solution to reduce vehicle speed
Option 2 — Installation of All- Way Stop Control
approximate cost of $ 12, 000)
Not recommended: MUTCD Section 2B. 04. 05 states Yield or Stop signs should not be used for speed control"
Wide lanes often result in higher vehicle speeds due to the increased comfort of the driver and less consideration of their surroundings. Staff recommends that Council consider Option 1 as a solution to reduce the vehicle speeds on Barbara Terry Boulevard and Johnson Ferry Road.

Option 1 proposes the installation of striping to delineate the traveled lane from the on- street parking and reduce the traveled lane width. The existing lane width for Johnson Ferry Road is 17' with sporadic on- street parking. The proposed edge line and centerline would be installed to create two 10' travel lanes and two 7' parking lanes as shown in Attachment " A". The existing width for Barbara Terry Boulevard is 48' with sporadic on- street parking. The striping would be installed to create two 10' travel lanes, two 5' bicycle anes, two 2' bicycle lane buffers and two 7' parking lanes as shown in Attachment " B".

REVIEW AND CONSIDER TRAFFIC CALMING IMPROVEMENTS AT BARBARA

TERRY BOULEVARD AND ADOBE WAY, ) OHNSON FERRY ROAD AND

VICTORIAN TRAIL, AND JOHNSON FERRY ROAD AND FORTY NINER TRAIL Further, Option 1 promotes the " Complete Streets" concept and is consistent with the Goals and Policies of the City' s Draft General Plan by providing connectivity of the Mossdale neighborhood to the existing Central Lathrop bike lanes on Barbara Terry Boulevard, which currently terminate at Adobe Way. Complete Streets" is a concept that considers and provides the most safety for all modes of transportation on a street including vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:

Staff is requesting that Council consider the proposed traffic calming improvements for Barbara Terry Boulevard and Adobe Way, Johnson Ferry Road and Victorian Trail, and Johnson Ferry Road and Forty Niner Trail. Staff recommends that Council consider Option 1 as lane width reduction is an effective solution to reduce vehicle speed.

However, staff will install the all- way stop control if Council elects to proceed with Option 2.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Staff estimates the approximate construction costs below for the two options presented to Council:

Option 1 — Installation of Striping 23, 000
to Reduce Lane Widths
Option 2 — Installation of All- Way
Stop Control 12 000
Staff will pursue the option selected by Council, develop construction documents, and secure bids for the project. Sufficient funding has been allocated in CIP PS 22- 16 Traffic Calming Measure fund ( 3310) in fiscal year 21/ 22.
