CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: August 5, 1997
SUBJECT:
Request from City of Pleasanton to Support the Retention
of the Stoneridge Drive On-Ramps to Eastbound I-580
Report prepared by: Lee S. Thompson, Public Works Director
EXHIBITS ATTACHED:
1) Letter to Caltrans
2) Letter from City of Pleasanton Councilmember Kay Ayala
RECOMMENDATION: ~ Review letter to Caltrans, modify if necessary, and authorize Mayor
to sign.
FIN.4.N CIAL STATEMENT: None.
DESCRIPTION: The City of Pleasanton has sent a letter requesting the City of
Dublin's support in retaining the Stoneridge Drive on-ramp connections to eastbound 1-580 for future
flyover improvements at the 1-580/1-680 interchange. These on-ramps are crucial for traffic exiting
Stoneridge Mall to obtain access to 1-580.
The Cil3' of Pleasanton previously entered into a freeway agreement w/th Caltrans that would allow
Caltrans to close the Stoneridge Drive on-ramps to access 1-580 as part of the Caltrans 1-580/I-680
Flyover projects. The on- and off-ramps from south ofi-680 will not be affected. Caltrans maintains that
re;'~:ining the Stoneridge Drive/1-580 on-ramps could cause a safety problem because of the short
distance to the 1-580/I-680 imerchange.
If these ramps are closed, traffic exiting the mall bound for 1-580 would most likely use the Foothill
Road/I-580 interchange Or travel farther east on Stoneridge Drive to Hopyard Road, Hacienda or Santa
Rim Road in order to access 1-580. The City. of Dublin could also expect an increase in traffic exiting
the Mall and using Dublin Boulevard to travel easterly to the 1-580 on-ramps at Hopyard/Dougherty,
Hacienda Drive, or Tassajara/Santa Rim should the freeway be backed up.
Staffhas contacted and discussed this issue with both Caltrans and the Ci~, of Pleasanton, and is of the
opinion that Dublin should support Pleasanton in requesting that these on-ramps remain open to 1-580.
Staffhas prepared a letter to Caltrans (E ~xhibit 1) requesting that the retention of the Stoneridge Drive
on-ramps be considered during the environmental study for the future 1-580/I-680 Flyover Project.

SUBJECT: Stoneridge Drive Ramp Connections to 1-580
Dear Mr. Pang'
The City of Dublin received a letter from the City of Pleasanton informing us of the possibility
that Caltrans will close access from the Stoneridge Drive ramp connection to 1-580 as part of
future 1-580/I-680 Flyover projects. It is our understanding that the existing Freeway Agreement
between Pleasanton and Caltrans requires these closures.
Considering the volume of traffic generated by Stoneridge Mall, the closure of the Stoneridge
Drive ramps to 1-580 will create a hardship for drivers exiting the Mall. This, in turn will place
undue stress on surrounding routes, including the 1-580 interchanges at Dougherty Road and at
San Ramon Road, as well as on the City of Dublin's street system if the freeway is congested.
For this reason, the City of Dublin would urge Caltrans to reconsider the future closure of these
ramps. We are requesting that this issue be revisited in any environmental study for future
flyover projects.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter. If you have any questions or need further
information, please contact Mehran Sepehri, Sr. Civil Engineer, in the Public Works
Department, at (510) 833-6630.

Dear Guy:
Subject: Dublin-Pleasanton Liaison Committee Meeting
I very much enjoyed our recent Liaison Committee meeting in Dublin. Thank you for
forwarding the additional information on the progress of the Measure B project.
As I indicated to you, the Council again approved the i-580/I-680 flyover and the
funding plan to advance our portion of the local match. We expect as Dublin expects to
receive reimbursement from any adopted Td-Valley transportation fee. I have enclosed
a copy of our staff report for your information.
As a part of our approval, the Council continued to indicate our displeasure with
Caltrans' refusal to amend our freeway agreement relating to Stoneridge Drive. This
bdngs me to the favor I am requesting from Dublin. We would like you to show your
support for Pleasanton by sending a letter to Caltrans asking that they reconsider our
request to retain our full Stoneridge Drive interchange. I hope you can support our
request.
Sincerely,
Kay Ayala

