Recommended mprovement Ran <br /> <br /> Based on the results of the alternatives testing, the TAC and the TVTC decided to <br /> focus the ultimate improvement plan on the arterial corridors within Tri-Valley rather <br /> than the Tri-Valley gateways. The plan must address the primary question: What can <br /> we do to achieve the best level of service within the Tri-Valley? . <br /> <br /> Three contributing factors influence the ability to respond to this question. <br /> <br /> · Financial constraints. <br /> · Physical limitations within corridors. <br /> · Development pattern. <br /> <br /> Financial resources for all projects are limited. The Measure C and Measure B sales <br /> tax programs provide substantial funding for specific projects in Tri-Valley. Other <br /> projects must compete for the relatively small pot of public funds. Developer fees, <br /> which have an upper limit, could help supplement public funds. Future sales tax or <br /> gasoline tax initiatives may or may not be successful. <br /> <br /> Expansion of major corridors within Tri-Valley is limited due to existing development <br /> and terrain. These limitations hinder the development of transportation corridors <br /> other than the existing 1-680 and 1-580 corridors. <br /> <br /> Development patterns within Tri-Valley have been geared toward relatively low <br /> housing and commercial densities. These patterns are expected to continue in the <br /> future. This development pattern is impossible to serve thoroughly with transit, given <br /> realistic funding expectations. <br /> <br />~ Barton-Aschrnan Associates, Inc. 122 <br /> <br /> <br />
