Transportation Impact Study for Hidden Canyon Residences & Preserve March 2023 Page | 34 4.4 PEDESTRIAN, BICYCLE, AND TRANSIT IMPACT FINDINGS Pedestrian Impacts Pedestrian circulation within the project site would be accommodated by 5-foot wide sidewalks on both sides of the proposed Street B, except between Lots 2 and 6 where the sidewalk would be limited to one side only. For Street A, five-foot wide sidewalks would be constructed along the frontage of residential lots only. In addition, the proposed emergency vehicle access (EVA) road will provide a direct connection for pedestrians between Street A and Dublin Canyon Road. A sidewalk is being proposed along the south side of Dublin Canyon Road between EVA and the EBRPD Driveway. Further, a sidewalk is also being proposed along the west side of the EBRPD Driveway. The installation of the signal at Dublin Canyon Road and Canyon Meadows Drive would provide a protected pedestrian crossing across Dublin Canyon Road for residents trying to access the nearby park, thereby improving conditions for pedestrians. The project is not anticipated to negatively interfere with pedestrian accessibility to the adjoining areas. The project would not conflict with an existing or other planned pedestrian facilities nor would the project conflict with policies related to pedestrian travel adopted by the City of Pleasanton. Therefore, the impact to pedestrian facilities is considered less than significant. Bicycle Impacts Striped shoulders are provided on Dublin Canyon Road adjacent to the project site, while segments west of the project site – and to the east near Foothill Road – are striped with Class II bicycle lanes. As part of the project: the existing shoulders bordering the project site would be upgraded to meet Class II bicycle lane standards, and as shown on the project site plans, bicycle lanes would be provided adjacent to the proposed eastbound right-turn lane approaching the EBRPD Driveway. Bicycle access to the project site would be adequately accommodated by the proposed Street B and EBRPD Driveway, and by the proposed emergency vehicle access (EVA) road. The project is not anticipated to create a hazardous condition that currently does not exist for bicyclists; or otherwise interfere with bicycle accessibility to the project and adjoining areas; or conflict with an existing or planned pedestrian or bicycle facility; or conflict with policies related to bicycle and pedestrian activity adopted by the City of Pleasanton. Therefore, the project impact to bicycle facilities is less than significant. Transit Impacts No public transit service is provided on Dublin Canyon Road near the project site. The project would not conflict with existing or planned transit services. The project is located within convenient bicycling distance from the West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station located approximately 1.4 miles to the east. The project is not anticipated to create significant demand for public transit services above the capacity that is provided or planned. The project would not conflict with transit policies adopted by the City of Pleasanton, ACTC, Wheels (LAVTA) or BART for their respective facilities in the study area. Therefore, impacts to transit service are expected to be less than significant.
