CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA RESOLUTION NO. 92-177 RESOLUTION OF INTEREST IN TOLL ROAD WHEREAS, WHEREAS, the completion of a State Highway 84 as a freeway-type facility is a needed integral part of the Tri-Valley regional transportation system; and the twenty million dollars of Measure "B" money is inadequate to build even the portion of State Highway 84 between Vallecitos Road and 1-580; and WHEREAS, WHEREAS, the existing State Highway 84 is inadequate and dangerous; and the critical interchange of 1-580/I-680 will become grossly overloaded without the construction of an adequate freeway connection on Highway 84 between 1-680 and 1-580; and WHEREAS, WHEREAS, the State of California has enacted legislation permitting public and 'private partnerships in the development of the State Highway System; and this legislation has resulted in the award of a conditional development franchise to undertake environmental studies for State Route 84; and WHEREAS, subject to the completion and certification of environmental studies, the California Toll Road Company, (CTRC), has the authority to undertake finance, design, construct, lease-back, and operate the transportation facility as a toll revenue demonstration project to recover its investment; and WHEREAS, WHEREAS, WHEREAS, the economic well-being of the Tri-Valley Planning Area is dependent upon the efficient movement of people and goods; and California Toll Road Company has proposed an alternative which may allow local access without toll; and there are no funded, or anticipated, plans at the federal, State, or local level to construct State Route 84 between 1-680 and 1-580; and WHEREAS, the majority of the State Highway Route between 1-680 and 1-580 lies within the boundaries of Pleasanton's Sphere of Influence; and WHEREAS, the cost of such needed improvements that serve regional and through traffic should not fall disproportionately on the residents and businesses of the city of Pleasanton, the Tri-Valley residents or Alameda County through the imposition of local taxes, fees, or assessments.
