THE CITY OF ATTACHMENT 6 Item 6B r X11 t �u ..I..I pa TN pLEASANTONo MEMORANDUM Date: June 26, 2006 To: Trails Ad Hoc Committee From: Fan Ventura, Management Analyst Subject: Iron Horse Trail North (Santa Rita Road to BART Station — Discussion of Potential and Preferred Alignments Installation of the Iron Horse Trail between Santa Rita Road and Mohr Avenue is in progress, with the section from Busch Road expected to commence in July. The question now becomes "Given all the potential constraints, what is the best and /or most expedient alignment to get trail users from the BART station to the segment at Santa Rita Road ?" There appear to be three (3) options under consideration. Please keep in mind that although the trail travels through Pleasanton, it would still be an East Bay Regional Park District trail. Option 1 - Currently Proposed Alignment: The future alignment shown on EBRPD maps is as follows: • Begin at Dublin - Pleasanton BART Station. Proceed southeast, through the parking lot, to the traffic signal on Owens Drive. • Cross Owens Drive at the traffic signal to the south side of the street. • Proceed east /southeast on Owens Drive for approximately .88 miles, to West Las Positas Boulevard. • Turn right onto West Las Positas (the north side of the road). • Proceed west on West Las Positas Boulevard for approximately .25 miles to Stoneridge Drive. • Cross to the south side of Stoneridge Drive, turn left, crossing the street again to reach the southwest corner of the intersection. • Proceed east on Stoneridge Drive for approximately .44 miles to Santa Rita Road. • Cross the street to the cast side of Santa Rita Road. • Turn right and head south on Santa Rita Road for approximately .15 miles to the entrance of the Iron Horse Trail on the left side, near the Public Storage facility. Option 2 — Alternate Alignment Proposed by the Trails Ad Hoc Committee: In October 2005, the Iron Horse Trail Subcommittee presented a proposal for an alternate alignment, detailed below: • Begin at Dublin- Pleasanton BART Station. Proceed southeast, through the parking lot, to the traffic signal on Owens Drive. • Cross Owens Drive at the traffic signal to the south side of street. • Proceed east /southeast on Owens Drive for approximately .69 miles.
