It is stated in Appendix H that Ponderosa Homes, in coordination with the City, is proposing to install a traffic signal at the intersection of Dublin Canyon Road and Canyon Meadows Drive as part of the project. I can find no discussion of this proposed traffic signal in Appendix H. Were other alternatives such as stop signs or a traffic circle considered? If not, they should be considered at this intersection and the justification for the traffic signal over these alternatives should be given. A traffic circle would appear to be possible at this intersection. A traffic circle will slow traffic but keep it moving. Stop signs are used at the Palomares Road and Dublin Canyon Road intersection approximately four miles to the west. A stoplight will back up eastbound traffic and create a large volume when released precluding egress from the EBRPD driveway, and other driveways to the east. The EBRPD driveway should be referred to as the Vinson/EBRPD driveway. I own (and pay property taxes) on a substantial length (the majority) of the driveway up to the EBRPD house. EBRPD has an easement over my property. Furthermore, the analysis of the traffic on the Vinson/EBRPD driveway is not accurate. I have four ADUs and an additional house at the terminus of the driveway on my property at the head of Devaney Canyon. EBRPD currently has a fire trail crew occupying their house along the driveway. Every workday, 11 (or more) private cars belonging to the trail crew drive to the EBRPD house. Added to this are the vehicles coming in and out from my buildings. Of course, the EBRPD fire crew, on occasion, must to respond to an emergency with their firetrucks. Finally, on occasion, there are meetings between EBRPD fire crews, and Cal Fire crews. These activities are illustrated in Figures 1 to 4. This traffic volume from my buildings and EBRPD fire crew activities is not accurately considered in the traffic analysis. This error must be corrected and considered. The figure below from Appendix H is totally incorrect: The traffic flow into an out of the staging/parking area should not be combined with the Vinson/EBRPD driveway. The access to the staging/parking area must be kept separate from the Vinson/EBRPD driveway (but they may share the same left turn lane). The gates which will be required for both driveways should be at the road. How is a truck towing a horse trailer supposed T. Vinson Page 2 of 28 3 4
