In response to the July 2008 LAFCo threat, the city provided a copy of four tables that analyzed traffic congestion with and without the SDE. These tables had also been provided in the DEI in response to other comments. The only intersection in Pleasanton that improves with the SDE is Hopyard & stoneride. During peak periods, all others get worse, most with an "F "; the Io remains an "F" Santa Rita & stoneride is in all cases an "F", and the delay is worse than Valley & stoneride. These levels certainly don't comply with the "statement of Overriding Considerations" found in Exhibit D, page 29, Item 6, which states that adoption of the Ice Center Alternative will achieve the community goal of providing "convenient vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian access to and through the staples Ranch site in substantial conformance with the General Plan without adversely affecting existing residential neighborhoods in the city". I think a delay level of "F is an adverse affect and should be noted. During a May 2007 City Council meeting, in response to the TTTC bullying tactics of removing SR84 from consideration by the CMA* the City council agreed to put together a strongly worded resolution defining Pleasanton expectations of regional and local roadway improvements that need to happen prior to, and in conjunction with, opening stonerid a Dr. to /from the 580/680. 1 don't remember seeing that resolution, and anyway, do not believe the Council majority would have actually signed off on it. Now, it's probably a moot point. it is, however, just one more commitment than will undoubtedly be set aside by the Council majority. Given the six million dollar babe and threats from Supervisor Haggerty and the organizations hers associated with, I have no doubt that constructing the SDE in conjunction with the staples Ranch project will be approved by the Council majority. It won't matter that with a peak period delay level of "F'r on all three routes between Pleasanton and Livermore,, there will still be no route than will bypass 1580 congestion in case of emergency. It won't matter that traffic circulation in Pleasanton is negatively impacted, or than air quality is degraded and air emissions are above the BAAID thresholds. so go ahem. Make your decision, and take the bribe. However, given supervisor Haggerty's proclivity for setting aside agreements,, you might want to male the extension of stoneridge Dr. contingent on receipt of the money prior to starting construction.
