The addition of project generated traffic to EPAP baseline conditions would <br />result in increased average delay at this intersection while in LOS F operations. Under <br />EPAP Plus Project Plus Extension Conditions, this intersection would improve to LOS E <br />during the PM peak hour. This is an exempt intersection with LOS below the City of <br />Pleasanton standard, and there are no reasonable mitigation measures for this <br />intersection. <br />• Intersection 24: Santa Rita Road/Valley Avenue – This intersection would operate at LOS F <br />during the PM peak hour under EPAP baseline and EPAP Plus Project conditions. The <br />addition of project generated traffic to EPAP baseline conditions would result in increased <br />average delay at this intersection while in LOS F operations. Under EPAP Plus Project <br />conditions, operations at this intersection can be improved to an average delay of 78 <br />seconds per vehicle, decreasing delay from EPAP baseline conditions, by optimizing the <br />traffic signal timing to adjust for changes in project generated traffic. Under EPAP Plus <br />Project Plus Extension Conditions, this intersection would improve to LOS E during the <br />PM peak hour. <br /> <br />Cumulative (Year 2040) Conditions <br />The Cumulative condition represents conditions in the 2040 horizon year, consistent with the City <br />of Pleasanton travel demand model. To evaluate the potential effect of traffic generated by the <br />proposed project on the surrounding street system, volume estimates representing Cumulative <br />without Project Conditions were prepared. Traffic conditions without the project under this future <br />scenario reflect traffic increases due to nearby and regional development along with background <br />roadway network changes and street improvements. The forecasted Cumulative without Project <br />Conditions traffic volumes were then used as the baseline to identify the project’s effects on the <br />operations of the circulation system. This chapter presents the results of the level of service <br />calculations under Cumulative Conditions both with and without the Project. <br />Cumulative (Year 2040) Circulation System Effects <br />This subsection identifies the cumulative, long-term effects, of the addition of project generated <br />peak hour trips on the operations of the local circulation system. Traffic volumes for Cumulative <br />Conditions are comprised of Existing Conditions volumes plus traffic generated by anticipated <br />local and regional land use growth. Cumulative conditions were forecast using the City of <br />Pleasanton’s travel demand model and reflect buildout of the city’s General Plan and the general <br />plans of surrounding communities.
