albeit slightly. Traffic and other transportation related issues could be adversely affected with Option 3, depending on which subalternatives were chosen for certain areas. The City Council finds that Option 3 alternative is less desirable than the Project, and rejects this Option for the following reasons: 1. Depending on which subalternative were chosen in the Vineyard Avenue Corridor, certain intersections in the City would experience unacceptable operations. For example, under several of the subalternatives in the Vineyard Avenue Corridors, one intersection (Santa Rita Road/Valley Avenue, intersection 329) would experience unacceptable operations, and two others (Stanley Boulevard at Valley Avenue and at El Charro Road, intersections 371 and 379) would be very high LOS D, meaning that only a slight increase in levels of development would result in unacceptable LOS. Subalternative 5, the highest development alternative, would have adverse transportation impacts, and Subalternatives 4, 6, and 7 would be very close, Similarly, depending on which subalternative were chosen in South Pleasanton, circulation routes could be inadequate resulting in adverse impacts. For example, the subalternative which would add the largest number of units to that area would add significant new traffic on the Happy Valley loop, currently a low volume circulation route. Because there is no alternative or supplemental circulation route proposed with that subalternative, there would be an adverse transportation impact on the Happy Valley loop. 2. This Option would have environmental impacts which are equal to or greater than the Project, and this Option would not substantially reduce any significant environmental effects of the Project.
