It was moved by Ms. Hosterman, seconded by Mr. Brozosky, to adopt Resolution No. 03-032, activating the Eastbound 1-580 On Ramp Metering System during the evening peak commute hours in conjunction with the opening of the new eastbound auxiliary lane between Santa Rita Road and El Charro Road adjacent to the City of Pleasanton. Ms. Hosterman said she supports this because the City has the ability to adjust this metering. Mr. Campbell said he would also support this and he appreciated Captain Bell attending tonight's meeting lending his perspective and Ms. Ayala's questions about the City's other choices in trying to make the freeways work. Mr. Brozosky asked how long would Caitrans have to respond to the possibility of a City request to turn the lights to all green? Mr. Roush said there were reasonable standards built into the agreement and it would not require a specific timeframe to respond. This would be a process that would not continue forever. Mr. Knowles said Caltrans would expect they also have an opportunity to still keep the freeway flowing and accommodate the City needs. It is only when this does not work will we then request that the lights be turned to all green. How long this process would take is not known. Ms. McKeehan thought one month would be a reasonable time. Councilmembers agreed to modify the motion to include a one month response time for any change/modification in the metering timing. The roll call vote was as follows: AYES: Councilmembers Brozosky, Hosterman, and Vice Mayor Campbell NOES: Counciimember Ayala ABSENT: Mayor Pico ABSTAIN: None Ms. Ayala thanked the Caiifomia Highway Patrol and Caltrans for the agreement made and wished everyone success in this contract.
