assumptions according to feedback from the City Council, and will run the model with the build-out land use assumptions of the "preferred plan" selected by the City Council on April 25, 2006. Staff anticipates the results of this preliminary analysis will be available in October 2006, at which time the Planning Commission and City Council may consider further adjustments to the circulation network and future land use, in order to achieve desired results. "WORKING DRAFT" CIRCULATION NETWORK The City Council selected Alternative B as outlined in Attachment 2 as the "working draft" circulation network. This alternative includes all the network changes and improvements listed under Alternative A, as well as the changes listed under B on pages 3 through the top of page 5 in Attachment 2. Attachment 2 (included for information purposes) shows (in redline) several recommended refinements to the "working draft" circulation network. These refinements are proposed by staff based on several factors, including: . Staffs understanding of the desired community character where the network change would provide only minimal traffic flow improvement . Comments made by the City Council regarding specific roadway extensions and widenings . Decisions already made by the City Council regarding network improvements . Updated information regarding planned regional roadway improvements . Recent or imminent construction of some roadway improvements and network changes . The recognition that some capacity enhancements are within the County's jurisdiction and are not currently on County plans The major recommended refinements to the roadway network concerning street extensions and widenings are shown on Exhibit A (Attachment 2) and include: . Revision of CaITrans highway improvement plans which now show the addition of an HOV (High Occupancy Vehicle) lane on north 680 from Milpitas to SR 84, and an eastbound HOV lane on 1580 from Hacienda Drive. . The elimination of the Rose A venue extension from the model since the property needed to complete the extension to Valley Avenue is held by the County and is not available. . The deletion from the model of planned widening of two sections of Bernal Avenue (between SunollFirst Street and Independence Drive and between Angela Street and Nevada Street). Widening the street in these locations would provide minimal improvement in traffic flow, but would result in the loss of a bike lane and parking in some locations, and would detract from the residential character of the street, especially for those residences facing Bernal. . The deletion of widening of Foothill Road between Stoneridge Drive and Muirwood Drive South to four lanes. This stretch of Foothill Road is currently two lanes with left SR 06:204 Page 2 of5
