b. The Development Agreement and PUD Condition __ requires the project will provide up to $15 million for widening the fight mm lanes from Bemal Avenue to the northbound on-ramp in the mid-!to longaam~, when determined necessary by the City. With this improvement, even with the Project and cumulative development, the inte~eetion will operate at LOS C in the A.M. peak and LOS D in the P.M. peak under the "without West Los Positas Interchange" scenario and at LOS C during both peak periods under the "with West Los Positas Interchange" scenario. In addition, the Gree~bfiar Project Phase I proposes fewer residential units than the Cooperative Plan or the Preferred Plan, so traffic impacts will also be reduced. 2. ~. Project traffic would contribute to traffic volumes on Bernal Avenue through the Pleasanton Avenue intersection, potentially inhibiting access from Pleasanton Avenue to Bernal Avenue. None. F__i~: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect identified in the Final EIR to a less than significant level. Facts in Sm>port of Findinff: The impact will be avoided or reduced based on the follOwing: a. The G-reenhriar Project does not propose any development in the north eastern portion of the Central Parcel by Pleasanton Avenue. Therefore, no traffic signal is proposed to be installed with Phase I. If, during the Phase II consideration of uses for the currently unplanned public space; development is considered for this area, further environmental review will be conducted at this time to determine if a traffic signal or other transportation improvements are needed. 3. ~llll~. Project traffic would contribute to traffic volumes at the 1-650 northbound on-ramp and southbound off-ramp, contributing to unacceptable ramp service levels during the AM and PM peak hours. Me,sore J2a. Improve the I=650 northbound on-ramp at Bemal Avenue from one lane to two lanes, subject to a reimbursement agreement with the City of Pleasanton; if the City has sufficient funds available when the improvement is needed, then the project sponsor may fund only the project's fair share of the improvement. Measure J2b. Improve the 1-680 southbound off-ramp when the 1-680/Bernal Avenue intersection is projected to reach-LOS E, or when the offramp volumes are projected to exceed the capacity of the single offmmp (comprising 1,800 vehicles/hour) based on the City's annual short-term traffic forecast. 23
