constrained input to 1-580, he would like to have a model of where traffic is going, when the intersection is constrained. How many go to Dublin Boulevard, take Stanley, and how many will assume Stoneridge extension is going through. He felt if Stoneridge extension is removed, he believed the level of service at Pimlico would change significantly. Ms. Roberts referred to the intersection at Stanley/Bernal/Valley. At build out, it is projected to be at LOS C, with the completion of El Charro, Stoneridge, and West Las Positas. At present it is far higher than LOS C. Ms. Hosterman felt staff should move forward with the model presented. She felt everyone's concerns would be addressed. Mr. Swift proceeded with the staff report. There was discussion regarding verification of actual trip data and how it was done. Ms. Fox inquired if cut through traffic were added to the 3,550, what would be the number, assuming some roads were extended to Jack London parallel to 1-580 to Vasco Road. Would it triple or double? Mr. Swift said that number is available, but he would have to find it for her. Mr. Knowles said it was about a 25% increase. At build out, not only are freeways congested, but local routes are congested as well. Mr. Blank asked if that 25% took into consideration the General Plans for Livermore and Dublin? Mr. Swift said the model included the complete build out of Livermore's current General Plan as well as East Dublin and Dougherty. Ms. McGovern felt the staff report was indicating the General Plan Circulation Element does not work. She wanted to hear the points why it doesn't work and felt questions could be asked after that. Mr. Swift said it doesn't work with the assumed land use with the assumed network leaving the policy for Level of Service D in place. If some of the street widenings are taken away, chances are it will make other street intersections worse. The simplest way to look at it is to say what is the widening or extension all about, who benefits by it, who would use it, if it were there, and all the other things were there, and then go back to square one and start with existing plus approved and add combinations of things to see how things can be modified to reach a point of comfort. It is not a question of what works, if is what can we be satisfied with. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is satisfied with traffic downtown, it doesn't mean that is what Pleasanton residents would accept. Ms. McGovern felt people are looking for a certain level in the community. What is in the General Plan does not work. Ms. Hosterman said that is the purpose of the next five or six workshops.
