-- through traffic increase. With the completion of the 1-580/680 fly-over, the extension of Stoneridge, and completion of Isabel between Stanley and Livermore, it will help reduce cut-through traffic. Mr. Pico asked if the completion of Highway 84 was considered. Mr. Waller said not by the year 2000, but the estimates for 2010 included Highway 84. Mayor Tarver asked if the 100 trips that the report showed is the traffic trying to avoid First Street. Mr. van Gelder said yes. Ms. Michelotti asked if the report showed the same proportion in the year 2000. Mayor Tarver asked about the figures for the Sunol Boulevard, Bernal Avenue and First Street loop. The report showed 100 to 150 during the p.m. peak hour with only 50 during the a.m. peak hour. Why are the figures not equal? Ms. Dennis felt traffic was much more congested in the evening than in the morning. Mr. Waller said the model matched her perception. Basically there is more traffic on the roadways in the evening. Mr. Pico said every single projection for the Tri-Valley transportation model he has looked has showed 1-580/680 would be gridlocked by the year 2010. He disagreed with the figures. He felt traffic will try to avoid the 1-580/680 interchange. Mr. van Gelder said the model showed 1-580/680 to Highway 84 was operating at a decent level of service, with Highway 84 to the south operating at a terrible level of service. Ms. Michelotti said at buildout with Highway 84 completed it would help with some of the cut-through traffic. In 2010 the base model showed traffic operating fai~y well. Mr. van Gelder said it showed 1-580 congested with reasonable levels of service on 1-680. Mr. Waller said if the flyover is completed, then 1-680 south would operate okay. The section parallel to Foothill continues to operate acceptably. Ms. Ayala asked what would help solve the backup on 1-680 to the south. Pleasanton City Council 10/21/97 Minutes 10
