impacts created by the development program at Pleasant Hill BART, evaluate a
variety of circulation improvements, and evaluate land use alternatives being requested
or considered by property owners. The intent of the study is to identify the preferred
improvements that will mitigate impacts created in the Area by development. As a
separate issue, the study will identify mitigations for regional traffic that exists in the Area
that can be funded by Measure C as identified in the proposed Strategic Plan.
The study will utilize a process that is highly interactive with the community, as well as the
Pleasant Hill BART Steering Committee and its affiliated Technical Committee (TAC). The
initial steps will analyze many alternative circulation improvements. The Steering
Committee and the TAC have recommended that the traffic study initially evaluate a broad
range of circulation improvements in the area, including the David/Minert extension and
the urban diamond interchange at Treat-Geary/North Main, which the Board previously
removed from the study. These numerous alternatives will be screened down to a more
manageable number by using the TAC and the Steering Committee. A public outreach
program is also a central part of the work scope, given the level of interest in the issues.
