| Policy 1. |
|
The traffic level of service objective for projected traffic on public streets (except Treat Boulevard) shall be a volume to capacity ratio (V/C) of 0.90 to 0.94 (Level of Service E). The traffic service objectives for Treat Boulevard are (a) a delay index of 2.0, with a minimum peak hour average travel speed of 15 miles per hour; and (b) average vehicle occupancy of 1.2 persons per vehicle. |
| Policy 2. |
|
Accept the determination of the host local jurisdictions as it relates to implementation of the following roadway improvements as recommended in the 1996 traffic study: (1) add one eastbound lane on Treat Boulevard from Cherry Lane to Bancroft Road; (2) realign North Main vertically at its intersection with Oak Park Boulevard to form a four-way intersection. |
| Policy 3. |
|
The cost of other roadway improvements, which serve to enhance the circulation throughout the Station Area, should be borne by the Redevelopment Agency using its own funds or funding it may secure and future development which has not yet paid Specific Plan fees. Property owners participating in prior infrastructure financing districts have complied with this policy objective. Those who have yet to meet their obligation may do so by paying the Pleasant Hill BART Station Specific Plan fee as adjusted. |
| Policy 4. |
|
While Del Hombre Lane is outside the Specific Plan Station Area, direct access to Treat shall be eliminated and a turning cul-de-sac provided. The southern portion of Del Hombre Lane shall be converted into a respite area until such time as the area may be needed for a future light rail use. The respite area shall be an adjunct to the trail use in the former Southern Pacific Railroad right-of-way. |
| Policy 5. |
|
Consider installation of appropriate and desired traffic calming devices using development impact fees and/or other public revenues including Redevelopment funds to reduce through traffic in adjacent residential neighborhoods. |
