DOCUMENTING THE TOWN OF DANVILLE'S POSITION ON POTENTIAL ACTION
ALTERNATIVES FOR INCLUSION IN THE TRI-VALLEY TRANSPORTATION PLAN/ACTION PLAN
FOR ROUTES OF REGIONAL SIGNIFICANCE
WHEREAS, the Town of Danville has adopted a number of land use, transportation, and growth
management policies in its GeneralPlan; and
WHEREAS, the Town has been asked to document its position on four alternatives and actions to
implement those alternatives in conjunction with preparation of the Tri-Valley Transportation
Plan/Action Plan for Routes of Regional Significance; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, based on existing policy direction the Town adopts the following positions:
.
The most emphasis be placed on Alternative 4, "Emphasize Growth Management". This
should be the first priority. Second priority should be "Emphasize Transit Improvements";
third priority should be "Emphasize Road Improvements"; and fourth "Emphasize Policy
Options".
.
The following represent the Town's position on potential actions for inclusion in the Tri-
Valley Transportation Plan/Action Plan for Routes of Regional Significance.
The Tri-Valley Transportation Plan/Action Plan for Routes of Regional Significance shall:
Not consider motorized transit on the Iron Horse Trail within the Town of Danville;
Not consider additional travel lanes on Sycamore Valley Road, Diablo Road, or Camino
Tassajara beyond their current number of lanes;
Not assume changes to the Town's General Plan Growth Management Element of mid-range
LOS D (0.87 V/C ratio) on Basic Routes or Routes of Regional Significance -- relaxation of
LOS standards is unacceptable for Danville;
Address anticipated peak hour congestion on 1-680 and parallel facilities within the Town of
Danville through regional land use changes;
Not rely on untested policy options or financially infeasible transit or roadway improvements
to address anticipated Level of Service standard violations;
Adjust the rate of land use entitlements to a level that will meet adopted Level of Service
standards for a financially constrained roadway and transit network; and
Not assume collection of a regional traffic impact fee from Danville development projects that
have already paid or are conditioned to pay a regional traffic impact fee.
.
The Town's representative to the Tri-Valley Transportation Council is directed to forward
these positions and policy statements to the Transportation Council.
