File Number: 12 -372 <br />project because the dedicated lanes provide for consistent travel times. <br />This option provides for new traffic signals at Belleview Drive and Sunnyside Drive, and a <br />pedestrian signal at Farrelly Drive. These proposed signals would improve the safety of <br />pedestrian crossings and allow for protected turn phases for vehicles to increase traffic safety. <br />Option 1 has the most turn restrictions. <br />This option also prevents left turns onto East 14th Street from Garcia Avenue, Stoakes <br />Avenue, and Cambridge Avenue. It further prevents left turns from East 14th Street onto <br />eastbound Broadmoor Boulevard and Cambridge Avenue and westbound Farrelly Drive, <br />Garcia Avenue, and Stoakes Avenue. The FEIS /FEIR estimated that at the most <br />approximately one vehicle per minute will use alternate streets as a result of the turn <br />restrictions. See Exhibit 1. <br />Option 2 - Issues: <br />This option balances BRT performance with motorist convenience. The dedicated bus lanes <br />would begin /end north of Broadmoor Boulevard with transition lanes between West <br />Broadmoor Boulevard and Garcia Avenue. <br />Only a new pedestrian signal at Farrelly Drive would be installed. The two signals included in <br />Option1 at Belleview Drive and Sunnyside Drive would not be installed. This reduces the <br />opportunity for safer pedestrian crossing locations on East 14th Street and protected left turns <br />for traffic safety. <br />Turn restrictions would be reduced for this option. Left turns onto East 14th Street would <br />continue at all currently allowed locations. Left turn restrictions from East 14th Street onto <br />side streets would be reduced to eastbound Broadmoor Boulevard and westbound Farrelly <br />Drive. These turn restrictions would be significantly reduced from the previous Option 1 and <br />therefore would reduce diverted traffic onto the adjoining side streets to just the specific <br />streets that would support eastbound Broadmoor Boulevard and westbound Farrelly Drive <br />traffic. AC Transit indicated that it is possible that left turns from East 14th Street to <br />eastbound Broadmoor Boulevard could be allowed; however, either BRT efficiency would be <br />reduced or the affected intersections' levels of service would decline dependent upon on how <br />it was accomplished. A condition of approval requiring accommodation for a southbound East <br />14th Street left turn to eastbound Broadmoor Boulevard could be included with this LPA <br />option. <br />Resolution Options <br />Despite their shortcomings, Options 1 and 2 are both viable and are adequately covered by <br />the environmental document, but Option 3 may not serve the long term interests of the City of <br />San Leandro. Forwarding Option 3 as the LPA would essentially exclude San Leandro from <br />participating in the BRT project in the short term and perhaps remove any flexibility for <br />participation in the long term. If the City proceeded with Option 3, San Leandro would not <br />benefit from the improvements at bus stations and the potential goodwill from being <br />associated with such a groundbreaking project. Many cities around the world suggest that <br />having a BRT may be an effective economic development tool to attract forward- looking <br />businesses. <br />City of San Leandro Page 5 Printed on 711012012 <br />
