DRAFT 3. Circulation Element resulting in the uncongested Llevels of service in Pleasanton today. Figure 3-10 shows existing and buildout configurations at major intersections. New improvements identified on Table 3-8 and shown on Figure 3-10 must be installed to address existing congestion and to ensure that future development does not result in increased congestion.~g ~nnzvv~-ivio- Projects with the most immediate need are shown on Table 3-8 to be constructed before 2010. Projects without an identified funding source or development plans are shown to be constructed beyond 2010. The policies and programs of the City support the installation and financing of these improvements by developers of new projects as these are built. However, if development is allowed to proceed in an area without these improvements, congestion is likely to occur beyond City standards. ~~e-C~e€ s Table 3-8~ summarizes the intersection and roadway lane ~ provements required to support full development of the Planning Axea. Unlike the list of regional projects identified in the Triangle Studv. relatively few new roadwavs need to be constructed in Pleasanton. Stoneridge Drive extension, Busch Road, and El Charro Road are the three remaining segments of roadway that are not vet constructed. All three roadwavs are significant and necessary Harts of Pleasanton's local circulation s sy tem. An emergency vehicle accesswav linking Stoneridge Drive to El Charro Road will serve emergenc access needs for the development of Staples Ranch until such time as the Stoneridge Drive extension is constructed. The timetable for construction of the Stoneridge Drive extension will depend on reaching an agreement with Pleasanton's regional partners -Livermore, Dublin, and Alameda County = for a strategic approach and funding~lan for relieving traffic congestion in the Tri-Valley. That plan will include improvements to I-580} I-680, and SR 84, as well as completion of a regional arterial network that includes Dublin Boulevard, ~ack London Boulevard, Portola Avenue, and Stoneridge Drive.
