RE: P.H.BART STATION AREA SPECIFIC PLAN - TREAT BOULEVARD
Dear Supervisor DeSaulnier:
This is a response to your letter requesting Walnut Creek City Council's position on widening Treat
Boulevard to four eastbound lanes between Cherry Lane and Bancroft Road as a traffic mitigation
measure for additional development in the Specific Plan Area. At its October 21, 1997 meeting, the
City Council decided against widening Treat Boulevard between Cherry Lane and Bancroft Road.
This decision was based on the negative impacts to adjacent properties and the loss of mature
landscapin& We compared these impacts with the traffic benefits the fourth lane would offer and the
cost of the improvements: We-believe the neighborhood impacts outweigh the traffic benefits.
Howevei r, the City Council did decide to reconsider a new design for adding an eastbound
right-turn only lane at Bancroft Road. Our traffic analysis showed that the right-turn only lane is
equal to the full fourth lane in reducing projected congestion levels on Treat Boulevard. We have
asked our staff to see if they can design an alternative that would reduce neighborhood impacts yet
still provide the turn lane. The Council will consider the�alternative, if one, later this year. A project
such as the one we are hoping to design will then provide a traffic mitigation measure for some level
of development in the P.H. BART Station Specific Plan Area.
The City's comments on the Draft EIR will be forthcoming. We wanted to give you this information
as soon as the Council took action on the widening issue..
Sincerely yours,
kt
