-- Mr. Waller said the bottlenecks further to the north and south will constrain how much <br /> traffic can actually reach that segment. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico asked if the flyover going from southbound 1-680 to eastbound 1-580 will be <br /> backed up and northbound 1-680 to eastbound 1-580 will be backed up. <br /> <br /> Mr. Waller said any route to 1-580 will be somewhat congested, but it would be worse <br /> if the improvements were not there. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala wanted to clarify that the assumptions would work. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver asked if Highway 84 is four lanes or two lanes in the model by 2010 and <br /> when would the fly-over be finished. <br /> <br /> Mr. van Gelder said the model showed Highway 84 at four lanes and the fly-over would <br /> be finished by the year 2000. <br /> <br /> Mr. Waller said the information from Pleasanton's own model is available, which <br /> indicates how much traffic is Pleasanton traffic on these routes. This further constrains the value <br /> that can be called cut-through traffic. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver would like to see a study done for Stanley and First Street to determine <br /> the number of cars by license plates that are actually from Pleasanton. <br /> <br /> Mr. van Gelder suggested doing First Street, Sunol Boulevard, Stanley Boulevard and <br /> Stoneridge Drive. Also the City could try and research the State record system for major <br /> incidents that have blocked some lanes on the freeway. Then the traffic counts taken on these <br /> roadways could be compared to the times the freeways had major incidents. It would help <br /> determine whether the numbers go up or down during those times. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti asked if the Pleasanton traffic counts included the cut-through traffic. <br /> <br /> Mr. van Gelder said yes. It would be worth the effort to bring back an estimate of the <br /> cost to do the studies. <br /> <br /> Mr. Pico agreed further studies needed to be done. He disagreed with the figures. He <br /> felt more than 75 cars would avoid the 1-580/680 interchange. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti said if some of the traffic improvements are in place, then the cut-through <br /> traffic should decrease. <br /> <br /> Ms. Ayala asked if all the traffic models show the 1-580/680 at gridlock in 2010. <br /> <br /> Pleasanton City Council 10/21/97 <br /> Minutes 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
