Alegre Trucking, Inc. <br /> 802 No. Cluff Avenue <br /> Lodi, CA 95240 <br /> Dear Mr. Fowler: <br /> This letter is written in response to your request for Caltrans comments <br /> regarding the Recommended Encroachment onto SR12 from the Korve Engineering <br /> Traffic Study. As shown in Figure 8 of the Study, all conceptual elements of the <br /> encroachment are acceptable to Caltrans. The necessary left turn pocket, acceleration <br /> and deceleration lanes are shown on this drawing (enclosed). <br /> As an option to this plan, you may consider construction of a 12-foot wide <br /> shoulder along the north side of SR12 instead of the 12-foot wide west bound <br /> acceleration lane. This wider than normal shoulder will allow west bound truck <br /> acceleration to occur on the shoulder instead of the separate lane in the center of the <br /> roadway. However, keep in mind, this shoulder will require the same structural section <br /> as the travel way. <br /> The cost comparison would involve topographic conditions and right of way <br /> availability. We urge you to have your engineer work closely with Caltrans during the <br /> design of this encroachment. <br /> Should you have any questions please call Paul Cavanaugh of my staff at (209) <br /> 948-3954. <br /> VSincere , <br /> CA. <br /> Chief, Traffic Operations <br /> cc: R.
