Exhibit 4 is a rating form for Council's use to help prioritize the study alternatives. 2) Authorize the Mayor to send the attached letter (or as modified) to Tri-valley Transportation Council FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None at this time. DESCRIPTION: The Tri-Valley Transportation Council's traffic consultant, Barton-Aschmann, has now run the Tri-Valley Transportation Model for the Year 2010 with land use data acceptable to each of the seven jurisdictions. The model results indicate the following three major regional roads in the Dublin area that will not meet generally acceptable Level of Service (LOS) standards, D for arterial streets and E for freeways: 1) Dublin Boulevard (from 1-680 to Livermore): LOS E and F 2) 1-580 (throughout the Tri-Valley area): LOS F 3) Tassajara Road (throughout the Eastern Dublin area): LOS F. However, the model shows that Fallon Road will have enough capacity to accommodate some of the overflow traffic from Tassajara Road, which would then improve the LOS on Tassajara Road to acceptable levels. Because Dublin Boulevard and 1-580 are the only two major regional east-west roadway systems in the Dublin area, these roadways will not accommodate all of the projected east-west traffic demand. One or more of the following improvements or combination upgrading of improvements could improve Dublin Blvd. and 1-580 to acceptable LOS: WITHIN DUBLIN'S JURIDICTION OUTSIDE OF DUBLIN'S JURISDICTION 1) Extending the transit spine road to Livermore 1) Upgrading Highland Avenue 2) Upgrading SR 84 to a six-lane expressway or freeway from 1-680 to Vasco Road 3) Widening Vasco Road to four lanes 4) widen 1-580 from Greenville Road to Eden Canyon Road The next step in preparing the Tri-valley Transportation Plan is to find methods of matching development to needed roadway improvements. The TVTC has proposed six types of studies to undertake to try to match transportation improvements to developments (see Exhibit 3). Exhibit 3 lists these six different transportation study alternatives and the earlier preferences from each of the other Tri-Valley jurisdictions. The Dublin City Council did not previously rank the alternatives because results of this latest model run were not available, and it was felt at the time that it was not prudent to recommend solutions until it was known where the problems would occur. It appears ---------------------------------------------------------------------~-------------- ITEM NO. Z-i..-- COPIES TO: Bill van Gelder, T.E. City of Pleasanton . . . . that the majority of the other jurisdictions would prefer the reduced land use growth rate as a first alternative, transit improvements and shifting higher densities to mass transit centers as the next highest alternatives, then road improvements, and increasing Traffic Demand Management (TDM) measures and reducing the LOS standards as the last alternatives. TDM measures would include such things as telecommuting, flex hours, four-day work weeks, carpooling and paying for employee parking. At the December 15th Tri-Valley Transportation Council (TVTC) meeting, the TVTC directed staff and the consultant to explore improvement to the network system by reducing the land use growth rate for the Year 2010. At that meeting, John Dillon from the City of San Ramon informed the TVTC that he had contacted EPS (the land use consultant to Barton-Aschmann) to find out the absorption rate for development in the Tri-Valley area. He was told by EPS that the absorption rate for the area is projected to be approximately 2.8% per year. The existing Tri-valley land uses in the model reflect an approximate 4% growth rate per year. Therefore, the TVTC directed staff and the consultant to study a reduced area-wide land use growth rate of approximately 2.8% growth rate instead of 4%. staff believes that the direction given by the TVTC is inappropriate. The Tri- Valley Transportation Joint Powers Agreement clearly states: 1) that its purpose is to provide for the joint preparation of a transportation plan and to provide a forum for the review and coordination of transportation facilities; and 2) that the transportation plan must be approved by all jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction should determine its own land uses, growth rates, and transportation alternatives for its own area. The TVTC has no authority to determine land uses, growth rates, or transportation alternatives. Individual jurisdictions may need to coordinate with other jurisdictions to prepare a regional transportation plan and implement regional transportation solutions. The determinations of individual jurisdictions for their own areas then need to be assembled and coordinated for the region. Dublin's Planning Department and the City's consultant, WRT, feel more comfortable using Dublin's existing Year 2010 land use estimates. It should be noted that the City of Dublin's land use numbers are consistent with the latest ABAG growth projections (projections '94). These numbers are based on professional land use studies conducted by Staff, the City's consultants, and ABAG over the last several years. AlSO, the CMA and MTC will not accept a computer model that shows land uses inconsistent with ABAG projections, which will happen if the projected growth rate is drastically cut. If the numbers do not approximately match ABAG numbers, the model cannot be used for CMA Deficiency Plans, air quality studies, and/or other environmental documentation studies. A negative aspect of reducing the projected growth rate is that it could increase the cost per unit for infrastructure improvements and thereby the needed traffic impact fee amount per unit. In addition, if Dublin develops a roadway network and financing plan for reduced growth by the Year 2010, not all of the needed infrastructure will be planned, financed