Financial Plan -- <br /> <br /> 12. Express Bus Service. Providing the capital cost of adding nine express bus mutes <br /> connecting the Tri-Valley with surrounding communities and t3idng advantage of <br /> the freeway HOV lanes. -- <br /> <br /> The following three projects are also included in the transportation plan but are <br /> preliminarily considered by the TVTC to be of lower priority for the 2010 p~enning _ <br /> horizon. These projects are considered important to the future of transportation in the <br /> Tri-Valley but are not needed to meet the Transportation Service Objectives through <br /> 2010. -- <br /> <br /> 1. 1-580 HOVLanes. Completion of the HOV project on 1-580 from Livemore Avenue <br /> to the San Joaquin County border. _ <br /> <br /> 2. 1-680 HOV Lanes. Completion of the 1-680 HOV Lane project from Alcosta Boule- <br /> vard to Route 84. This would create a system of continuous HOV lanes on 1-680 <br /> through the Tri-Valley. ' <br /> <br /> 3. 1-580/1-680 Interchange. Construction of the northbound to westbound flyover <br /> ramp. This improvement has been identified by Caltrans as the next step in - <br /> improving the 1-580/I-680 interchange. This second flyover ramp would eliminate <br /> all existing weaving sections. <br /> <br /> Funding for Regional Projects <br /> <br /> Most of the regional projects have some funding already committed (see Table 8-3). <br /> Additional funds are needed to make up the shortfall. This plan does not rely on <br /> Alameda County Tier 2 funding becoming available. The total shortfall is $311.1 <br /> million. <br /> <br /> The regional improvements are all necessary to serve new development. Because <br /> Tier 2 funding is uncertain and because the regional projects are vital to safe and <br /> efficient transportation in the Tri-Valley, a subregional impact fee should be adopted <br /> to cover the shortfall. <br /> <br />Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. 151 <br /> <br /> <br />
