(b) Effects of Plan Policies and Remaining Impacts: The Plan includes multiple policies and implementing actions that would seek to minimize congestion in the transportation network through a series of efforts to reduce single occupancy vehicle trips, improve circulation throughout Downtown Pleasanton, and promote walking,biking,and transit trips as viable transportation options.Nevertheless, even with Plan policies and implementing actions, impacts at the above stated intersections would be significant. (c) Rationale and Conclusion: The EIR includes the following Mitigation Measures to alleviate the significant impacts noted above: • TRA-1:Division Street/Hopyard Road at Del Valle Parkway:Install traffic signal. • TRA-2:Peters Avenue at St. Mary Street: Stripe a northbound and southbound left-turn pocket at the intersection to mitigate the impact in the existing and near-term. To mitigate the cumulative impact,the City would signalize the intersection,in addition to the restriping identified as an existing and near-term mitigation. Development in the planning area should contribute a fair share towards this improvement. This improvement is not in the TIF. Should this improvement be added to the TIF,payment of the City's TIF would constitute a fair share payment. The potential for restriping should be evaluated against the proposed Plan to provide a cycle track on Peters Avenue. If there is not sufficient right-of-way to provide left-turn pockets and a cycle track, then the existing and near-term mitigation is to signalize the intersection. • TRA-3: Bernal Avenue at Main Street: Signalize the intersection and modify the eastbound and southbound left-turn pockets to accommodate the projected vehicle queues. • TRA-4:First Street at Ray Street/Vineyard Avenue:Retime traffic signal. • TRA-5:First Street at Neal Street:Retime traffic signal and extend the eastbound left-turn by 30 feet. • TRA-6:Case Avenue/Old Bernal Avenue at Bernal Avenue:Extend the length of the eastbound left- turn pocket to provide 275 feet of vehicle storage. • TRA-7:Bernal Avenue at Main Street:Implement Mitigation Measure TRA-3, which would provide the appropriate left-turn storage when the intersection is signalized. • TRA-8: Sunol Boulevard at Valley Avenue/Junipero Street: Retime traffic signal either extent the northbound left-turn pocket to 300-feet or construct a second northbound left-turn land and associated receiving lane. With the implementation of these Mitigation Measures,impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level. (Draft EIR,pp.3.12-38 to 3.12-54.) Impact 3.12-6: Implementation of the Plan would conflict with adopted policies, plans, or programs regarding public transit,bicycle,or pedestrian facilities,or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities. (a) Facts in Support of Finding:Bicycle facilities proposed under the Plan are not consistent with the bicycle facilities contemplated for the downtown area in the City of Pleasanton's Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. (b) Effect of Plan Policies and Remaining Impacts: The Plan is centered on a complete-streets approach,which would improve the performance and safety of transit,bicycle,and transit facilities in the 15 fic would increase the eastbound left-turn queue by more than 25 feet during both peak hours. • Intersection 21 - Sunol Boulevard at Valley Avenue/Junipero Street: In the cumulative condition, the addition of Plan traffic would result in vehicle queues that extend beyond the available storage of the northbound left-turn lane in the AM peak hour. 14 cer hazard index exceeds 1.0, the applicant will be required to identify and demonstrate that mitigation measures are capable of reducing potential cancer and non-cancer risks to an acceptable level(i.e.,below ten in one million or a hazard index of 1.0), including appropriate enforcement mechanisms.Measures to reduce risk may include but are not limited to: - Air intakes located away from high volume roadways and/or truck loading zones. - Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems of the buildings provided with appropriately sized maximum efficiency rating value(MERV)filters. 13
