PHASE II CIRCULATION SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS Due to the extensive circulation system improvements that were constructed in conjunction with Phase I development, a relatively limited extent of improvements will be necessary to accommodate future Phase II Area development. Phase II improvements will include widening Bernal Avenue along its southern edge through the eastern portion ofthe Phase II Planning Area to accommodate a six-foot wide bicycle lane, a new collector street connecting Pleasanton Avenue at Bernal Avenue south to Valley Avenue, traffic roundabouts, bus stops, trails and trail heads, a potential pedestrian tunnel under 1-680, and a potential park-and-ride commuter parking lot. Policy guidance relating to these facilities is provided below. TRANSPORTATION OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND GUIDELINES Circulation Svstem Coordination TO ESTABLISH A COORDINATED SYSTEM OF PHASE I AND II STREETS THAT PROVIDES CONVENIENT TRAFFIC CIRCULATION AND IS INVITING AND SAFE FOR PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS. Circulation System Policy 1: Consistency Between Land Use and Circulation. Locate and design street improvements and as shown on Figure 5-1 (Circulation Diagram) to be consistent with the needs oftraffic generated by both Phases I and II. Guidelines: 1.1 Use the street network and available capacities disclosed in the Bernal Property Phase II Specific Plan EIR when planning development to ensure that circulation facilities remain adequate. 1.2 Provide street improvements as described in this Specific Plan to maintain an acceptable level of service at all Bernal Property intersections and roadway segments as proj ects develop. Planned improvements as set forth in this Specific Plan will support traffic generated within the Planning Area at LOS "D" or better. Timely construction of these improvements will ensure there will be no interim LOS "E" or worse congestion.) Circulation System Policy 2: On-Site Street Standards. Design and improve the new Pleasanton Avenue section to a different standard than typical City requirements for a collector street in an attempt to reduce or eliminate the functional and visual dominance of the street. Guidelines: 2.1 Design Pleasanton Avenue consistent with the roadway section standards shown on Figure 5-2 (Pleasanton Avenue Section Diagram).
