programs/hours to reduce peak-hour travel, 6)Transit Oriented Development(TOD)guidelines for neighborhood centers as MHMP policy, 7) community contributions to an Altamont Station study and development for rail use, 8)an annual Transportation Monitoring Program to allow revisions to transportation mitigation measures,and 9)a new implementation measure for the MHMP addressing the need for a telecommuting center within Mountain House. The MHMP does address 1)a monitoring program,2)contributions to the Altamont Station, 3)promotion of telecommuting,and 4)a Transportation Demand Management(TDM)program.A TDM program was prepared for Mountain House in 1997.The TDM program is to be administered by the MHCSD until a Transportation Management Association is formed and is to be updated every five years. Mitigation Measure 4.12-1(h)requires MHCSD to conduct annual traffic monitoring and to review/report on the progress of the transportation improvements required as part of MHMP implementation.In addition,the County can adopt additional findings at that time related to whether the adopted trigger points for transportation improvements and the project's fair share of costs should be revised to ensure the timely construction of needed improvements as a condition of further development approvals.As of September 2004,the monitoring report includes traffic counts and LOS analysis on all community gateways and other affected county roads.With the development of more homes,the report will be expanded to include more detailed analysis of the adequacy of the near-term trigger points and report on the progress toward implementation of the required transportation improvements. ► Mitigation Measure M4.12-2.The MHMP was amended to address reducing freeway traffic by 1) contributions to widening of I-205 or contributions to a parallel east-west roadway north of I-205,2) widening of Altamont Pass Road if consistent with Alameda County policy, and 3)Public Financing Plan adjustments. ► Mitigation Measure M4.12-3.Table 9.1 of the MHMP was adjusted to address freeway and rail improvements needed for buildout of the community. Mitigation Measure M4.124.Table 9.2 of the NURVIP was adjusted to address arterial road improvements. Text was added to the MHMP to address arterial improvements. ► Mitigation Measure M4.12-5.This mitigation measure addressed internal roads.Amendments to the MHMP were made to show improvements/widening of local roads within the community.The measure included s adopting LOS D for gateway roadways in the MHMP area.Gateway roadway segments include Grant Line Road from the county line to Mountain House Parkway,Mountain House Parkway from Byron Road to I-205, and Byron Road from the county line to Wicklund Road. Mitigation Measure M4.12-6.This mitigation measure addressed shared parking opportunities. Only a portion of the recommended text changes were made to the MHMP. Mitigation Measure M4.12-7.The MHMP was amended to address regional bicycle facilities and the project's fair share cost to implementing connections to such facilities. ► Mitigation Measure M4.12-8.The MHMP was amended to address safe rail crossings for vehicles, pedestrians,and bicyclists. ► Mitigation Measure M4.12-9.The current MHMP shows closing of the rail crossings at Wicklund Road and Henderson Road.This will eliminate the short distance for weaving and merging at the current location.The new crossing would be located at Mountain House Parkway when it is extended to the north of Byron Road. According to the MHMP EIR,"As an alternative to widening the I-205 freeway beyond 6 lanes,the project sponsor shall contribute a fair share to the development of a parallel east-west roadway system north of I-205, College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III Draft EIR EDAW San Joaquin County 4.11-13 Transportation
