APPROVING LIVORNA ROAD/DANVILLE BLVD LEFT TURN LANE

III. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The project is needed to provide safety for vehicles turning left at the intersection.
The project has been determined to be in compliance with the General Plan. A Negative Declaration
of environmental significance pertaining to this project was published January 29, 1990 with no protest,
and the Board has considered the negative declaration together with all comments received during the
public review period.
The project was originally proposed as a two phase signal. Staff from the Public Works Department
attended meetings of the Association for the Preservation of Danville Blvd. (APDB) and the Alamo
Improvement Association (AIA). The APDB expressed concern over the number of signal heads and
the amount of light at the intersection, due to aesthetic reasons. The AIA recommended that the
project be upgraded from a 2-phase signal to a 3-phase signal for improved safety. The project will
be designed to include three phase operation (left turn arrow for southbound traffic on Danville
Boulevard.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the project will result in a delay of design and construction and may jeopardize
funding.
