City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve <br />Draft EIR Project Description <br /> <br /> <br />FirstCarbon Solutions 2-33 <br />https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/EIR/3 - Draft EIR/21480016 Sec02-00 Project Description.docx <br />The new streets, gated entryway, and landscaped streetscape, as well as some open space areas, will <br />be privately maintained within the community via the establishment of an HOA. An Emergency <br />Vehicle Access (EVA) roadway would be constructed to connect Dublin Canyon Road with the Oak <br />Hill Congregational Church driveway connection. The EVA and project access road system would also <br />include sewer, water, and storm drainage connections for the proposed project, as well as a water <br />pump station. An access road at the end of Street A is provided to allow continued access by the <br />rancher(s) grazing livestock on the open space areas outside of the UGB. <br />2.3.3 - Circulation and Access <br />Vehicle Circulation and Access <br />A landscaped gated entry off Dublin Canyon Road in the northwestern corner of the site would <br />provide access for the new homes. Three new internal roadways, Street A, Street B, and Court C are <br />proposed, which would provide connection to the project site from Dublin Canyon Road. Street A <br />would provide a 20- to 21-foot-wide EVA via Dublin Canyon Road extending southwest within the <br />project site to its terminus past Court C. Street B is the main entrance to the project site and is <br />proposed to be gated access. Street B would connect to Dublin Canyon Road west of Street A, <br />extending south within the project site and connecting to Street A. <br />Access to the Lester property would remain from an existing entrance on Dublin Canyon Road, which <br />would become a paved loop connecting to the EBRPD easement to the east of the existing Lester <br />property. The EBRPD easement would be a new paved access to the planned trailhead and parking <br />area to the south of the Lester property, as shown on the site plan (Exhibit 2-5). Bollards would be <br />installed at the Lester driveway connection to Dublin Canyon Road, and a private access gate would <br />be constructed at the loop’s connection with the EBRPD easement. An EVA would cross a small <br />portion of the Oak Hills Congregational Church’s driveway for the installation of underground utilities <br />and improved access to the adjacent church site. <br />While the proposed project does not include trail construction on the adjacent open space, a <br />driveway easement and open space access would be constructed at the end of Street A, and <br />sidewalks would be required along the frontage of lot 30 on Dublin Canyon Road as well as along the <br />rear of the Lester property in the new EBRPD access. <br />Transit <br />The proposed project does not include any transit improvements. The City provides a variety of <br />transit options. The Pleasanton Paratransit Service provides local door-to-door and fixed routed bus <br />services for seniors, ages 70 and older, and American with Disabilities Act (ADA) qualified individuals, <br />ages 18 and older. Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority, Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), <br />Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) Rail, and Amtrak provide other transit options for residents of the <br />Tri -Valley area. <br />Bicycle <br />According to Figure 3-3c: Map 3, Unincorporated Areas Bicycle Plan 2012, of the Alameda County <br />Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan for Unincorporated Areas, Class II bike lanes in both directions
