Tri-Valley Transportation Council │ 2020 Nexus Fee Update Study August 2021 │ Final 28 As shown in Table 19, Project C-11 could add over 2,500 bicycle trips per day on the Iron Horse Trail by 2040 which will provide an alternative to congested vehicular travel as well as significant health and recreational value. Closing existing gaps in the trail will also encourage bicycle trips for other trip purposes beyond just commute trips, including school, commercial and recreational trips. Project C-11 improvements will result in additional secondary operational and safety benefits. Currently many at-grade crossings are located at intersections with high vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volumes which are regularly disrupted by conflicting at-grade operations given required traffic signal phasing. These improvements will help improve vehicular traffic operations by relocating pedestrian and bicycle traffic away from vehicular traffic helping to offset the transportation impacts associated with future development. These improvements will also provide safety benefits by reducing the potential for vehicle-bicycle and vehicle- pedestrian conflicts. Using the same methodology described in the previous section, a separate safety analysis was conducted to quantify the safety benefits of all the C-11 project. Table 20 summarizes the safety benefit for Project C-11.

Project C-4: Vasco Road & Dalton Avenue intersection Improvements, includes the addition of a traffic lane, signal optimization, and other improvements such as shoulder widening and roadway alignment to improve safety. Vasco Road is a major commute corridor connecting the City of Livermore and City of Brentwood. The intersection at Dalton Avenue provides access to the communities in the San Ramon Valley. With the planned and anticipated residential and industrial development along the corridor, this intersection is expected to have significant delays during the peak hours of commute. Project C-8: Santa Rita and I-580 Interchange, will construct a second southbound left turn lane from Santa Rita onto Pimilico Drive. The City of Pleasanton General Plan has identified this intersection to have a reduced Level of Service under build out conditions. 4.3.6 TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENTS There are two technology projects in List C. While Project C-10: Innovate 680 consist of multiple components including transit infrastructure and service improvements, roadway improvements, and technology enhancement, this project has been categorized as a technology improvement because TVTDF funding is being requested only for the Advance Technology component of the project. Other project components are expected to be funded through alternative sources. The Advance Technology component consist of implementing three technology-related strategies to improve operation along the I-680 corridor. Strategies include providing an enhanced 511 mobile app and implementing a shared autonomous vehicles (SAV) program to shift travel away from single occupant vehicles by providing travelers with better information about mode choice opportunities, resultant travel time, cost per trip, and the availability of