SUBJECT:
Freeway Agreement and Local Match for the 1-580/680 Direct
Connector Flyover Project
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council take the following actions
at the meeting of June 17, 1997:
Con_firm Pleasanton's share of the remaining local match,
and authorize the City Manager to execute the attached
Local Match Agreement
Direct staff to work with Caltrans and the Alameda County
Tr~mportarion Authority to implement the 1-580/680
Flyover Project, but continue to seek oppommities with
Caltrans to modify the Stoneridge Drive Freeway
Agreement to retain access with 1-580
SU3'IMARY: The Alameda County Transportation Authority is see'kJng the
City's approval of the Local Match Agreement for the 1-580/680 Flyover Project. The
City Council had earlier approved commitment of Pleasanton's share of the remaining
local match for the current flyover Project; however the City had also sought a
modification of Freeway Agreements to seek retention of access with 1-580 and
Stoneridge Drive with potential furore flyover projects. Bemuse Caltrans feels this
issue was addressed when the Stoneridge Drive Interchange was approved, Caltrans is
unwilling to modify Freeway Agreements but indicates that 1-580 access will be
readdressed when future major improvements to the 1-580/680 Interchange are
programmed.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council:
BACKGROUND
At its meeting of September 24, 1996, the City Council approved the attached Freeway
Agreement (Exhibit A) for the 1-580/680 Flyover Project, subject to modifications
which address access impacts to the Stoneridge Drive Interchange from future flyovers.
This modification was requested (Exhibit B) because the current Freeway Agreement
for the Stoneridge Interchange dated May 17, 1988 between Calrrans and Pleasanton
states,
'6. It is understood between the parties
interchange pattern is modified, all access
Interchange and 1-580 will be removed."
that when the 1-580/1-680
between Stoneridge Drive
The modification being requested was the following:
~6. It is .understood between, the parties that when the 1-580/1-680
interchange pattern is modified, the maintenance of access to St0neridge
Drive may prove difficult due to safety and operational constraints.
Nonetheless, Caltrans will make every effort to maintain access between
1-580 and the Stoneridge Drive Interchange."
Subsequently, Caltrans withdrew the proposed Freeway Agreement, indicating that it
was not needed because the currently proposed 1-580/680 South to East Flyover Project
does not add or delete freeway access, or modify any major local street access (i.e.
converting a local through street to a cul-de-sac).
After a series of written appeals, and a meeting with Caltrans staff, Caltrans offered the
attached letter as their final response (Exhibit D). In this letter, they reaffirm their
unwillingness to modify the Stoneridge Drive Interchange Freeway Agreement as
requested, but indicate that 1-580 access will be re-addressed when future major
improvements to the 1-580/680 Interchange are programmed.
SR¢/97:184 Page 2
Local Match Agreement
At its meeting of September 24, 1996, the City Council approved commitment of
Pleasanton's share of the remaining local match required for the 1-580/680 Flyover
Project, and authorized staff to develop a payment schedule w/th the Alameda Coun~
Transportation Authority that satisfies overall project needs and funding availability.
0Exlfibit E)
The attached Local Match Agreement 0Extfibit F) reflects the local match amount
previously approved by Council, including credits for work previously performed
which benefited the Flyover Project. ACTA has agreed to postpone actual payment
until the last two years of the current Measure B program in 2000 and 2001.
DISCUSSION
In 1988, when the Stoneridge Drive Interchange was proposed, Caltrans was concerned
about the short distance between the Stoneridge Drive Interchange and the 1-580/680
Interchange. In order to get Caltrans approval for the Stoneridge Drive Interchange,
Caltrans required that the City agree "that when the 1-580/1-680 interchange pattern is
modified, all access between Stoneridge Drive Interchange and 1-580 will be removed."
This reflected the belief that when the west to south, or east to south flyovers were ever
constructed, the distance between the Stoneridge Drive Interchange and the 1-580/680
Interchange would preclude maintenance of access with 1-580.
However, recent experience with the present south to east flyover and the preservation
of Hopyard Road access indicates that it may be possible to retain access with 1-580 and
Stoneridge Drive with future flyovers. Although it was not easy to accomplish,
throuvqh sig~n~ficant effort by Caltrans, ACTA, and the Federal Highway
Adrn~istrafion, Hopyard Road access was maintained with 1-680 under similar distance
constraints.
For this reason, the Council requested that Caltrans modify the Stoneridge Drive
Interchange Freeway Agreement to allow retention of access with 1-580, and for
Caltrnn.~ to "make every effort to maintain access between 1-580 and the Stoneridge
Drive Interchange."
While acknowledging the City's request for further review of this issue, Caltrans is
unwilling to modify the formal Stoneridge freeway agreement. In their view, the
current Freeway Agreement reflects the agreement made with the City at the time the
Stoneridge Drive Interchange was approved, and they feel the requested modification
SR:97:184 Page 3
5
creates an obligation that is unreasonable. Caltrans adds that further improvements to
the 1-580/680 Interchange are not identified in any federal, sate, or local programming
document, and is therefore many years away at best; and that when future flyovers may
be programmed 1-580 access would be re-addressed as par~ of studies of local
cLrculation and socio-economic impacts required under the environmental process.
While staff regrets Caltrans position, given the uncertain timeframe of future
modifications to the 1-580/680 Interchange (beyond the current south to east flyover),
staff believes it appropriate to accept Calrrans determination for now, but to continue to
seek opportunities with Caltrans to modify the Stoneridge Drive Freeway Agreement to
retain access with 1-580. (For example, there m~y be some oppornmity for review and
further discussion with Calrrans as part of the West Las Positas Interchange study.)
Further, given the importance of the current 1-580/680 South to East Flyover Project to
the region, staff recommends that the City continue to support efforts to implement the
current Flyover Project and address project specific impacts to Pleasanton.
Consequently, staff is recommending that the Local Match Agreement be approved.
RECOM34~NDATION
Staff recommends that the Council:
Confixm Pleasanton's share of the remaining local match, and authorize
the City Manager to execute the attached Local Match Agreement
Direct staff to work with Calumas and the Alameda County Transportation
Authority to implement the 1-5801680 Flyover Project, but continue to
seek oppornmities with Calwans to modify the Stoneridge Drive Freeway
Agreement to retain access with 1-580
FISCAL IMPACT
The Local Match A~eement obligates Pleasanton to a remaining "fair share" amount of
$1,133,584, to be paid in years 2000 and 2001. This amount has been programmed
into the 5 year CI]:' using gas tax funds.
SR:97:184 Page 4
The Tri-Valley Transportation Council is working to develop a Subregional
Transportation Development Fee. One of the projects being considered is the local
match amount for the 1-580/680 Flyover Project; thus if adopted, the Fee could
provide reimbursement to the gas tax fund.

