Further widening which would be contrary to City of Pleasanton’s <br />other multimodal policies and goals cannot be applied at this intersection. <br />• Intersection 28: Stanley Boulevard/El Charro Road – The addition of project generated <br />traffic to Cumulative baseline conditions would result in this intersection degrading to <br />LOS E during the AM peak hour under Cumulative Plus Project Conditions. However, this <br />intersection is an exempted gateway intersection. Signal timing optimization and/or <br />adjustments would not achieve an acceptable level of intersection operations. Further <br />widening which would be contrary to City of Pleasanton’s other multimodal policies and <br />goals cannot be applied at this intersection. <br />Conclusions <br />The results of this transportation assessment indicate that operations of most critical intersections <br />surrounding the Housing Element Update Project sites would not appreciably change with the <br />addition of project generated traffic. The intersections that would deteriorate and fall below the <br />City of Pleasanton’s LOS standard with the Project either have feasible mitigations to improve <br />their operations or have been identified as exempt intersections in the City of Pleasanton’s <br />General Plan. However, conditions at several critical intersections would deteriorate below the <br />city’s standards and not be mitigatable, particularly in the Cumulative scenario. <br />The following intersections would experience an increase in delay of approximately 10 seconds <br />with the inclusion of Project traffic under at least one of the scenarios analyzed. <br />- 3 Foothill Road/Dublin Canyon Road/Canyon Way <br />- 8 Stoneridge Drive/Stoneridge Mall Road <br />- 13 Santa Rita Road/Stoneridge Drive <br />- 23 Santa Rita Road/Old Santa Rita Road/Pickens Lane <br />- 24 Santa Rita Road/Valley Avenue <br />- 26 Valley Avenue/Busch Road <br />- 28 Stanley Boulevard/El Charro Road <br />- 30 Sunol Boulevard/Valley Avenue/Junipero Street <br />At many locations the increase in delay does not alter the total intersection LOS to an <br />unacceptable level. Additionally, the addition of project traffic would accelerate the need to make <br />intersection improvements identified in the City’s Traffic Impact Fee Program. <br />With the addition of traffic associated with the Housing Element sites to existing traffic levels, four <br />study intersections would operate below the city’s LOS standards. These conditions could be <br />remedied through signal timing changes, the implementation of TIF improvements and traffic <br />signalization.
