I-1 [XM0M TRANSPORTATION CONSULTANTS, INC. <br /> Scope of Services <br /> The purpose of this analysis is to estimate the impacts of the proposed development on key intersections <br /> in the vicinity of the site during the weekday AM and PM peak commute hours. Based on direction from <br /> the City, the following intersections will require study: <br /> 1. Foothill Road & 1-580 eastbound off-ramp <br /> 2. Foothill Road & 1-580 westbound off-ramp <br /> 3. Foothill Road & Dublin Canyon Road <br /> 4. Foothill Road & Stoneridge Drive <br /> 5. Stoneridge Drive&Springdale Avenue <br /> 6. Stoneridge Drive &Stoneridge Mall Road <br /> 7. Stoneridge Drive& 1-680 southbound off-ramp <br /> 8. Stoneridge Drive& 1-680 northbound off-ramp <br /> 9. Stoneridge Mall Road &Workday Way <br /> 10. Stoneridge Mall Road &Springdale Avenue (unsignalized) <br /> 11. East Project Driveway &Stoneridge Mall Road <br /> 12. South Project Driveway&Stoneridge Mall Road <br /> All study intersections will be evaluated based on level of service. City guidelines specify that level of <br /> service at all intersections be evaluated using Synchro software and HCM 2000 methodologies. <br /> Unsignalized study intersections will also be analyzed based on the peak-hour-volume traffic signal <br /> warrant. <br /> The tasks to be included in the analysis are: <br /> 1. Site Reconnaissance and Existing Observations. The physical characteristics of the site and the <br /> surrounding roadway network will be reviewed to identify existing roadway cross-sections, <br /> intersection lane configurations, traffic control devices, sight distances, and surrounding land uses. <br /> Existing traffic conditions will be observed in the field during the study periods in order to identify any <br /> operational deficiencies and to confirm the accuracy of calculated levels of service. <br /> 2. Data Collection. Existing AM and PM peak hour turning movement counts for the signalized <br /> intersections will be provided by the city. AM and PM peak counts will be conducted at the <br /> unsignalized intersection (two total 2-hour counts). These will include bicycle and pedestrian counts. <br /> Additional counts will require authorization and additional budget.All relevant background studies <br /> (such as the Bike Master Plan, Pedestrian Master Plan, etc.)will be obtained and reviewed. We will <br /> also consult with City staff if there are any specific plans that are applicable to the project. <br /> 3. Evaluation of Existing Conditions. The existing operations of the study intersections will be <br /> evaluated with a level of service analysis using current AM and PM peak-hour volumes. <br /> 4. Project Trip Estimates. Site-generated traffic will be estimated using the vehicular trip generation <br /> rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineers' manual entitled Trip Generation, 10"'Edition. The <br /> directional distribution of net site-generated traffic will be forecast based on existing travel patterns <br /> and complementary land uses. Project trips will be assigned to the roadway network based on the <br /> project trip distribution. <br /> 5. Evaluation of Background Conditions. Background traffic volumes will be obtained from the City of <br /> Pleasanton based on the City's Synchro model. Volumes at signalized intersections will be <br /> extrapolated to nearby unsignalized intersections, as needed. Background volumes will be checked <br /> 5776 Stoneridge Mall Road,Suite 175 • Pleasanton,California 94588 • phone 925.225.1439 • www.hextrans.com <br />
