dollars that still must be allocated to the project in order to move forward with the construction. Future funding will be determined as part of next fiscal year's CIP update. BACKGROUND The 2005-2025 Pleasanton General Plan Circulation Element and Traffic Impact Fee Study identified the need to add a dedicated right turn lane from southbound Hopyard Road to westbound Owens Drive. Currently during peak hours, the right southbound lane on Hopyard road backs up into the 1-580 eastbound off-ramp. This is due to the fact that the right lane is currently a through/right turn lane. If the light is red and a vehicle is proceeding straight, it blocks all those wanting to turn right and the congestion occurs. The 2015/16 CIP allocated $530,000 to fund the design and construction of the dedicated right turn lane. The Chick-fil-A development was conditioned to dedicate to the City the right of way needed to install the right turn lane as described in the General Plan. The new right of way boundary is now within 4 feet of the existing building to allow the construction of.the right turn lane. The project as proposed is also partially within the Caltrans right of way for the freeway off-ramp. Under the on-call contract, Quincy Engineering was authorized to design the right turn lane. During the preliminary design it was determined that in addition to the widening for the right turn lane, the roadway must be further widened to include standard width bike lanes. Unfortunately there is not sufficient land to install a right turn lane and the dedicated bike lane when only considering moving the west curb line of southbound Hopyard further to the west. To gain the needed width it also requires that the median be narrowed and shifted to the east. Since the project is also within the State Highway right of way, Caltrans was consulted to see if a variance could be issued for the bike lane. Caltrans denied the request, but indicated they would be open to allowing narrow traffic lanes to help accommodate the bike lane improvements. However, upon further study there is still insufficient area for the improvements without making adjustments to the center median. Caltrans will not allow the City to proceed with the intersection improvements that includes work within their Right-of-Way without the bike lanes. To accommodate the bike lanes, the center median width must to be reduced and shifted to the east approximately 4 feet. To realign the intersection, improvements on the north and south side of the Owens Avenue intersection will be required, and the removal of the northbound Hopyard right on to Owens Drive will be necessary. These improvements will build the north and south legs of Hopyard to the ultimate roadway improvements for the intersection identified in the General Plan. The northwest side of the intersection along Hopyard Road will not have sufficient right-of-way to install a pedestrian sidewalk. The northeast side of the intersections will retain the existing 5-foot wide sidewalk that extends to the east right-of-way line. DISCUSSION The Johnson Drive EDZ Environmental Impact Report assumes the improvements identified in the Pleasanton General Plan 2005-2025 are installed as they were budgeted in the 2015/16 Capital Improvement Program, and are necessary regardless of the Johnson Drive EDZ project. To meet the complete street policy and Caltrans design guidelines for the bike lane, additional pavement width will be needed to accommodate the southbound lanes on Hopyard Road. The most cost effective solution is widening the street to the west utilizing the land acquired during the Chick-fil-A project, narrowing the center median, and shifting the center median to the east.
