Cooperation in a Tri-Valley traffic monitoring and improvement program. Because improvements to the freeway or highway network are usually dependent on State and Federal financing, additional measures are not available to the City of Pleasanton to reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level. Finding: Cumulative Traffic and Circulation Impact Infeasible to Fully Mitigate The City finds that no feasible mitigation measures are available to reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level. Statements of Overriding Consideration would be required prior to approval of projects that would result in cumulative development in Pleasanton. Impact: Excessive traffic noise along roadways The City finds that buildout of the Pleasanton GP will result in cumulative traffic levels along 1-580, 1-680, Hopyard Road~ Santa Rita Road, First Street, Stanley Boulevard, Sunol Boulevard and Valley Avenue that would result in significant noise impact along these roadways. This is a significant cumulative impact (Draft EIR, page 12-3). Proposed Mitigation Measures of the EIR: Implement Noise Mitigation in Pleasanton General Plan The Pleasanton GP provides for an on-going program of noise mitigation including noise barrier construction along major segments of roadway. In addition to noise barriers, the General Plan provides for several addition noise mitigations, as identified on page 12-3 of the Draft EIR. Finding: Cumulative Traffic Noise Mitigation Feasible and Required The City found that the Pleasanton General Plan noise program was feasible when it adopted the General Plan. 26
