signal at this intersection when signal warrants are met. Existing traffic counts now show that the state and federal warrants for a traffic signal are met. Sunol Boulevard at Castlewood Drive Mitigation - Construct new traffic signal In all Year 2025 scenarios, the flow of traffic along Sunol Boulevard becomes so continuous, that not enough gaps are available for drivers on Castlewood Drive to turn left towards downtown Pleasanton. The 2-V2 minute delay per vehicle on Castlewood Drive creates LOS F conditions at the intersection. 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. Installing a 3-way stop would significantly reduce delay for these Pleasanton residents, but in future years, it may back-up traffic through the Sunol Boulevard at 1-680 southbound intersection. The state and federal warrants for installing a 3-way stop are currently met by 116%. It is recommended that a 3-way stop be initially installed to reduce delay for Pleasanton residents. It is also 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 in the future if traffic does indeed backup into the 1-680 interchange. Building a traffic signal here would further reduce delay for Pleasanton residents, and can provide a means of metering inbound cut-through traffic using the more heavily traveled Pleasanton-Sunol Road. Sunol Boulevard at 1-680 Northbound Ramps Mitigation Construct new traffic signal In all Year 2025 scenarios, the flow of traffic along Sunol Boulevard becomes so continuous, that not enough gaps are available for drivers coming offofthe northbound 1-680 off-ramp. This increases traffic risks for all drivers at the intersection as off-ramp traffic tries to force its way across Sunol Boulevard through inadequate gaps in 45 MPH traffic. This is a gateway into the City and is used by existing and future cut-through traffic. But about 1/3 of the off-ramp traffic is local resident traffic. Building a traffic signal here would increase traffic safety at the intersection, and would reduce delay for Pleasanton residents. Cut-through traffic will be delayed downstream at Sunol Boulevard and Sycamore Road and at Bernal Avenue. The 1996 General Plan shows this intersection as a future traffic signal location. Sunol Boulevard at 1-680 Southbound Ramps Mitigation - Construct new traffic signal In all Year 2025 scenarios, the flow of traffic along Sunol Boulevard becomes so continuous, that not enough gaps are available for drivers coming offofthe southbound 1-680 off-ramp. This increases traffic risks for all drivers at the intersection as off-ramp traffic tries to force its way across Sunol Boulevard through inadequate gaps in 45 MPH traffic. This is a gateway into the City and is used by existing and future cut-through traffic. But most of the off-ramp traffic is local resident and employee traffic. Installing a 3-way stop here would increase traffic safety at the intersection, and would control cut-through traffic volumes. However, by the Year 2025 forecast show that a traffic signal would be necessary to avoid LOS F conditions. Cut-through 13
