HomeMy WebLinkAbout031020-03.1 STUDY STUDY SESSION MEMORANDUM 3.1 TO: Mayor and Town Council March 10, 2020 SUBJECT: Tri-Valley Transportation Council Fee Nexus Study Update BACKGROUND The Tri-Valley Transportation Council (TVTC) was formed in 1991 and is comprised of elected officials from Contra Costa and Alameda Counties, the Town of Danville, and the Cities of San Ramon, Dublin, Pleasanton and Livermore. The TVTC works to: (1) provide a forum to evaluate the impact of local development on regional transportation, (2) develop a priority list of needed transportation improvements, (3) establish a reasonable nexus between future growth and the needed improvements and (4) implement regional development fees to offset the cost of these improvements. Once the TVTC adopts the recommended fees, the governing body of each of the member jurisdictions implements and collects the fees. In 1998, the TVTC created a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JEPA) to establish a Tri- Valley Transportation Development Fee (TVTDF) to fund portions of 11 high-priority regional transportation projects in the Tri-Valley consisting of improvements to freeways, arterials and collector roadways. Subsequently, in 2011 the TVTC adopted a Strategic Expenditure Plan (SEP) that expanded the list to 22 projects (“List A” and “List B”). In 2017, the TVTC adopted an update to the SEP that serves as the current funding plan and list of projects (Attachment A). As required by the California Mitigation Fee Act, jurisdictions must first identify the purpose for collecting development impact fees and make statutory findings when establishing, increasing or imposing a development impact fee. This step is completed through the development of a Nexus Study. In 1998, the TVTC adopted its first Nexus Study with a subsequent update in 2008. In January 2017, the TVTC approved a revalidation of the the 2008 TVTC Nexus Study as a required precursor to the adoption of the aforementioned 2017 SEP update. DISCUSSION With the majority of the projects in the 2017 SEP having been completed or in-progress, the TVTC Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) has been in the process of drafting a new list of projects in preparation for the next SEP update. As previously described, the TVTC is first required to complete a Nexus Study to evaluate the new proposed projects to establish a reasonable nexus between future growth and the needed improvements. TVTC Fee Nexus Study Update 2 March 10, 2020 At its meeting of October 28, 2019, the TVTC approved a new list of projects (“List C”, Attachment B) and authorized the release of a Request for Proposals for the preparation of a Nexus Study. Projects included in the new list are focused on improvements along the Iron Horse Trail corridor, projects along the Interstate 680 and 580 corridors, and the Valley Link rail projeet. The TVTC’s legal counsel noted that List A and List B projects identified in the current SEP do not have to be re-evaluated in the Nexus Study. However, the TVTC TAC has recommended that remaining projects from the “List A” and “List B” should still be modeled in the Nexus Study to help calculate the various TVTDF costs. . The following is the schedule for the the Nexus Study update: Activity Proposed Due Date Review Proposed Agency Projects October 2019 TVTC Meeting (completed) Publish RFP November 2019 (completed) Award RFP April 2020 TVTC Meeting Nexus Study Completion March 2021 The TVTC has adopted a budget of $100,000 for preparation of a new Nexus Study. A consultant contract with Kimley Horn is currently being negotiated and will be brought before for the TVTC for approval at its upcoming April 2020 meeting. It is anticipated that the TVTC Nexus Study Update will take approximately one year to complete and will be followed by an update to the Strategic Expenditure Plan that is expected to begin in mid-year 2021.

PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: This safety improvements project will address rear end type collisions, improve access to wineries, and improve goods movements as well as commute traffic issues. Proposed improvements will reduce queues along this congested rural roadway connecting Unincorporated areas of Alameda County to City of Livermore. MTSO Justification: N/A Safety Project Project Sponsor: Alameda County Project Phasing: This project is in the scoping phase and is expected to be completed by 2024. Construction Estimate and Funding Sources: Cost is approx. $12.0 M that includes Local funds from Alameda County and additional local contribution towards the undergrounding. Location Map: C-1 Norris Canyon Road Safety Improvement Project. Phase I Contra Costa County and Phase II Alameda County Project Description: The proposed project for Norris Canyon Road includes countermeasures that will increase safety on a regional route that connects San Ramon to Alameda County. The proposed project includes the following road segments: •Segment 1 (Norris Canyon Road from San Ramon City Limits to 300 feet west of Ashbourne Drive) – this segment has experienced an increase in runoff the road collisions and is slated for countermeasures such as increasing the superelevation at the two outside curves for the eastbound direction and installation of High Friction pavement. •Segment 2 (Norris Canyon Road from 300 feet west of Ashbourne Drive to Alameda County limits) – this segment currently has a 20’ pavement width and no road shoulders. This segment has also experienced an increase in runoff the road collisions. Countermeasures include shoulder widening and installation of a retaining wall and guardrail where the edge of road pavement currently coincides with the top of bank for San Cataino Creek. For approximately 250’ of the project length, safety guardrail installation will require construction of a battered retaining wall to support the railing, as well as pavement widening to provide standard lanes and road shoulders. Segment 3 (Norris Canyon Road from the Alameda County limit line to Crow Canyon Road) – the narrow rural road continues west into Alameda County where the road pavement continues to be narrow with approximately 20’ existing pavement width and no road shoulders. The proposed project would include shoulder widening and guardrail installation to reduce serious injury collisions. The phases of this project will include preparation of a Project Study Report (PSR) to establish a project scope and cost estimate, environmental documentation, preparation of plans, specifications and estimates (PS&E), Right of Way Acquisition, Construction and Construction Inspection. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: During the last decade, two run-off-the-road collisions resulted in fatalities as the adjacent creek drops approximately twenty feet or more below the roadway. Since 2014, the number of collisions has increased from four per year to twelve per year. Given this history of fatal collisions and the recent increase in collisions, this project is critical to keep people moving safely through County roads. The proposed safety rail project is intended to keep motorists from leaving the roadway to minimize injuries resulting from collisions, minimize impacts to the creek, and reduce the need for right of way acquisition. MTSO Justification: N/A Project Sponsor: Contra Costa County, Department of Public Works & Alameda County, Department of Public Works C-2 Project Phasing: The Project design and environmental phase is currently 35% complete for segment 2. The project is currently awaiting additional funds in order to continue planning studies and further design efforts. Construction Estimate and Funding Sources: The Contra Costa County estimates the project (Phase I) to cost $4.9M within Contra Costa County. The County will allocate $1,300,000 from Measure J (SWAT Major Streets fund) and $440,000 from Local Road Funds (SB1). The Alameda County Portion (Phase II) is approx. $15,000,000. Alameda County will allocate a mix of various local funds. Location Maps: Norris Canyon Phase I; Contra Costa County Norris Canyon Phase II; Alameda County Dublin Boulevard - North Canyons Parkway Extension Project Description: This project will construct the street extension to connect Dublin Blvd at Fallon Road in Dublin with North Canyons Pkwy. in Livermore at Doolan Road. The preliminary phase (currently underway) of this planned project will update the project by incorporating multimodal travel, and the current State, regional, and local priorities. Dublin Boulevard - North Canyons Parkway Extension project would extend Dublin Boulevard in Dublin at its current terminus at Fallon Road to North Canyons Parkway in Livermore. The new extended street is planned to have 4 to 6 travel lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks, curb and gutter, traffic signals/roundabouts, a raised median, bus stops, and all street utilities. This project will consider the provision of dedicated transit lanes in addition to the mixed flow travel lanes for higher level of transit service with 10 to 20-minute headways during appropriate peak demand periods. This project will also require enhanced multimodal connectivity to various land uses along its stretch and at its terminus, including connectivity to 5 PDAs. While addressing Sustainable Communities Strategies, circulation inside and outside the PDAs will be incorporated as part of the design. This project is currently in Preliminary Design Phase (funded by local monies) including the environmental analysis for the project. It will require design and construction funding. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: 1.Create direct connectivity to 5 PDAs in Dublin and Livermore and connects to 2 BART stations; Camp Parks; Iron Horse Trail; downtowns of Dublin and Livermore; Las Positas College; and various residential and commercial lands outside the PDAs. Las Positas College enrolls 8,500 students. 2.This project would reduce VMT in the region due to its proximity to I-580 (1/4 mile from I- 580)and ability to provide access to various land uses. This roadway extension project is expected to reduce trip lengths by diverting localized inter-city trips from the freeway. 3.Extend the reliever route. This street extension will extend the existing reliever along the north side of I-580 from San Ramon Road/Foothill Road to State Route 84 at Isabel/I- 580 interchange. 4.Addresses lack of existing RTP project to account for new state (SB375) and regional (Complete Street) policies on multimodal and sustainable transportation.

