June 27, 2019 Page 2 of 3 for reasonableness and accuracy. Planned and funded transportation improvements will be included in the evaluation of background conditions. 6. Evaluation of Background plus Project Conditions. Project-generated traffic will be added to background traffic volumes to produce background plus project traffic volumes. Background plus project conditions will be evaluated and compared to background conditions to determine any near-term project impacts.Vehicle queues will be estimated for high demand movements where the project would add substantial traffic. Impacts to pedestrians, bikes and transit service will also be analyzed. 7. Evaluation of Cumulative Conditions (without the Project). Cumulative traffic volumes will be obtained from the City of Pleasanton based on the City's Synchro model. Volumes at signalized intersections will be extrapolated to nearby unsignalized intersections, as needed. Cumulative volumes will be checked for reasonableness and accuracy. Planned improvements to study locations will be included in the evaluation of cumulative conditions 8. Evaluation of Cumulative Conditions with the Project. Project-generated traffic will be added to cumulative traffic volumes to produce cumulative plus project traffic volumes. Cumulative conditions with the project will be evaluated relative to cumulative conditions(without the project)to determine any cumulative project impacts. 9. Site Access, Circulation and Parking.A site circulation and access review will be conducted to determine the adequacy of the proposed site plan in accordance with generally accepted traffic engineering standards. This will include a quantitative analysis of the anticipated traffic volumes at the site's access points on Stoneridge Mall Road, as well as a qualitative analysis of the internal circulation system and parking layout, such as aisle widths, and dead-end aisles. The analysis will consider the adequacy of the site plan for passenger vehicles, bikes, pedestrians, and delivery trucks. The two main access driveways on Stoneridge Mall Road will be evaluated for sight distance, queuing, spacing, and safety. A qualitative analysis will be performed to assess the effects of the project on the recirculation of traffic in the surface lot and travel ways adjacent to the site. The analysis will also reflect the impacts of future traffic flowing through the project site due to the retail/entertainment uses planned directly to the north. The proposed residential parking supply will be evaluated for compliance with city code. The analysis will also confirm that the project provides in the proposed garages on site a supply of commercial parking equal to or greater than the existing supply of commercial parking displaced by the project. 10. Description of Impacts and Recommendations. Based on the results of the level of service analysis, the site circulation, site access and parking reviews, and the evaluation of bicycles, pedestrians and transit, any project-related impacts will be identified and described. Recommendations will be formulated that identify the locations and types of improvements or modifications necessary to mitigate significant project impacts. 11. Reports&Meetings. Our methods, findings, and recommendations will be summarized in a report including text, tables, and graphics. Hexagon Transportation Consultants will respond to editorial comments, prepare a Final Report, and submit the number of copies requested. The fee estimate includes attendance at one meeting with project staff in connection with this project. Hexagon will attend additional meetings, if requested, on a time and expenses basis. This scope of work includes up to 4 hours of time to respond to CEQA comments. To complete the analysis, we require from the City of Pleasanton: • the latest existing, background (existing plus approved), and cumulative Synchro files for the AM and PM peak hours, • the traffic impact study that was completed for the planned retail/entertainment uses north of the site.
