City of Pleasanton ) STAFF 4U REPORT April 21, 1987 HONO~BLN MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL Pleasanton, California Zn~orsement of the Recommendations of the San Ramon Branohline/I-680 Corridor Transportation Study Mayor and Members of the Council: Background The study of the San Ramon Branchline/I-680 Corridor was initiated late in 1984 by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors to evaluate possible transit alternatives to help relieve future congestion in the 1-680 Corridor from Concord to Pleasanton. It does not include the Southern Pacific or Western Pacific right-of-ways through downtown Pleasanton. The County retained a consulting team headed by DMJM to conduct the study. · However, a steering committee was formed to guide the study with policy-level representatives of affected jurisdictions and agencies as well as private business interests. A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) was also formed. The City of Pleasanton was represented on the TAC by the Director of Public Works. Although completion of the study was' expected in early 1985, several factors effected changes to the study procedures and schedule. Paramount was the decision for this study and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission's 1-580/I-680 Corridor study to use a consistent data base and a new travel forecasting model developed by DKS Associates. This caused a delay in conducting analytical tasks but was a benefit in that consistent demographic assumptions about the Tri-Valley were applied to both studies. The draft final report was completed in January, 1987. Community meetings were held on the report April 7, 8 and 9th in San Ramon, Walnut Creek and Dublin respectively. Comments received will be presented to the Steering Committee and Board of Supervisors in June. SR87:169
