^ With the Iron Horse Trail coming to Valley Avenue from Santa Rita Road and children crossing Stanley Boulevard to go to the Shadow Cliffs location, an elevated pedestrian bridge should carry biking and pedestrians traffic across the widened Stanley Boulevard rather than having them cross a major arterial; ^ The Home Depot store still looks like a big box compared to the rest of the center. De- lete the arched doors and break up the huge blank mass in front; Staff needs to look into mitigation measures to address the traflc along the Valley Ave- nue and Santa Rita Road area such as taking out the train over crossing to widen the un- derpass on Valley Avenue. Look into traffic-calming measures for Valley Avenue - adopt some of the suggestions made by the community such as installing elevated speed limit signs and speed dots and moving stop signs back from crosswalks; ^ Define traffic routes for Home Depot commit to having their delivery trucks follow that route. Direct 18 wheelers away from Sunol Boulevard and First Street and limit delivery trucks for this project to major arterials such as Isabel Avenue and Stanley Boulevard and away from Valley Avenue and residential streets; ^ book carefully into the uses for the peripheral stores and limit the list to low traftlc- and parking-generating uses; ^ Evaluate the traffic scenario where the existing store on Johnson Drive closes down and see what it does to the traffic at this location and how many vehicles would be coming from the west side of town down Valley Avenue to get to Home Depot; and, ^ Condition the coffee place pad to preclude any fast food restaurants or a vending mecha- nism for grills at that location.
