Exhibit A <br /> <br />Agreement for Cooperative Management <br /> of the 1-580 Corridor <br /> <br />1) The Goals of cooperatively managing the freeway and arterial system along the I-580 <br />corridor are: <br /> <br />a) To provide predictable travel times and speeds on the freeway during peak <br />commute periods to encourage regional traffic to use the freeway instead of cutting <br />across Pleasanton on surface streets. <br /> <br />b) To coordinate freeway and arterial operations to ensure efficient operation of both <br />facilities. <br /> <br />c) To reduce overall delay and ensure that delays that do occur do not impose an <br />excessive or inequitable burden on any community or group of trip-makers. <br /> <br />d) To provide consistent speed and predictable travel times for freeway travel by <br />managing access at local on ramps during peak periods. <br /> <br />e) To identify the most congested segments and nodes in the transportation system <br />and explore means to reduce these "hot spots." <br /> <br />2) 1-580 should be metered in a manner that effectively facilitates corridor movement and <br />fairly accommodates the need for local access to the freeway. This plan shall <br /> <br />a) Ensure that queues from metered ramps do not impede operation of intersections, <br /> streets or block access to private property. <br /> <br />b) Ensure that no communities are burdened with ramp delays that are <br /> disproportionate or excessive. <br /> <br />c) Ensure that each community will have at least as much access to the freeway as it <br /> had prior to ramp metering. <br /> <br />d) <br /> <br />Ensure that if queues at metered on-ramps cannot be accommodated within the <br />constraints defined above, metering rates will be set to allow congestion to build <br />on the freeway mixed flow lanes during peak periods. <br /> <br /> <br />
