users of it. Without the widening / extension to E1Charro, traffic would move to the Stanley - Valley route and / or El Charro - Stoneridge, depending on the connections at E1 Charro. Alternative street patterns which do not create the straight-forward link from Valley to E1 Charro have been discussed. These include: · blocking through traffic on Busch just easterly of the Transfer Station · "replacing" Busch Road's link to E1 Charro with an extension of Boulder Street and putting industrial traffic onto the new street, not Busch. The various options for connecting or not coimecting Valley to E1 Charro (using Busch Road or other streets) are best judged in conjunction with review of land use options in the East Side area. Foothill Road Widening Foothill Road would become six lanes from 1-580 to Stoneridge, four lanes from Muirwood (S) to Stoneridge, and be widened to add left-turn lanes from Muirwood (S) to Castlewood. The model predicts minor shifts of traffic from Hopyard and Stoneridge, with additional traffic shifted off of local collectors as a result of this widening. Regional cut-through traffic would likely increase marginally. Special consideration for traffic at Foothill High School is justified based on peak volumes and safety considerations. The model indicated that this widening would reduce overall travel times and vehicle miles traveled on City streets. Hopyard Road Widening Hopyard Road would become a full four lanes from Valley to Del Valle Parkway. Total traffic volumes can be accommodated by the high capacity two lane, with turn lane, configuration presently in existence. The widening has no significant impact on shifting traffic, driving times, or vehicle miles traveled. Vineyard Aveune Widening Vineyard would be restriped/widened to four lanes from Bernal easterly to about Clara Lane (just easterly of Montevino Drive.) This section serves primarily the Ruby Hill and Vineyard corridor areas while providing arterial access to the Vintage Hills neighborhoods. The model predicts that this widening would reduce trips on local collectors in the Vintage Hills area and reduce cut-through traffic on Tawny - Touriga. The model also notes the potential afternoon regional cut- through traffic potential for eastbound Vineyard, depending on the attractiveness of Stanley Blvd. and other eastbound routes.
