Consider "favoring" roadways serving freeway access over parallel-freeway roadways in signal timing/delay. As described above, such measures may prove counter-productive. Neighborhood Cut-Through Traffic The traffic model is generally not fine-grained enough to identify neighborhood cut- through routes or quantify them; nevertheless, the following neighborhood cut-through routes have been identified: · Tawny-Touriga, for afternoon cut-through (NB to EB); · Junipero-Independence, both directions mornings and afternoons; · Mohr/Morganfield-Kolln, for afternoons (SB to EB); · Mohr-Greenwood, for morning cnt-through (SB to WB). · Black Ave between Hopyard and Santa Rita. This route is the most heavily traveled purely residential collector street, but its school, park, and businesses makes segregating through traffic in the model infeasible. · Muirwood (South). This route carries considerable school traffic whereas West Las Positas-Foothill is an equivalent arterial route. · Pleasanton-W. Angela/St. Mary. These streets are projected to carry regional cut-through traffic avoiding the First St.-Bernal Ave. congestion in both momings and evenings. Other routes which do not show up as cut-through routes, but either have in the past or could be so used, include: · Laurel Creek Dr., between Dublin Canyon and Foothill; · Muirwood-Springdale, between West Las Positas and Stoneridge; · Denker-Dorman, between Stoneridge and West Las Positas; · E. Angela, between First and Bemal; · Kottinger, between First and Bernal; Newton-Dennis in lieu of Stoneridge - Guzman · West Las Positas-Fairlands-Brockton-Pimlico in lieu of Santa Rita from West Las Positas to 1-580. While current General Plan policies concerning neighborhood cut-through traffic are limited, the City has pro-actively worked to minimize it. However, the most prevalent issue has typically been the neighborhood traffic itself, with speed a bigger issue than volumes. The City has closed streets (e.g. Secretariat), not opened streets (e.g. Kolln), made streets one-way (e.g. Sauterne), restricted turn movements at intersecting streets (e.g. Mirador), installed traffic circles (e.g. Kamp) installed multiple stop signs (e.g. Muirwood), and investigated speed humps (Crellin) and other speed control measures. As the number of measures listed above shows, there is no one "right" solution to neighborhood cut- through. The implementation of the City's traffic calming program measures which would force neighborhood residents to use new routes (closures, turn restrictions) have not been 18
