4.7 – Transportation Draft Environmental Impact Report February 2021 14800 W. Schulte Road Logistics Center 4.7-2 Valpico Road is a continuous roadway extending from Lammers Road on the west side of the City to Chrisman Road on the east side of the City. The roadway is a two-lane undivided roadway from Lammers Road to Cagney Way, where it becomes a four-lane divided arterial up to Tracy Boulevard. Based on the City of Tracy’s Code of Ordinances, the speed limit from the west City limits to Tracy Boulevard is 40 mph. Hansen Road is a north/south divided four-lane road that connects from Schulte Road in the Project vicinity and extends to beyond I-205 to the north. Based on the City of Tracy’s Code of Ordinances, the speed limit from Schulte Road to I-205 is 50 mph. The divided four-lane portion of Hansen Road north of Schulte Road was recently renamed to Iron Horse Parkway, and south of Schulte Road is still a two-lane undivided road. Corral Hollow Road is a north/south roadway that extends from the intersection of Corral Hollow and Lammers Road, which is approximately 2 miles north of the northern City limits in a rural area, to past the I-580 ramps in the south. Based on the City of Tracy’s Code of Ordinances, the speed limit from Schulte Road to 11th Street is 45 mph. Corral Hollow Road continues west past the I-580 ramps to the City of Livermore, eventually becoming Tesla Road. It is a two-lane, undivided roadway from Lammers Road to Naglee Road; a four-lane, divided roadway from Naglee Road to West Schulte Road; and a two-lane, undivided roadway from Schulte Road to the I-580 ramps. Existing Pedestrian Facilities Pedestrian facilities consist of crosswalks, sidewalks, pedestrian signals, off-street paths, and other facilities that provide safe and convenient routes for pedestrians to access destinations such as institutions, businesses, public transportation, and recreation facilities. In the Project vicinity, due the rural nature of the area, Schulte Road lacks sidewalks, crosswalks, and street lighting. There are no bus stops in the immediate vicinity of the Project site. Existing Bicycle Facilities Bicycle paths, lanes, and routes are typical examples of bicycle transportation facilities, which are defined by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) as being in one of the following four classes (Caltrans 2002): • Class I – Provides a completely separated facility designed for the exclusive use of bicyclists and pedestrians with crossing points minimized. • Class II – Provides a designated lane for the exclusive or semi-exclusive use of bicycles with through travel by motor vehicles or pedestrians prohibited, but with vehicle parking and cross- flows by pedestrians and motorists permitted. • Class III – Provides a route designated by signs or pavement marki ngs and shared with pedestrians and motorists. • Class IV – A separated bikeway, often referred to as a cycle track or protected bike lane, is for the exclusive use of bicycles, physically separated from motor traffic with a vertical feature. In the Project vicinity, per the adopted 2010 San Joaquin County Bicycle Master Plan, Schulte Road is an existing Class III Bike Route between Hansen Road and Lammers Road. In addition, both Hansen and Lammers Roads are shown as proposed Class III routes south of Schulte Road, and Schulte Road is proposed as a Class II Bike Lane from Hansen Road west to the old Mountain House Parkway (County of San Joaquin 2010). Due to the City of Tracy’s annexations since the 2010 Bicycle Master Plan’s adoption, some of the County of San Joaquin (County) proposed routes may have been superseded by planned bike facilities in the Cordes Ranch Specific Plan.
