___ Ms. McGovern said she would like to leave that as it is for future comparisons. She was concerned about using regional growth only to 2010, By the time this General Plan Update is approved, it will be 2006 and that will give only four years of prediction of what we can see. She asked how staff could deal with that to have a true ten-year prediction window? Mr. Iserson said staff was using regional traffic to 2010 for this exercise at this meeting. When talking about build out projections and conditions that will be expanded in the region as well. Ms. McGovern asked if that was to 20147 Mr. Iserson said staff was using 2025. Mr. Blank asked if staff could review the traffic from 4:30 p,m. to 6:30 p.m. instead of 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. He felt that was a more accurate picture. Mr. Knowles described how the data is taken to determine the peak period. From that information it has been determined that the peak period actually is 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. There are some exceptions near schools. Mr. Brozosky had questions regarding funding of improvements. He wanted to ---- know how much was set-aside for the West Las Positas interchange and if that money could be used for any other project? Brian Swift said there is no fixed sum set aside in a West Las Positas account. There are many conditions of approval for projects which require developers to pay their pro rata share of mitigation costs. Some are assigned to specific projects like West Las Positas, some say towards whatever altemative the Council should choose to implement. Mr. Brozosky asked staff to find which of those conditions could allow funding to be moved to other projects, instead of just the West Las Positas interchange, Regarding the Bernal and 1-680 project, he believed it is capped at $15 million. He asked what the actual cost to build the interchange would be? Mr, Swift responded that the assumption was that the cost would be $15 million. It is uncertain what improvements may be constructed for that interchange. Depending on what is ultimately decided upon will determine the cost. A little more than half of the $15 million is required for additional freeway lanes pursuant to CalTrans requirements. The CalTrans approval process takes about five years. He then described the proposed project as originally designed. _. Ms. Roberts believed that many of the Northern Pleasanton projects were required to fund the West Las Positas interchange or some other alternative selected by Council. She asked if no other alternative is selected, does the funding go away? Joint Workshop City Council and Planning Commission 6 03/22/05