Dear Mr. Pang:
Freeway Agreement for the 1-580/I-680 Interchange
At its meeting of September 24, 1996, :the Pteasanton City Council reviewed the subject
Freeway Agreement, and unanimously approved the Agreement subject to the following
modification relative to the Stoneddge Ddve Interchange.
The Freeway Agreement for the Stonefidge Drive Interchange dated May 17, 1988
between Caltrans and Pleasanton states,
"6.
It is understood between the parties that when the 1-580/I-680
interchange pattern is modified, ali access between Stoneddge
Drive Interchange and !-580 will be removed."
The Pleasanton City Council approved the Agreement with the following modification:
"6. It is understood between the parties that when the 1-580/!-680
interchange pattern is modified, the maintenance of access to
Stoneridge Drive may prove difficult due to safety and operational
constraints. Nonetheless, Caltrans will make every effort to
maintain access between 1-580 and the Stoneridge Drive
Interchange."
The Pleasanton City Council has requested this change because of concern that
access between !-580 and the Stonefidge Ddve Interchange may be unnecessarily lost
due to future flyovers at the 1-580/1-680 Interchange. Such loss would have serious
economic and transportation consequences for our City. The Council is requesting that
at the time these future flyovers are being considered, that Caltrans make every effort
to maintain access between 1-580 and the Stoneridge Drive Interchange. Decisions
could then be made based on the actual design of the future flyovers as to whether
access can be maintained.

Connector Project
Dear Ms. Acosta:
Caltrans has re-evaluated the need for a Freeway Agreement with the City of
Pleasanton on the proposed 1-580/680 Interchange Direct Connector Project. AFreeway
Agreement will not be necessary. Caltrans is respectfully withdrawing the proposed Freeway
Agreement previously transmitted to the City on August 12, 1996.
Historically, the true purpose of a Freeway Agreement is to identify any additions or
deletions of freeway access to and from local streets and any major local street access
modifications (i.e. converting a local through street to a cul-de-sac). This project will not have
any of these features. The most sigrdficam impact to the local street will be the realignment
of johnson Drive.
As you know, this Measure B funded project will provide si_mzificant benefits to the
City of Pleasanton as well as to the City of Dublin and other nearby areas. The Alameda
County Transportation Authority (ACTA) has estimated the total project cost presently at
$112 million. Caltrans invites the City To work with us on how to best achieve the City's
authorization on the project scope details affecting City property. It is our intent to work
closely with the City and ACTA to allow this vital link to move forward to construction.
Ms. Deborah Acosta

Dear Mr. Lure:
Thank you for accommodating the rescheduled meeting to discuss the 1-580 access issue fi-om the
Stoneridge Drive Interchange. Our District Director, Harry Yahata, regrets he could not meet with you
and Mr. George Homolka.
We understand that the City's proposal to add the West Las Positas Boulevard Interchange will
not likely occur due to strong local opposition. Coupled with the anticipation for further growth in the
area, the need to maintain'access to 1-580 from the Stoneridge Drive Interchange is certainly a valid
At this time, further improvements to this interchange are not identified in any federal, state, or
local programming document. The 1-580 access would be re-addressed when furore major
improvements to the 1-580/680 Interchange are pro~m'ammed. Local circulation and socio-
economical impacts will be thoroughly analyzed through the environmental process under the National
Environmental Protection Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
We hope that this meeting has provided further reassurance to you that we do understand the
City's concern and will take the appropriate actions when necessary to help the City's cause.

POLICY_ REGD~D!NG USE OF STATE D2~D FEDERAL FUNDS
AS LOCAL M_ATCi~,
Measure B restricts the use of state and federal funds as
pa~ or all of a local jurisdictions, Local Matching Funds for
Measure B projects.
It is the Authority's policy that this restriction shall
mean that local jurisdictions are prohibited from using as their
Local Matching Fund contribution only those state or federal
funds that are available to the Authority and appropriate for
Measure B projects. This policy is consistent with the
Authority's purpose to avoid competition with local jurisdictions
for funding of the same Measure B project and the policy to
leverage Measure B 'fUnds to the maximum extent possible.
If a local jurisdiction wants to apply for funds for a
Measure B project from a funding source that is not listed in the
List of State and Federal Funds (attached as Exhibit C-I) as
available to local jurisdictions for local match, it shall submit
a written request to the Authority Executive Director who shall
determine whether such state or federal fUnds'may be used as
Local Matching Funds for that specific Measure B project.
