Tri-Valley Transportation Council │ 2020 Nexus Fee Update Study <br />August 2021 │ Final 19 <br /> <br /> <br />3 IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND COST ESTIMATES <br />This chapter presents the 38 improvement projects included as part of the 2020 Nexus Updates. <br />3.1 IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS <br />There are 38 improvement projects that the TVTC has included in the Tri-Valley Transportation <br />Development Fee (TVTDF) for the 2020 Nexus Study. Of those projects, 15 projects exist in the current <br />TVTDF and 23 that are to be considered as part of this nexus update study. <br />3.1.1 CURRENT PROJECT LIST <br />Current projects are divided into two lists. The first list, List A, includes 7 projects that were included in the <br />original program adopted in 1995. The second list, List B, includes 8 projects that were included in the 2008 <br />Nexus Study. <br />Out of the 27 existing projects, 10 projects have been completed and are no longer considered for further <br />funding. In addition, two projects (B-9 Danville Boulevard/Stone Valley Road I-680 Intersection and B-11a <br />I-680 HOV Direct Access Ramps) have been removed from the project list and are no longer being <br />considered for funding (for a total of 12 projects removed from the prior lists). The remaining projects have <br />not been fully completed. Table 13 summaries the projects in List A and B along with their total project <br />costs and their remaining unfunded cost. Detailed description of projects in Lists A and B are provided in <br />Appendix A. <br />3.1.2 NEW SELECTED PROJECT LIST <br />With almost half of the current project list completed and no longer receiving funding, TVTC reviewed and <br />selected additional projects to be considered for receiving funding from the TVTDF. This selection process <br />involved a comprehensive planning process to develop a project list that mitigates the impacts of new <br />development based on feasibility and stakeholder support. From this process, 23 additional projects (List <br />C) were identified to receive funding from the TVTDF. List C projects, along with their total project costs <br />and their remaining unfunded costs are listed in Table 14. Detailed descriptions of projects in List C are <br />provided in Appendix B. <br />3.2 UNFUNDED COST <br />Tables 13 and 14 presents total project cost and their remaining unfunded cost. The total investment for <br />projects eligible to receive TVTDF funding is estimated to be $4.470 billion, where $3.677 billion is <br />unfunded. An additional reduction was applied to account for external “cut-though” trips on roadway <br />congestion projects. Future development within the Tri-Valley area is not responsible to pay for these trips <br />since these trips are caused by growth outside of the Tri-Valley area. This reduces the total unfunded <br />cost to be covered by the maximum TVTDF to $2.928 billion. Note that this does not change the overall <br />project costs. <br />The funded amount includes the current TVTDF amount currently allocated toward projects as well as <br />additional federal, state, regional, or local funding sources.
