A concurrent Cost Sharing Agreement between Livermore, Pleasanton, and the Alameda County Surplus Property Authority executed in September 2007 specifies that the El Charro Road improvements will be paid for by Livermore and the ACSPA, while Livermore and Pleasanton will contribute to the cost of the El Charro Road interchange improvements, including any change orders required to make the transition to the new, widened El Charro Road improvements. Both the Cost Sharing and Cooperation Agreements contain provisions which permit the ACSPA to take over construction of the El Charro Road improvements if they haven't been constructed by Livermore prior to annexation by Pleasanton. However, it is currently anticipated that Livermore will begin construction of the El Charro Road improvements in early 2009. Livermore's El Charro Specific Plan also includes the extension of a regional trail from Isabel Avenue to El Charro Road along the Arroyo Las Positas. This would be a potential future connection with trails in Pleasanton along the Arroyo Mocho. C. Staples Ranch Roadway Improvements Figure IV -3 illustrates Staples Ranch circulation. The Auto Mall site and Retail/Commercial site adjacent to El Charro Road, as well as the eastem portion of the Community Park site, will be accessed by a new four lane divided road with turn lanes constructed off El Charro Road, identified on the site plans as Auto Mall Place, as illustrated in the conceptual cross section in Figure IV -4. Auto Mall Place would have a signalized intersection at the entrances to the Auto Mall and Retail/Commercial sites. Access to the Community Park site from the east will utilize a short extension of Auto Mall Place beyond the planned intersection. Access to the Continuing Care Community, Neighborhood Park, and the westem portion of the Community Park sites would be via a two lane extension, with turn lanes, of Stoneridge Drive from its current eastern terminus at Trevor Parkway south of the Arroyo Mocho. A new two lane curving bridge would be constructed over the Arroyo Mocho channel. Stoneridge Drive would terminate approximately 800 feet north of the Arroyo, with a two lane public road, with turn lanes, providing access to the Neighborhood Park and the northern portion of the Continuing Care Community. The Community Park site to the south, would have direct access to the extension of Stoneridge Drive. Although the Community Park could be accessed from both Auto Mall Place and Stoneridge Drive, the Park's interior circulation would be designed to prohibit vehicles (except emergency vehicles) from traveling from Stoneridge Drive to Auto Mall Place. The two lane Stoneridge Drive extension, including the Arroyo Mocho bridge, would be designed and sufficient right of way reserved to allow Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment/Staples Ranch Draft October, 2008 37
