BACKGROUND: The conditions of approval for SUB 7984 require Shapell Industries to reconstruct and realign Dougherty Road, from the northerly San Ramon City Limits to Bollinger Canyon Road. The newly aligned road will be graded for the ultimate alignment and will provide four through lanes of traffic, including left-turn lanes, medians, bike lanes, sidewalks, landscaping, and.traffic signals. The proposed improvements will also improve traffic circulation and public safety for the Coyote Creek Elementary School. To construct the ultimate roadway, approximately 250,000 cubic yards of embankment fill will need to be placed for the new Dougherty Road alignment. These embankment fills will be approximately 20-feet in height. The Public Works Department has reviewed the various construction phasing options with the applicant to determine how the improvements can be constructed most efficiently and provide the least amount of inconvenience to the traveling public and the adjacent elementary school. One of the reviewed options was to partially leave the road open to daily traffic and simultaneously place roadway fill adjacent to the traffic lanes. Each new phase would require grading, interim paving or surfacing, and the placement of interim striping and signs. This type of construction phasing could extend the construction schedule up to a year. Additionally, the public would be traveling through an active construction zone and would be subject to delays. We would also expect much of the traffic to divert to other routes during this time period.
