Stoneridge Drive at 1-680 Northbound Off-ramp <br />Mitigation - Minor traffic signal upgrade <br />Upgrading the traffic signal to allow northbound right turn traffic to move concurrently with westbound <br />through traffic for an adjustable period of time would make this signal more efficient and thus reduces <br />delay significantly for local traffic. <br /> <br />Stoneridge Drive at Springdale Avenue <br />Mitigation - Upgrade traffic signal and restripe Springdale Avenue. <br />The existing signal operations for Springdale Avenue are very inefficient and reduce green time along <br />Stoneridge Drive. Without the West Las Positas Interchange, this is one of the few gateways into the <br />residential tract south of Stoneridge Drive and west of 1-680. Restriping the northbound and southbound <br />approaches to allow north/south traffic to flow concurrently, and removing the east crosswalk would <br />reduce overall delay at the intersection, and increase green time on Stoneridge Drive, including the <br />westbound left turn into the residential area. The time it takes a pedestrian to cross Stoneridge Drive in <br />the east crosswalk, directly conflicts with the heavy southbound left turn movement coming out of the <br />mall area. Shifting these pedestrians to the west crosswalk allows them to cross Stoneridge Drive <br />concurrently with the heavy southbound left turn movement, thus freeing up green time for other <br />residents. <br /> <br />Stoneridge Drive at West Las Positas Boulevard <br />Mitigation - Convert the #3 northeast bound through lane into a right turn only lane. <br />In Alternative C, there is a significant increase in traffic turning right from eastbound West Las Positas <br />Boulevard onto Stoneridge Drive to access the Stoneridge Drive Extension. Congestion and delay is <br />significantly reduced by restriping the #3 eastbound through lane as a right turn only lane. <br /> <br />Stoneridge Mall Road at Deodar Way <br />Mitigation - Construct new traffic signal and add 2nd northbound left turn <br />In all Year 2025 scenarios, the flow of traffic along Stoneridge Mall Road approaches the capacity of the <br />stop sign controls at this intersection, resulting in LOS E conditions on Stoneridge Mall Road. Stop sign <br />controls have far less capacity than traffic signal control. This was recently demonstrated at Vineyard <br />Avenue at Montevino Drive where traffic backups were eliminated when the signal replaced the <br />previous 4-way stop. Installing a traffic signal and restriping the # 1 northbound through lane as a <br />second left turn lane reduces delay at this intersection by about 75%. This should help to draw some <br />traffic off of Canyon Way, and thus help reduce congestion at the intersection of Foothill Road and <br />Canyon Way. It is recommended that this intersection be included in the list of future traffic signals so <br />that it can be included in developer traffic impact fee calculations for construction in the future when <br />needed. <br /> <br />Stoneridge Mall Road at Embarcadero Court <br />Mitigation - Construct new traffic signal <br />In all Year 2025 scenarios, the flow of traffic along Stoneridge Mall Road exceeds the capacity of the <br />stop sign controls at this intersection, resulting in LOS F conditions on Stoneridge Mall Road. Stop sign <br />controls have far less capacity than traffic signal control. This was recently demonstrated at Vineyard <br />Avenue at Montevino Drive where traffic backups were eliminated when the signal replaced the <br />previous 4-way stop.
