3. Santa Rita Road at Vallev Avenue widenine for triple southbound and double <br />westbound left turns: <br />Yote: 4-1 <br />Yes: Commissioners, Blanc Fox, Olson, and Pearce. <br />No: Commissioner Arkin. <br />4. Santa Rita Road at Black Avenue - nrohibit traffic from exitine the Santa Rita <br />frontage road onnosite Black Avenue. Reroute this traffic to the new sienal at <br />Francisco Street. Eliminate the north crosswalk at the intersection. <br />Commissioner Pearce requested Mr. Tassano to clarify this item before the Commission <br />took a vote. <br />Mr. Tassano explained that the modeling is based on the anticipation that the level of <br />service at Santa Rita Road and Black Avenue would begin to fail in the peak hours due to <br />the inability of the east-west left-turn movements to go simultaneously, which results in <br />the number of left turns coming out of the school and the post office going towards Santa <br />Rita Road becoming too great to keep the levels of service at acceptable levels. He added <br />that a possible mitigation to improve that level of service would be to prohibit those left <br />turns and move that entire movement up to Francisco Street, which would be signalized <br />for pedestrian safety. <br />Commissioner Fox inquired why this was not included in the 1996 General Plan <br />intersection improvements. <br />Mr. Tassano replied that this would be a modification in looking at how travel patterns <br />have changed since the 1996 General Plan and what new improvements aze necessazy to <br />maintain the level of service. <br />Commissioner Fox commented that someone who picks up a student from Alisal School <br />and then heads south to Pleasanton Middle School would not be able to exit on Santa Rita <br />Road at Black Avenue but would have to take the side street up to Francisco Street, <br />where they will need to turn left to go back through the Black Avenue/Santa Rita Road <br />intersection and head south to Pleasanton Middle School. <br />Mr. Tassano clarified that anyone who wanted to go south from Alisal School would not <br />have to go out on Francisco Street but would just have to turn left out of the driveway and <br />go south on the frontage road and come out on Silver Street near Amador High School. <br />He stated that a better example would be someone who wanted to go across to Black <br />Avenue from Alisal School would need to go up to Francisco Street, then make a U-Turn <br />and turn right on Black Avenue. <br />Commissioner Fox noted that there is no pick-up and drop-off from the back side of <br />Alisal School because of Valley Business Park. She added that students coming from <br />~ Busch Avenue would have to go to Santa Rita Road because Ko11n Street is blocked on <br />Valley Avenue. Mr. Tassano confirmed Commissioner Fox's observation. <br />I <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, July 26, 2006 Page 7 of 24 <br />
