Prior to the start of construction of the Stoneridge Drive bridges, the City will hold a public workshop in the Stoneridge Drive neighborhood detailing the mitigations and conditions required for the opening of Stoneridge Drive to through traffic to and from El Charro Road; and also providing participants with a timeline when milestones will occur. 2. A gate or barrier will be installed preventing through traffic to and from El Charro Road via Stoneridge Drive. The gate or barrier will be accessible by public safety employees, Zone 7, Wheels (Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority) and other public agencies to meet the public interest as deemed appropriate by the City of Pleasanton. 3. The gate or barrier will be located such that it allows access to the Auto Mall from either side or both sides of the gate or barrier, but must be configured to inhibit through traffic from using the proposed Auto Mall entry road to bypass the gate or barrier. The City may, from time to time, move the gate or barrier to accommodate site development and activities provided it continue to be installed preventing through traffic to and from El Charro Road via Stoneridge Drive. 4. The gate or barrier on Stoneridge Drive will be removed allowing through traffic to and from El Charro Road subject to the terms and conditions of the Regional Agreement when the City of Livermore has opened Jack London Boulevard between Isabel Parkway and El Charro Road as a two lane roadway (with four lanes at the intersection of El Charro Road and Isabel Parkway). Two years after the opening of Stoneridge Drive as a two lane roadway allowing through traffic to and from El Charro Road, the City Council shall have the discretion to open the road to four lanes. Prior to doing so, the City shall evaluate traffic data, solicit community input and schedule a public hearing for review and consideration of the matter. C:nf.policystatementfinal 2
