going to have to be analyzed. There was no perfect solution. If a street were designed to carry arterial traffic, with sound walls, should not affect the yards that backed up to it. Ms. Ayala asked staff if it felt the traffic analysis that was done for this project worked? Mr. Swift said issues had been raised on cut-through traffic that needed to be addressed. The work that Chris Kinzel started was good but was not complete. Staff had not had time to review it. He said Councilmember Pico had raised questions that needed to be addressed. Mayor Tarver said he would like Council to look at the Tri-Valley model again because the two reports seemed to be different. Mr. Swift said staff used the expected land use. Traffic from this land use was much higher than the traffic from the current land use that was actually put in. Ms. Micheloff said that when the analysis was going on, she assumed that at the same time staff was puffing in future traffic models and mitigation. She asked staff if it had been able to do this? Mr. Swift said he felt the concerns of the Council was having an adequate interstate system for the future. If the model showed level of service F and the only mitigation shown were metering, then no one had examined the impact of ramp metering on how well the street system worked in Pleasanton. Ms. Ayala commented that Caltrans was putting in the metering mechanisms. Mr. Swift said Caltrans had put in the physical attributes necessary to start metering. Caltrans promised it would not turn those meters on until there was an agreement in place. There needed to be a meeting set up with Caltrans to discuss the metering and what needed to be done to start metering on 1-580 and 1-680. A substitute motion was made by Ms. Michelotti, seconded by Ms. Dennis to continue the item for two weeks to these address questions. Ms. Ayala said she would like to see a Caltrans report on the metering mechanisms. Mr. Pico said he had concerns about continuing the item. This would allow more public testimony to be heard on whether the EIR was adequate and he would like to take action on the original motion and then have a secondary motion after that. He would like to see a scoping meeting to discuss the issues that Council had brought up about the EIR. Ms. Ayala asked Mr. Pico how Council would get input on the EIR?
