Pleasanton Downtown Specific Plan EIR Scope of Work existing and future traffic volumes, speeds, and truck percentages for each roadway segment to be included in the model. Characterize existing and noise conditions with noise contours, and prepare noise contour map for the future project scenario, based on future traffic data. Overlay the two noise contour maps to understand noise impacts on sensitive uses, and outline any needed policy-level mitigation. Optional: If train vibration measurements are required, cost for this will be additional$3,400. • Public Facilities and Recreation (D&B). Assess parkland demand and impacts, and any resulting environmental impacts from need for new facilities such as schools, police stations, and fire-fighting facilities due to new project residents and employees.As part of this effort,contract service providers (such as schools and fire department) to understand any issues related to capacity or need for new facilities. o Traffic and Transportation (F&P). Land use and roadway network changes contemplated in the Pleasanton Downtown Specific Plan have the potential to change existing travel patterns, increase the level of activity within the Civic Center Area, and encourage increased walking, bicycling and transit trips. The following presents our proposed scope of work to conduct a detailed transportation evaluation. Study Assumptions Fehr & Peers will prepare an assumptions memorandum detailing proposed transportation analysis assumptions. This task will include estimates of project trip generation, trip distribution, analysis scenarios and locations, forecasting parameters, and significance criteria for review and comment by the project team prior to the commencement of the technical analysis. Data Collection Based on the analysis locations identified in Task 1, Fehr & Peers will retain a traffic count data collection firm to collect morning and evening peak period3 intersection turning movement counts, including a separate count of vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists and trucks, at up to 10 locations. We will conduct field reconnaissance to document the existing roadway network for all travel modes and observe roadway and intersection operations. Impact Analysis The intersection peak hour level of service at each study intersection will be calculated using the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual method. The impact analysis will be conducted for the following scenarios for up to 10 intersections: A preliminary review of available traffic counts indicates that at some locations on Main Street, weekday morning peak hour vehicle traffic is higher than during the weekday evening peak hour, while along the Downtown periphery(Bernal Avenue and First Street),weekday evening peak hour traffic is higher,meaning that evaluating the plan for only one peak hour condition could understate potential impacts at some locations. - 5 -
