Subject: FW: LUND RANCH DEVELOPMENT From: Block, David (SV) Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2015 1:58 PM To: Mayor and City Council Subject: LUND RANCH DEVELOPMENT Subject: Lund Ranch Development SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL AL Provided to the City Council After Distribution of Packet Date I support the Planning Commission recommendation to have the sole vehicle (road) connection to Lund Ranch via Sunset Creek Lane. Despite all the talk about Measure PP, I believe that if we are honest with ourselves, we will all admit that this issue is not about PP but is really about traffic, and that Measure PP is being used as a technicality to prevent additional traffic through Sycamore Heights. Regarding the traffic issue, below are the results of the 2012 Greenbriar traffic study done by Fehr & Peers of the neighborhoods in question. On Sycamore Road , there are 3440 trips per day. But, this is only on a very short and straight section of Sycamore Road near Sunol Blvd. A mere 200 yards from Sunol, this number reduces to 1900 on Sycamore Creek Way and then dwindles down further to 580 on Summit Creek and Sunset Creek Lanes. In addition, there is no landmark in the Sycamore Heights neighborhood along this path that would attract significant pedestrian traffic. On the Junipero side, the section that is near Sunol Blvd has 2880 trips per day but is adjacent to Raley's supermarket, where lots of cars are turning into the Raley's parking lot and many people are crossing Junipero street on foot to get to this shopping center. Further down Junipero adjacent to Mission Hills Park, there is still is upwards of 2500 trips per day. And these numbers do not even include the anticipated cut - through traffic from the new 345 -unit apartment complex at Bernal and Stanley, which could add significantly to these numbers. 1
