Pleasanton. Staff has reviewed these specific trips that do not begin or end In Pleasanton and summarized the findings below. Cut -Through Traffic Staff reviewed the volume of cut-through traffic at build-out both with and without the Stoneridge Drive Extension at three key locations: Stoneridge Drive (west of EI Charro Road), Valley Avenue (west of Busch Road) and Stanley Boulevard (east of Santa Rita Road). Approximately 10 percent of the traffic on the Stoneridge Drive extension will be cut- through traffic. With the Stoneridge Drive extension, the percentage of cut through traffic on Valley Avenue or Stanley Boulevard does not change. The cut-through amount for Valley Avenue will be approximately 7.5 percent of the total volume. The cut through amount for Stanley Boulevard will be approximately 33 percent of the total volume (44 percent in the AM and 22 percent in the PM). There are reductions in total volumes on both Valley Avenue and Stanley Boulevard, and this results in a decrease in the number of cut-through vehicles and Pleasanton based vehicles. However, the proportion of cut-through trips stays relatively unchanged. CONCLUSION The discussion of data presented above appears to lead to five broad conclusions: . There is little difference in traffic volume and delay between the three land use plans. This is because although the land use plans show a different geographic distribution for the residential units, some differences in unit type, and some variation in commercial/industrial development in East Pleasanton, the differences in total trips for these plans is insignificant compared to the total trips in the City at build-out. . On a City-wide level, there is little difference in traffic volumes and delay between the Transit Oriented Development scenario using ITE trip generation rates and the Transit Oriented Development scenario using the reduced traffic generation rates, although differences at a site level may exist. Again, this is because the differences in trips between these two variations is insignificant compared to total trips in the City. . Construction of the Stoneridge Drive extension results in a redistribution of traffic flows and some relief on heavily traveled routes for all the land use options studied. It results in reduced delay at some critical intersections, and mitigation to acceptable levels of service can be achieved with fewer intersection improvements than without the Stoneridge Drive extension. . With the Stoneridge Drive extension, traffic increases several-fold on Stoneridge Drive east of EI Charro Road, compared to conditions without the extension. Page 9 of 10
