ATTACHMENT 1 Pl&ftnton U80 THE CITY OF APR 12 2021 —.. rn rrr �e:r i i SUaicnli�' ` tors�ic� PLEASANTON © April 5,2021 Dr. David Haglund, Superintendent Pleasanton Unified School District 4665 Bernal Avenue Pleasanton, CA 94566 Dear Dr. Haglund, We appreciate the continued coordination with the Foothill High School Science Building Expansion and the accompanying off-site improvements that have been deemed necessary by the State Architect. It is my understanding that the review of the Science Building expansion by the State Architect identified the current clockwise operation of the Foothill High School Dropoff Loop as an unacceptable design and a reversal of the direction of the loop is necessary for the Science Building's design approval. This requirement was shared with the City in the Winter of 2019 and City and School District staff began working on possible modifications to the school site and the roadway to allow for the reversal of the drop-off loop without worsening the congestion on Foothill Road. Several alternatives were modeled by the City's On-Call Transportation consultant and a design option was selected that changes the north driveway from an entrance to an exit,closes the middle driveway and expands the southern driveway to allow both parents and students to enter (students may also exit at this southern driveway). With the combining of the parent vehicles and student vehicles, additional turn capacity,a second southbound left turn lane is needed.This reversal of the loop also requires significant modification to the existing traffic signal. The estimated cost for the second southbound left turn lane($1,000,000)and the traffic signal ($600,000)is a combined $1,600,000.The City has agreed to be a partner in the$1.6 million- dollar offsite improvement costs. The need for a second southbound tum lane is identified in the City's Transportation Impact Fee($600,000 included in the fee). In addition to the$600,000 the City has offered to contribute an additional $200,000 toward the project. In return,the School District has agreed to provide a$200,000 land credit for the upcoming improvements at Bernal and FirstlSunol.This separate project requires 5,400 square feet of School District property to complete an intersection improvement which is valued at approximately $200,000. In addition to the cost-sharing noted in the previous paragraph,the City is able to waive all planning document review fees. The project,however, is run through the State Architect's office and we do not collect and as a result, are unable to waive any third-party fees associated with the P. O.
