Restriping eastbound Dublin Canyon Road to provide a triple left turn and a through/right turn option lane will provide LOS C and D conditions in the Year 2025. The 1996 General Plan assumed Foothill Road would be widened to provide four northbound through lanes, but this would not provide LOS D or better condition with current traffic model forecasts. Another option is to eliminate the southbound left turn completely, and have this traffic instead turn left at Deodar Way, which is a much less congested "T' intersection. This would provide LOS D or better conditions at both intersections, and help reduce the existing weaving problem between the eastbound 1- 580 offramp and canyon Way. However, it is assumed that the mall and other businesses would oppose this option. Foothill Road at Castlewood Drive Mitigation - Construct new speed sensitive traffic signal and westbound left turn pocket In all Year 2025 scenarios, the traffic volume northbound and westbound exceeds that capacity of the existing 4-way stop at this intersection. Constructing a traffic signal some time in the future would significantly increase capacity at this intersection and reduce delay for nearby residents. Due to the heavy westbound left turn volume, a short left turn pocket would need to be constructed between Foothill Road and the bridge over Arroyo De La Laguna. This is a gateway into the City and is used by existing and future cut-through traffic. But it is also along one of the few routes residents in southwest Pleasanton have to access the rest of Pleasanton. It is recommended that this intersection be included in the list of future traffic signals so that it can be included in developer traffic impact fee calculations for construction at some future time. Foothill Road at Deodar Way Mitigation - Widen/restripe Foothill Road for 3 southbound lanes and eliminate the crosswalk crossing Foothill Road The 1996 General Plan assumes three lanes southbound on Foothill Road between I-580 and Stoneridge Drive. The Year 2025 scenarios that include some of the 1996 General Plan road widenings assume that there are three continuous southbound lanes on Foothill Road approaching this intersection. There is an existing crosswalk at this intersection crossing Foothill Road on the south leg of the intersection. There is no sidewalk, pedestrian path, but stop, housing or other destination a pedestrian needs to access along the west side of Foothill Road near this intersection. However, the traffic signal must be programmed to accommodate a pedestrian crossing Foothill Road as long as this crosswalk exists. This pedestrian crossing time far exceeds the amount of green time needed by vehicles exiting Deodar Way. This needlessly complicates coordinating this signal with the other signals along Foothill Road, and takes green time away from other residents driving through the intersection. Removing the crosswalk would reduce delay and improve signal coordination along Foothill Road. Foothill Road at Highland Oaks Drive Mitigation - Widen Foothill Road to 4 lanes The 1996 General Plan includes the widening of Foothill Road to 4 lanes between Stoneridge Drive and Muirwood Drive South.