This bridge will create a total separation between vehicles and bicyclists/pedestrians. This will eliminate the possibility of motorized vehicles and pedestrians having a collision, making this segment of the road safer for all users. Along with this, congestion will be reduced as cars will no longer have to wait for pedestrians. This reduction of congestion will also allow for the transit operate more efficiently. Pedestrians and bicyclists will also not have to wait for a walk signal since they will be able to continue their walk or ride without stopping. The bridge will follow ADA requirements so that disabled people will be able to use it as well. This bridge will also be aesthetically pleasing in order to attract users and improve the user's experience. The bridge will also connect BART to Dublin in a safe manner, encouraging recreational users of the Iron Horse Trail and the opening of local businesses. This safe and fast route of crossing the Iron Horse Trail will promote walking and bicycling for both recreational and commuting purposes in Dublin, thus encouraging the shift from motorized vehicles to alternative forms of transportation. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The Iron Horse Trail is recognized as an Intraregional Route of Regional Significance in Tri-Valley Transportation Plan and Action Plan and is important for regional pedestrian and bicycle mobility. The purpose of this project is to provide a safe crossing across the Dublin Boulevard span of the Iron Horse Trail for bicyclists and pedestrians. This is a heavily used section of Dublin Boulevard with an average daily traffic volume of 30,000. This section of the road is also a path from the BART station to the west side of Dublin, so it also receives a considerable amount of foot traffic. Because of this, there is a high risk for collisions. Since the road is busy, congestion occurs when cars need to wait for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross the street, slowing down commute time. Pedestrians also have to wait for their walk signal which can take a long time, making their commute time long as well. Addressing Iron Horse Trail crossing at Dublin Boulevard is one of the key requests from the community members. This request has also been documented as part of the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan development. The 2014 Tri-Valley Transportation Plan and Action Plan vision, goals, and policies that support the project are as follows: 1.To improve the safety and mobility of all transportation modes and reduce the overallgreenhouse emissions.2.Integrate transportation planning with planning for air quality, community character, andother environmental factors.3.Consider both the need for vehicular mobility and congestion reduction, and suchlivability concepts as walkability, bicycle access, and community character.4. Provide support for Priority Development Areas 5.Maintain and actively pursue enhanced and expanded public transit service, ridesharing,and non-motorized mode options and trip reduction programs in order to increase C-11c accessibility, to increase the transit share of travel in the Tri-Valley, and to increase average vehicle occupancy. 6. Work cooperatively with regional transportation partners to maximize funding opportunities.

For residents of Livermore, the Iron Horse Trail will provide a direct connection to the Downtown Livermore, Vasco and Downtown ACE stations, local parks and community facilities, Pleasanton, the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station, regional parks, and to other cities connected by the Iron Horse Trail. The existing Iron Horse Trail aligns through the communities of Concord, Pleasant Hill, Walnut Creek, Alamo, Danville, San Ramon, Dublin and areas of Pleasanton, and is one of the most widely used trails in the East Bay. A portion of the proposed trail, near Greenville Road and Altamont Pass Road, would also serve as a segment of the De Anza National Historic Trail.

This project would construct a continuous Class I trail, at least 10 feet wide, and would include protected intersection improvements and additional crossing improvements of Valley/Bernal and Stanley to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Completing the connection of IHT to Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area is highly desired improvement based both on the public outreach process and per City and East Bay Regional Parks staff feedback. This project is the #2 improvement identified in the Pleasanton Trails Master Plan. The connection of IHT to Shadow Cliffs Regional Recreation Area is a challenge because there is a gap in the IHT at the intersection of Stanley Boulevard, Valley Avenue and Bernal Avenue (Valley becomes Bernal south of Stanley). Southbound pedestrians and bicyclists on the IHT must cross Valley Avenue at Boulder Street north of this end point, then take the west side sidewalk or bike lane along Valley Avenue to the intersection of Stanley Boulevard, and then cross Stanley Boulevard and then Bernal Avenue to continue east towards Shadow Cliffs. Currently, the intersection is partially constructed as a protected intersection at three out of the four corners. This project would improve the fourth corner and construct a continuous Class I trail from the existing terminus and would include additional crossing improvements of Valley/Bernal and Stanley for pedestrian and bicycle safety.

