CITY OF PLEASANTON <br /> KIER & WRIGHT DRAFT ENGINEERING SUMMARY <br /> CIVIL ENGINEERS&SURVEYORS,INC. OF ROADS AND INFRASTRUCTURE <br /> This system of roadways will provide efficient movement of traffic within the Specific Plan Area. The <br /> complete street network will eventually be comprised of both Master Plan roadways as indicated and <br /> Specific Plan Area minor roadways designed by each major developer. The street network is designed <br /> and intended to minimize Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and to meet the Level of Service <br /> requirements as recommended to provide a Sustainable approach for transportation planning. The <br /> number, type, location and design of local roadways, including intersection spacing,geometrics and <br /> other design elements described in this Specific Plan are conceptual.Any variations from figures must <br /> be consistent with the other applicable provisions of the Specific Plan and other applicable City <br /> standards and policies, including required level-of-service standards. The City may require additional <br /> design improvements and requirements, such as additional right-turn lanes, acceleration and <br /> deceleration lanes, and extended left-turn pockets, among other things. See Exhibits RD-01, RD-04, <br /> RD-05 and RD-06 for schematic layout of master plan roadways. <br /> The roadway system for the Specific Plan Area has been designed to enable safe, attractive and <br /> convenient access and use by a variety of users including pedestrians, bicycles, vehicles,trucks and <br /> public transportation. Pedestrian improvements include sidewalks on both sides of all streets, easily <br /> accessible walking trails within the park and open space areas, and accessible pedestrian signals. <br /> Bicycle Paths have been included within the Specific Plan Area to encourage and allow for alternatives <br /> to motor vehicles and to connect with the City's existing bicycle path network. The roadway system <br /> will also facilitate use of public transportation facilities by providing bus pull-outs and shelters for <br /> shade and protection during winter weather. Exact location of these facilities is to be implemented <br /> through the development process along with coordination with LAVTA(Livermore Amador Transit <br /> Authority). <br /> Water Supply <br /> Drinking water supplies for the EPSP area are limited. To help meet the Plan Area water demands, <br /> need for potable water supplies is to be reduced by using recycled water to meet most of its irrigation <br /> demands. Only the low density residential land uses will use potable water for outside irrigation <br /> needs. The potable water demands for the Plan Area are being met through a recycled water potable <br /> water exchange program. The Plan Area will extend the City's existing recycled water distribution <br /> system to provide irrigation water to parts of the City that currently use potable water for irrigation. <br /> As the recycled water system is extended, the potable water that was being used for irrigation is <br /> freed up to meet the Plan Area potable water needs. See the separate WSA(Water Supply <br /> Assessment)for the East Pleasanton Specific Plan Area for details on the water supply analysis. <br /> Potable Water Infrastructure <br /> The potable water infrastructure needed to serve the Plan Area has three components: 1)the on-site <br /> facilities (within the Specific Plan area), 2) off-site facilities needed to extend services to the Specific <br /> Plan Area, and 3)the expansion of the recycled water system to exchange recycled water for potable <br /> water supplies for each phase of development. <br /> I' a gc I2 <br />
