E. Section 5.2 will be amended as follows: Figures 5-2a and 5-2b illustrate existing and future bus transit routes including Wheels, RAPID transit and the County Connection. The Wheels bus system currently serves Pleasanton, Dublin and Livermore. There are 11 bus routes offering weekday commute, off-peak and Saturday service. The Contra Costa County Connection Bus Service provides a connection between Dublin and Contra Costa County and Pleasanton. A bus RAPID transit route will soon be implemented in the City which will provide rail-like service in the Tri-Valley area and connections to the BART stations. Figure 5-4a and 5-4b (Multi-Modal Map) illustrates all transit opportunities in the City including public transit, bicycling and pedestrian opportunities. Figure 5-4 identifies two Enhanced Pedestrian Areas in the City. These pedestrian areas are located within the Downtown Specific Plan Area and the Promenade located in Eastern Dublin. The Enhanced Pedestrian Areas are located where the City would like to encourage pedestrians to walk to their destination rather than using their car for all of their stops within the area. The purpose of the Enhanced Pedestrian Area designation is to ensure that development within the area is designed to encourage pedestrian trips. The Dublin/Pleasanton BART station located in the Transit Center in Eastern Dublin is operational. The West Dublin/Pleasanton BART station is currently under construction and located off of Golden Gate Drive. Bus service is provided to and from the existing BART station and is proposed at the West Dublin station. Bus service will connect residents to both stations and will provide connections from the stations to destinations in the City. The BART stations will serve as a transit hub in that they will provide connections for rail service and bus service and are accessible to pedestrians and bicyclists. Guiding Policies A. Support a downtown West Dublin BART station. B. Support improved local transit as essential to a quality urban environment, particularly for residents who do not drive. C. Support the development of a community that facilitates and encourages the use of local and regional transit systems. D. Encourage improvements in the Enhanced Pedestrian Area to improve the walkability of these areas. Page 5 of 6 Implementing Policies E. Urge BART cooperation in maintaining standards for review of public and private improvements in the vicinity of BART stations that take account of both future traffic needs and development opportunities. F. Encourage higher densities and mixed-use developments near major transit lines and transit transfer points as a means of encouraging the use of public transit. This type of transit-oriented development is especially encouraged along Central Parkway and near the east Dublin BART station. G. Capitalize on opportunities to connect into and enhance ridership on regional transit systems including BART, LAVTA, and any future light rail systems. H. Require developers in the Enhanced Pedestrian Areas to provide sidewalks, landscaping and safe connections from the building to the sidewalk to encourage pedestrian use within the area. F. Section 5.4, Bikeways, will be amended to include the following paragraph after the first paragraph in this Section as follows: The Bikeways Master Plan identifies a portion of Dublin Boulevard as a Study Area (the location of this area is shown on Figures 5-3a, 5-3b, 5-4a and 5-4b. The purpose of this Study Area is to identify the right-of--way needed to accommodate Class II bike lanes on Dublin Boulevard. If the resulting study shows that Class II bike lanes are infeasible and too costly, Class III bike routes will be considered in these areas PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 16a' day of June 2009, by the following vote: AYES: Councilmembers, Biddle, Hart, Hildenbrand, Scholz, and Mayor Sbranti NOES: None ABSENT: None ABSTAIN: None N Mayor ATTEST: ~~ v~~P Ulm( City Clerk Reso No. 84-09, Adopted 6-16-09, Item 6.1 Page 6 of 6