The Arroyo Mocho Trail (AMT) is an important east-west route for bicyclists and pedestrians extending to Livermore that bypasses many busy streets. This project would improve connections from the IHT on Santa Rita Road to the AMT. The AMT would receive an improved Class I Pathway. A new pedestrian bridge would be constructed over the Arroyo Mocho to connect the southern Arroyo Mocho Class I pathway to the IHT to the north. The IHT then connects to the north and provides access to the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Santa Rita Road and Stoneridge Drive severs the IHT in two places and complicates the options for connecting from the AMT to the IHT. This project would address the gap in the IHT at Santa Rita Road and Stoneridge Drive and improve connectivity for north-south travel on the IHT. This project is the #6 trail improvement project in Pleasanton’s Trail Master Plan.

The construction of overcrossings at key locations will develop attractive travel alternatives for congestion relief for commute trips as well as better facilities for school, shopping, and recreations trips. The proposed overcrossing location at Sycamore Valley Road will provide complete separation of motorized vehicles from non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians and provide the following benefits: 1.Improve safety by eliminating conflicts between pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists;2.Improve motor vehicle circulation by removing the existing at-grade crossing on the east leg of the intersection Sycamore Valley Road/Camino Ramon intersection;3.Reduce and eliminate unsafe crossing maneuvers by pedestrians and bicyclists;4.Enhance safety by providing an environment that encourages walking and bicycling along the Iron Horse Regional Trail; and5.Increase trail usage by improving the connectivity to the adjacent Danville Park and Rideand to Sycamore Valley Road, Camino Ramon and Downtown Danville. The project with require coordination, permitting and agreements with Contra Costa County, East Bay Regional Parks District and various utilities. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: The Iron Horse Trail is designated as an Intraregional Route of Regional Significance in the TVTC Transportation Plan and Action Plan and will provides a continuous mixed-use path for cyclists and pedestrians. The project will encourage multi-modal, non-vehicular travel and while increasing efficiency of operations and circulation and reducing delay along Sycamore Valley Road – an arterial roadway that carries and ADT of approximately 28,000 vehicles per day.

Construction Estimate: Construction Cost Estimate Amount Total $18,000,000 Funding Sources: Funding Source Amount No sources have been identified at this time TBD C-11g Location Map: Iron Horse Trail Overcrossing Location Map Project Location Iron Horse Trail System-wide Improvements Project Description: As the primary regional multi-modal corridor between Contra Costa and Alameda County, the Iron Horse Trail is the spine for active modes of travel in the East Bay. The proposed project for the Iron Horse Trail includes safety, operational, and capacity improvements within the TVTC boundary from Alamo to Livermore. The proposed project and associated cost estimate includes safety improvements at roadway crossings, a proposed parallel path to separate users according to speed, and a buffer between users traveling at high or low speed. The improvements would include features such as passive detection at road crossings, actuated flashers or warning signals at roadway crossings, high visibility markings, minor grading, construction of a new 10 foot wide parallel asphalt path with shoulders, and a buffer between high and low speed corridors which may include vegetation or fencing to maintain safe separation. Other safety improvements may be necessary to fit site conditions and as determined through additional study. Separated grade crossings or bridges that have already been identified as critical for improved vehicle traffic flow at current at grade crossings and to improve safety for trail users are listed as separate projects within the TVTC program. The cost and context for each bridge site warrants a specific project identification rather than to be included within the system-wide improvements under this project. Project Justification: Consistent with trends in public policy such as Vision Zero, Sustainable Communities, and other efforts to reduce vehicle miles traveled, the Iron Horse Trail is the primary infrastructure element that will be key in implementing these goals. Although the existing trail is already a valued corridor connecting Contra Costa and Alameda, users have been vocal about safety concerns at roadway crossings, ability to sustain high speeds for commute purposes, and experiencing higher stress due to the large disparity in the speed of the variety of users. As technology has progressed with use of electric scooters, e-bikes, and pedal assist bicycles, the differential in speeds between commuters and children or seniors will continue to increase. To allow this vital active transportation facility to progress with the future needs of the public, residents and employees will look to this corridor as a resource to improve quality of life and personal health, rather than increasing the hours sitting on congested roadways. In addition, the focus on Vision Zero, a goal to reduce fatalities and serious injury, must also prioritize safety measures for the most vulnerable travelers in our C-11h corridors, pedestrians and bicyclists. The proposed project will also be an important element in the Vision Zero Plan. The Iron Horse Trail Corridor study currently underway in Contra Costa will be complete in 2021 and will provide recommendations for spot improvements, corridor improvements and systemic safety upgrades. Future estimates for this project will be refined to incorporate the developments from further planning and design efforts. Improved warning systems at road crossings will also address safety for motorists at trail crossings, and improve traffic flow where the at-grade crossings currently increase vehicle delay with increase signal phases dedicated to crosswalks. An increase in trips via active modes or transit will reduce the vehicle demand and ease congestion on the road infrastructure.

