F. Concentrated Residential/TOD Land Use Plan with Stoneridge Drive extension The results of traffic modeling are presented several different ways: . Level of Service calculations are shown for critical intersections (LOS 0, E and F) for each land use plan both without and with Stoneridge Drive Extension for the a.m. and p.m. peak hour. These tables enable the reader to see the impacts of the road extension for each land use scenario. . Volumes of traffic are shown in map and numeric form to enable a comparison of traffic volumes and how they are distributed City-wide both without and with the Stoneridge Drive extension and for the three land use scenarios. . Traffic flow diagrams showing changes in traffic flow without and with the Stoneridge Drive extension. . A discussion of cut-through trips with and without the Stoneridge Drive extension. Each of the above are described below. Level of Service (LOS) Comparisons The following is a comparison of level of service (LOS) at critical intersections for the three land use scenarios both with and without the Stoneridge Drive extension. The information summarized below is derived from information included in Attachments 3 through 8. It is important to note that the following LOS measures are based on the improvements included in the "working draft" circulation network and that most of the intersections with an LOS of E or F as noted below can be further improved with additional mitigation to operate at an LOS 0 or better. In a few cases (at Hopyard Road and Owens Drive and the east-bound off-ramp to Santa Rita) the mitigations, including widening and elimination of landscaping, may be inconsistent with the desired visual and pedestrian character, as was discussed in the previous workshop. Some of the intersections operating below a LOS 0 are in the Downtown area and are exempt from the General Plan standard; these intersections are not counted in the paragraphs below. . For the Consensus Preferred Land Use Plan without the Stoneridge Drive extension, a total of 9 intersections failed to meet the City's Level of Service standard. With the Stoneridge Drive extension there are also 9 intersections that fail to meet the level of service standard. In addition, the 1-580 east-bound off-ramp to Santa Rita Road is improved from F to D. The T-intersection with a stop sign on the minor leg at West Las Positas at Coronado dropped from A to F. While the number of intersections failing to meet the level of service standard remained the same with and without the Stoneridge Drive extension, the length of delay and level of improvements needed to mitigate the intersections decreased. As an example: the intersection of Valley and Santa Rita continued Page 4 of 10