and implemented. To go back and widen roadways after the fact would be a more costly undertaking. It would seem to staff that it is shortsighted to articifially reduce the rate of growth to match a transportation system and not plan for a transportation system to match anticipated development. Reducing the growth rate would give unrealistic expectations on what impacts that growth in other jurisdictions would have on Dublin's infrastructure. The TVTC should be reminded that it does not have the authority over land uses for any jurisdictions but is an adivsory planning body. Staff therefor recommends that the City Council set the following priorites for further TVTC plan Studies for the Dublin area only: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) Additional road improvements Increase TDM measures Higher densities near transportation nodes Reduced Level of Service Transit improvements Reduce land use growth rate (a lot) (a lot) (some) (some) (some) (none) staff also recommends that Council send the attached letter (Exhibit 1) to the TVTC expressing the City'S concern with reducing the growth rate for the Year 2010 and providing the City Council's priorities for further transportation studies. Page 2 . . ~ January 10, 1994 Ms. Millie Greenberg, chair Tri-Valley Transportation Council c/o Mr. Bill van Gelder Traffic Engineering Department, City of Pleasanton 200 Old Bernal Avenue Pleasanton CA 94566 SUBJECT: Dublin City Council's Preferred Transportation Alternatives and opposition to Reduced Land Use Growth Rate Dear Ms. Greenberg: In response to the Tri-Valley Transportation council's (TVTC) request, on January 10, 1994, the Dublin City Council analyzed and ranked the transportation plan alternatives for further study in the Dublin area as follows: Road Improvements (a lot); Transit Improvements (some); Higher Densities (some); Reduced Land Use Growth Rate (none); Reduced Level of Service Standards (some); Increase TDM Measures (a lot) . At the TVTC meeting of December 15, 1993, the TVTC directed its Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and consultant, Barton-Aschmann Associates, Inc., to run the Tri- Valley Model using a slower growth rate for the whole Tri-Va11ey area (2.8%, instead of the current 4%) for the Year 2010. EPS, a land use consulting firm, recommended an absorption rate for development in the Tri-valley area based on what they feel the market will support by the Year 2010. The members of the TVTC have not received anv tvpe of formal report from EPS that supports this conclusion. The TVTC is hoping that network deficiencies will be improved or eliminated if jurisdictions slow the rate of land use growth. The TVTC concluded that if the model results still show network deficiencies, the rate of growth may be decreased more in some areas. The City of Dublin would like to go on record as opposing a reduced land use growth rate for the following reasons. First, our staff and the City's land use consultant, WRT, derived land use numbers after more than three years of professional land use studies. Second, Dublin's Year 2010 land use numbers are consistent with ABAG's projected land use numbers. This is significant to the extent that the congestion Management Agency (CMA) and MTC will not accept a computer model that shows land uses inconsistent with ABAG's. If the model is not consistent with ABAG numbers, then the model cannot be used for CMA Deficiency Plans, air quality studies, and/or other environmental documentation. We do not believe that it is prudent to have two models, one with numbers acceptable to the CMA, ABAG, and some Tri-val1ey juriSdictions, and another with TVTC's numbers that indicate a slower growth rate with no traffic congestion that cannot be used for any official and legal purposes. r('~:: ..":? ;""j ':'::, ~..~ft / '~., :; ~~; t...:." ~.-,,' ;,';.:.;, i" ,," "",,, ,~ j · . . Third, we strongly believe that the Tri-valley Transportation Plan and Action Plan should incorporate policies, objectives and implementation strategies for ultimate Tri-Valley growth for the Year 2010. Not planning for ultimate growth or faster growth rate for Year 2010 may result in increased traffic deficiencies at the Year 2010 or beyond and costly right-of-way acquisition expenses to construct the needed roadway network at that time. Fourth, with a slower growth rate through land use regulations, the regional traffic impact fee could be higher. If the amount of development is reduced, a higher traffic impact fee is needed to pay for the transportation network. Fifth, there is no accepted evidence to support a slower market growth rate. Sixth, the JPA clearly states that its purpose is to provide for the joint preparation of a Transportation Plan and to provide a forum for the review and coordination of transportation facilities and must be approved by all jurisdictions. Therefore, it is more appropriate for each jurisdiction to provide the TVTC and the TVTC's consultant with land use data than having the land use data dictated to the jurisdictions. We realize that the Tri-Valley area is at a critical juncture in terms of anticipated future development and future transportation plans. The TVTC has a major responsibility and task to develop a transportation model and plan that is acceptable to all Tri-Valley jurisdictions. Therefore, we urge you to reconsider your direction to run the model with only the slower growth rate alternative. We feel it is more appropriate to study a combination of alternatives. This will present a more viable solution for future traffic congestion in line with the original charge to the TVTC. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. We look forward to continue working with the TVTC to develop an effective and reliable transportation plan for the future Tri-Valley area. Sincerely, Peter W.