I-580/Hacienda Drive interchange Improvements will include; reconstruction of overcrossing to provide additional northbound lane; widening of the eastbound off-ramp to include an additional lane to be used as a combined left and right turn lane; modifying signal and striping, modifying the westbound loop on-ramp; and widening of the westbound off-ramp to include a third left-turn lane. PROJECT JUSTIFICATION: Currently, this interchange operates near or above capacity during peak periods, which results in localized congestion along I-580 and with the adjacent jurisdictions. It is expected that the congestion along these interchanges will become severe with new development as per the General Plans of Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore. This project will add new travel lanes at Hacienda overcrossings, which will result in reduction in current and future congestion. By reducing the current and future congestion, this project will assist in increased transit speed. It would increase the capacity of all modes of transportation, especially for bicycle and pedestrian modes, as it would close existing gaps in these modes. It will complement the existing bicycle and pedestrian network in the Cities of Dublin and Pleasanton, by removing a major gap in bicycle and pedestrian modes. It is expected that the removal of this gap will improve bicycle and pedestrian volumes by 15 to 20 % along the existing bicycle network in the vicinity of this project. It would also enhance the interchange operations by accommodating the projected growth in the Tri-Valley area. This project will include enhanced ITS technology for connected vehicles, better detection of bicyclists and pedestrians, enhanced communication system for better interchange management, improved traffic monitoring, etc. The addition of bike lanes and new sidewalks will encourage existing and future motorists to use alternate modes thus reducing the desire to drive. This in turn will reduce the overall VMT in the area. The efficiency of the transportation system will increase as the current and future congestion will be reduced and interconnectivity of multi modes will significantly increase by the closure of gaps in bike and pedestrian network.

This project requires the construction of the I-680 Express Lane Gap Closure project, closing the gap in the express lanes between Alcosta Blvd and State Route 84, in order to utilize the express lanes to avoid congestion, reduce travel time, and improve reliably, as part of an express bus service between the Tri-Valley communities and Silicon Valley. This express bus service would likely be combined with and become part of similar efforts by Contra Costa Transportation Authority (CCTA) and their Innovate 680 program, with the intent to serve the entire I- 680 corridor extending from Martinez to San Jose, utilizing buses to provide access to additional commute options, including BART, Amtrak, Caltrain, VTA light rail, local bus service, and Greyhound, for those living along the corridor. The service would operate weekdays only, with proposed 20-minute headways during peak periods and one-hour headways during off-peak hours. The service would be bi-directional to avoid substantial deadhead time and to maintain a high level of service. New electric buses would be purchased as part of this project. The project proposes to place express bus stops in the Tri-Valley area at the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station and at a future park and ride to be constructed at the Bernal Avenue interchange in Pleasanton. Understanding that the express buses must merge across all lanes of traffic to access the express lane, these stop locations are spaced to efficiently serve the Tri-Valley area while also maximizing the express lane distance the bus is able to utilize in-between bus stops. The estimated costs below assume that at each bus stop location there would be construction of roadway and bus stop improvements, including installation of transit amenities such as shelters, bike lockers, lighting, and real time information signs. Project Justification: I-680 is one of the most highly congested corridors in the Bay Area. The express bus service would be designed and operated to attract choice riders, removing single-occupancy vehicles from I-680, and would increase the efficiency of the transportation system on I-680 along the express bus route, and improve travel time and travel reliability for all users, including bus riders. Project Sponsor: Alameda CTC, in partnership with CCTA Project Phasing: A project schedule has not yet been developed. Construction Cost Estimate: Early estimates for the scoping, environmental clearance, design, and construction are in the range of $ 19M - $25M. Annual Operations and Maintenance Cost Estimate: $6M - $10M per year* *Assumes an existing transit agency operates and maintains the system, and that the transit agency’s maintenance facility is utilized for operations and maintenance.
