83 Mr. Henry Hatten, 3963 Fairlands Drive, stated the Hopyard Road inter- change is one of the greatest messes in Pleasanton; he urged Council not to make the same mess out of Santa Rita Road. He felt all future development in C) North Pleasanton should be terminated until such time as the interchange can (ZXZ) be put in place at this intersection. {Y) Mr. Jim Miller, 3633 Camelot Court, feels the project should be held off ~ until the improvements at Santa Rita Road are completed and a proper traffic me[ study done. He stated that Council made a big mistake by approving the <X[ McDonalds; they should have listened to the surrounding property owners to not allow such a business at this location. Mr. Joe Staska, 3233 Gulfstream, stated the major concern is traffic at this intersection. An updated traffic survey is underway which should be com- pleted within four weeks. He urged Council to delay a decision on the pro- posed project until after review of the updated traffic study. He felt more direct intense pressure should be brought to bear upon Caltrans, the Federal Bureau of Highways, and local representatives to respond in a more timely man- ner to growing suburban scrawl {traffic congestion) in the valley. He pres- ented a rough draft from the citizens in northeast Pleasanton regarding Pleasanton traffic congestion as follows: "Resolved that the citizens of Pleasanton vote on a ballot measure placing a moratorium on all commercial and industrial development in the City of Pleasanton until the City, Hacienda Business Park, Cal Trans and the Federal Bureau of Highways finalize a master traffic plan which adequately manages projected traffic flow through the major freeway intersections {existing and proposed) on I680 and I580. The finalized traffic plan should, as a minimum standard, include the following: * a specific time table for completion by project {existing and pro- posed) should be established. * the Hopyard interchange should be completed. * a specific completion date for the Stoneridge interchange should be established. * the Hacienda interchange should have final approval and completion dates should be scheduled. * no further development surrounding the I580/Santa Rita Road inter- change should be permitted until the Santa Rita/I580 interchange is completed. * the I580/I680 interchange traffic flow should be reviewed, appropri- ate modifications approved and completion dates set. Further resolve that the commercial and industrial building moratorium would automatically be reinstituted should the completion dates as specified by project not be met. In addition, that the residents of Pleasanton vote (non binding) by ballot every five years on the master traffic plan." - 8 - 2-16-88
