After review, we have concerns with the potential <br /> impact this project could have on traffic and the roadway. <br /> Our concern relates to the trucks which will be using this roadway. The intersection of Shulte <br /> Road at Hansen Road will be problematic for over]ength Surface Transportation Assistance Act <br /> (STAA)trucks because of the turning radius needed to accommodate them. Overlength trucks <br /> will not be able to safely tura onto Hansen Road without leaving their designated lane. This <br /> could result in traffic collisions with light standards and/or other vehicles. Hansen Road is <br /> currently not designated a STAA approved route. In order to be a STAA route the proposed site <br /> would need a 24 hour turn around with terminal access,plus roadway improvements to <br /> acconvnodate these vehicles. I do not see mention of road improvements in the plans we <br /> received. Furthermore, part of Hansen Road becomes private property prior to the proposed site. <br /> This exempts part of the roadway from the vehicle code, which hinders enforcement. This <br /> project could have a negative impact on our operations due to the increased truck traffic, which <br /> could necessitate the need for additional traffic control measures to mitigate the potential <br /> increase in traffic collisions. <br /> If you have any questions regarding these concerns, please contact me at (209) 835-8920. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> vv <br /> D.WHARRY, Lieutenant <br /> Convnander <br /> Safety, Service, and Security An Internationally Accredited Agency <br />
