~50~ ~7
Traffic Engineer Jaimee Bourgeois presented the Staff Report and advised that the Policy
Statement created a regional framework for the construction of local arterial roadways and
support for regional improvements. The document described a policy approach for relieving
traffic congestion in the Tri-Valley by prioritizing improvements to I-580, I-680 and State Route
84, and requiring the phased completion of a regional arterial network that included Dublin
Boulevard in the City of Dublin, Jack London Boulevard in the City of Livermore, and North
Canyons Parkway in the City of Livermore and Alameda County, and Stoneridge Drive in the
City of Pleasanton. This item sought City Council adoption of a Resolution approving the Policy
Statement.
Vm. Hildenbrand asked if a future City Council of Pleasanton could renege on this agreement.
City Manager Pattillo stated there were some triggers with the County and the City of
Pleasanton in regard to this policy statement. The City of Pleasanton City Council was voting
unanimously in favor of this Policy Statement. Being a policy statement, this was not a binding
agreement. Alameda County was very vested in this agreement. It was a positive step forward.

Transportation Council was now moving forward. This Policy Statement had a regional benefit.
