City of Pleasanton—Villages at the Quarry Project Consistency Checklist 15183 Consistency Checklist 214 pedestrian network and to City destinations, such as parks and schools are limited. The project site is located near routes to school identified by the City of Pleasanton for Alisal Elementary School, Harvest Park Middle School, and Amador High School.35 Therefore, the proposed project would have a less than significant impact with regard to pedestrian access and circulation consistent with the Housing Element Update. Bicycle Access and Circulation In the immediate project vicinity, there is a Class I Share Use Path along the northern edge of Busch Road, ending at Valley Avene. North of the project site, Iron Horse Trail provides Class I facilities from the project site directly to the Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station. The 2018 City of Pleasanton Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan proposes a Class I Shared Use Path along Valley Avenue east and a Class IV Separated Bikeway on Valley Avenue west leading to Santa Rita Road. When completed, this bikeway would connect the project site more cohesively with the greater bike network. East of the intersection of Stanley Boulevard and Valley Avenue, Stanley Boulevard’s existing facilities include an eastbound Class I bike facility and a westbound Class II bike facility. West of the intersection, there are Class II bike lanes in each direction. Furthermore, the proposed project would provide two short-term bicycle parking spaces per 50 residential units. This would further programs in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, as well as Primary Action P8. Bicycle Amenities of the CAP 2.0. Therefore, the proposed project would not conflict with the City’s adopted plans and policies as it relates to bicycle facilities. Trails Master Plan Consistency The proposed project’s plan for pedestrian and bike infrastructure is consistent with the City’s Trails Master Plan. As discussed above, the proposed project includes a shared-use path that circles the northwest quadrant of the project site, which would connect to the existing Iron Horse Trail north of the project site. Project buildout would complete a planned extension of the Iron Horse Trail along the east side of Valley Avenue. At completion, this would connect the north section of the Iron Horse Trail with the south leg on east Stanley Avenue, providing improved bike and pedestrian access. A Class I Bike Path on Busch Road is included in the proposed project along the 35 City of Pleasanton. School Transportation.
