DRAFT 3. Circulation Element truck-climbing lanes through Pigeon Pass near I-680 as well as widen the northern section to four lanes. Pleasanton supports the widening of State Route 84 from two to four lanes between I-680 and I-580. This improvement will alleviate cut-through traffic in Pleasanton and congestion on I-580. Local Roadway Network Table 3-1, above, lists Aarterials serving the Pleasanton Planning Area. Seven of the arterials provide access to the freeway system via an interchange. Five of these interchanges are fully signalized. See Figure 3-2 for the locations of all signalized and future signalized intersections. , > > ., ,] 1~..,.1 .. In addition to the interchanges, access to and from the City of Pleasanton circulation network can be gained from eight arterials providing a system with multiple and distributed access points. Vehicles use this network of arterials to access the collector streets which provide access to homes and businesses on the local street network. Existing Roadway Standards The City of Pleasanton has adopted numerous roadway standards and requirements to protect the safety and welfare of its citizens. Public streets within the city limits are constructed and maintained to City standards.} Most City streets feature at least 11~-foot=wide travel lanes, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks. Where traffic conditions warrant and sufficient rights-of--way exists, the City installs traffic signals, stop signs, pedestrian crosswalks, and bicycle lanes. Exceptions to City standards include older streets which were built prior to modern road standards; and streets where the °° ---'-~~'- rights-of--way are insufficient for roadway improvements, Pleasanton also has standards for Wig-acceptable levels of traffic congestion ~~1 ;~~....,,....~~~,. ~..~..:a.. ~c ~~... ,~~__.~~~._.~ ........within the city.
