The project involves converting the I-5 SB and I-5 NB on/off ramps at Sperry Avenue to signal control with split phasing sequence. The geometry proposed involves modifying the I-5 SB ramps intersection to include an exclusive left and a shared left, through and right lane at the southbound off ramp, an exclusive left lane and a shared left and through lane at the westbound approach and two through lanes with a shared right turn lane at the eastbound approach.

The outer abutments to accommodate the proposed two additional bridge lanes are existing. The Sperry Road/Rogers Road intersection is currently being modified to provide an exclusive left turn lane, a shared left and right turn lane and an exclusive right turn lane for the southbound approach. The eastbound approach will be modified to provide two exclusive left turn lanes and two through lanes and the westbound approach will be provided to provide two through lanes with a shared right turn lane. This work is being constructed by private development to extend Rogers Road south of Sperry Avenue and will be completed prior to this project starting construction. Project Status Due to funding constraints, the project is being delivered in phases. Phase 1 is currently in design and is approximately 90% complete.

Local Roadway Safety Plan

Local Roadway Safety Plan | Patterson, CA - Official Website Skip to Main Content Home Government Departments Engineering Services Capital Projects Division Local Roadway Safety Plan Local Roadway Safety Plan Project Details The City of Patterson was awarded $72,000 of funding through the Department of Transportation for the Local Roadway Safety Plan Program for the Patterson Local Roadway Safety Plan Project. This project will address mobility and transportation safety concerns throughout Patterson.  The purpose of this project is to evaluate current conditions, identify potential roadway hazards, and utilize historical collision data to help prevent traffic fatalities and improve the safety of motorized and non-motorized stakeholders who utilize public right-of-way roadways.   Federal regulations require each State has a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP). An SHSP is a statewide data-driven traffic safety plan that coordinates the efforts of a wide range of organizations to reduce traffic accident fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. In coordination with federal, state, local, and private sector safety stakeholders, the SHSP establishes goals, objectives, and emphasis (or challenge) areas. The SHSP addresses the 4Es of traffic safety: Engineering, Enforcement, Education, and Emergency Services. While the SHSP is used as a statewide approach for improving roadway safety, A Local Road Safety Plan (LRSP) can be a means for providing local and rural road owners with an opportunity to address unique highway safety needs in their jurisdictions while contributing to the success of the SHSP. The process of preparing an LRSP creates a framework to systematically identify and analyze safety problems and recommend safety improvements. Preparing an LRSP facilitates the development of local agency partnerships and collaboration, resulting in a prioritized list of improvements and actions that can demonstrate a defined need and contribute to the statewide plan. The LRSP offers a proactive approach to addressing safety needs and demonstrates agency responsiveness to safety challenges. The City of Patterson is committed to improving the transportation safety needs of its stakeholders.  Requests For Proposals (RFP) for Engineering and Design Services were prepared and advertised in the Patterson Irrigator, on the City's website, and on the CIPList.com.  The City received several proposals from qualified professional consulting firms. The proposals received were evaluated using the Caltrans Local Assistance Procedures Manual Exhibit 10-B.  After considerable evaluation and review, TJKM was selected as the best firm for this project.   Project Status The Local Roadway Safety Plan has been completed and was brought to City Council for acceptance and implementation on September 5, 2023.  Patterson Local Road Safety Plan Government Websites by CivicPlus® Loading Loading Do Not Show Again Close Arrow Left Arrow Right [] Slideshow Left Arrow Slideshow Right Arrow
