SUNOL BOULEVARD/I-680 IMPROVEMENTS PA&ED congestion occurs for longer than two hours in the morning and afternoon peak periods. Fehr & Peers will collect new local street intersection turning movement counts (including pedestrian, bicycle and heavy truck counts) for the five identified study intersections. The intersection turning movement counts will be collected for the 5:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM peak periods. The turning movement counts Demand volumes will be estimated for congested peak periods. 2.1.3 Data Collection Processing. Fehr&Peers shall compile the collected data and evaluate for reasonableness. 2.1.4 Existing Conditions Analysis. Fehr & Peers, as part of the I-680 Express Lane, developed a micro-simulation model covering northbound I-680 between SR 237 and Alcosta Boulevard and southbound I-680 between Alcosta Boulevard and Sheridan Road. This model is being used to deliver the Traffic Operation Analysis Report (or TOAR) to Alameda CTC for the 1-680 Express Lanes project and was constructed in a way to facilitate quick testing of project alternatives. Fehr & Peers will modify the 1-680 Express Lanes micro-simulation model and update the inputs for use on this project. Based on the compiled data Fehr&Peers shall prepare the existing conditions technical analysis including building and executing AM and PM peak period VISSIM micro- simulation models for 1-680 between 1-580 and Andrade Road and the Sunol Boulevard corridor between Castlewood Drive and Arlington Drive. The VISSIM models will be calibrated and validated to existing traffic conditions within Caltrans-accepted tolerances for traffic operations models. Existing pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities will be qualitatively assessed; these modes will also be incorporated, as appropriate, into the operations models. In addition, recent mainline, ramp and local street collision data will be reviewed and summarized in the report. 2.1.5 Existing Conditions Memo A draft Existing Conditions Report will be prepared that summarizes the data collection procedures and results, the field observations, the LOS, speed, density, and queuing characteristics resulting from the VISSIM analysis, as well as the validation statistics of the calibrated model. System-wide measures of effectiveness such as vehicle hours of delay, volume served, and vehicle miles of travel will also be established. The draft existing conditions report will be submitted for City of Pleasanton and Caltrans review; based on one round of agency comments the report will be finalized. Comments and responses will be documented in a comment resolution matrix and any unresolved comments after the first round of review will be incorporated into the draft TOAR. The Existing Conditions report will be focused on the mainline and intersection analysis performed using the VISSIM model. Fehr & Peers will participate in one Traffic Focus meeting with the project team and Caltrans as part of this task. Subtask 2.2 Traffic Forecasts—Traffic Forecasting Development Fehr & Peers will prepare a memorandum comparing the Alameda CTC, Dublin, and Pleasanton travel demand models and make a recommendation regarding model use for this study.For scoping and costing purposes,the recommendation is assumed to be to use the most current available travel demand model from Alameda CTC to establish traffic Apri110,2020 6
