SUMMARY OF AMA OR VALLE LA OE PARKWAY RAFFIC STUDY
I . Purposes
A. To define the future street and lane requirements for Amador
Valley Boulevard.
B. To resolve traffic access issues along Amador Valley Boulevard.
-C. To determine signalization requirements at intersections along
Amador Valley Boulevard.

along Amador Valley Boulevard.' ',
F. To defin and ecommend shorterm'^ and' long 'term "improvement
projects for Amador Valley Boulevard.
II . Recommendations
A. Street Width
1 . West of Village Parkway, from San Ramon Road to Village
Parkway, the lane pattern should remain as four lanes divided
with separate left-turn lanes at intersections.
B. Intersection Configuration
1 . At San Ramon Road, the intersection should be widened to
provide a two-way access on the west leg . and to provide a
westbound free right-turn lane. A through lane, a left-turn
lane and a free right-turn lane are recommended for the
eastbound approach.
2 . At Amador Plaza Road, the storage length of the westbound
left-turn lane should be increased to 300 feet. Also, it is
recommended that the median nose setback on the west leg of
the intersection be increased.
3 . At Village Parkway, it is recommended that an eastbound
right-turn lane be added by restriping the existing pavement.
This improvement will necessitate relocating a short segment
of the existing eastbound bike lane west of Village Parkway.
The storage lengths of the eastbound and westbound left-turn
lanes should be increased. In addition, a dual left-turn
lane is recommended for the northbound approach.
C . Access
The closing of the median opening east of Amador Plaza Road is
recommended due to the required lengthening of the westbound
left-turn lane east of the Amador Plaza Road intersection .
Because of the required lengthening of the eastbound left-turn
lane at the Village Parkway intersection, the closing of the
median opening approximately 200 feet west of the intersection is
also recommended.
