EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Several development applications have been -or will soon, be proposed in the Highway 101 corridor in the vicinity of Rainier Avenue. Each may have an impact on the feasibility of achieving a cross -town connector /interchange. In an effort to give direction to developers, the City Manager and staff are requesting that the discusson of the cross-town connector /interchange and the local roadway alignment options be scheduled for a public hearing on May 3, 2004. Preliminary analysis by the consultant teams have identified three local alignments for improvements associated with extending Rainier Avenue westerly from McDowell. Boulevard. North to Petaluma Boulevard North: • 1. Rainier North (original Plan Line) • 2. Rainier Village Drive (with local connection road) • 3. Rainier South (major roadway with Shasta connection) Following the approval of the original Rainier Avenue extension,project, in 1994, the City adopted a Precise Plan Line (October 1995) to identify the area needed to bez set aside, as development occurs, for the future alignment of the planned roadway. As projects continue to be proposed. for entitlement or submitted for preliminary review (Le. factory outlet expansion, Lands of Johnson at north end of Graylawn Avenue, Lands of Johnson located on the east side of Petaluma River— north of Lynch Creek, DSL project on McDowell Blvd. North at. Rainier, Petaluma Boulevard North projects) there remains the issue of where the road will align, assuming,that Rainier remains in the General Plan as a future roadway need. Although the project was eventually removed from the approved ;list of Capital Improvement Projects, the .Plan Line remained 'as an adopted Council decision. Should an alignment be desired, other than within the adopted Plan Line area, an amendment to the Plan Line will - be necessary. The General Plan. 20.04 -2025 Land Use and Mobility Alternatives Report provides for community consideration of Rainier as a mobility improvement as follows: • Alt: A: Rainier Avenue cross -town connection and full Highway 101 Interchange • Alt. B: Rainier Avenue cross -town connection. • Alt. C: RainierAyenue cross -town connection. Having Rainier Avenue as a cross -town connection in all three Land Use: and Mobility Alternatives does is not preclude a decision to not include the roadway improvements or to direct the inclusion of any other alternative roadway alignment within the Preferred Plan. The Preferred Plan, to be utilized as a foundation document for the, new General Plan, will include those components of the three Alternatives that are selected by the .City Council, as well as other specific direction °not yet addressed within an Alternative. 2. BACKGROUND In the mid 1960's, shortly ,after the building of Highway 101, a connection between, Rainier Avenue a � McDowell Boulevard North, and Rainier (.with a .Highway interchange) was included in the City' General Plan. In 1994 the City Council approved a project design alternative for Rainier Extension, including an overpass structure with an elevated structure over the railroad and River. Subsequently in 1999, the City Council deleted the project from the Capital Improvement, Project List and suspended funding for- the preliminary design work. General. Plan 2004 =2025 community visioning workshops* on mobility "refleeted the continued divided opinions on desired long -term roadway and pathway improvement needs. The :General Plan preparation process included ;the: development of three land use alternatives, and the accompanying roadway and other mobility improvements. The completed traffic modeling work provides information on potential measures Of effectiveness by comparing° the ' cross -town connector scenarios; including: travel time, travel distance, volume lo- capacity; and, qualitative bicycle and pedestrian analysis. The very limited grid connections between east ,and west, for all modes of transportation, create -burdens on the existing network that exceed their design capacity. Over the last 20 years, the increase of traffic volume has seen the lengthening of the peak hour impacts. Thus, what used to be traffic congestion for I hour- twice a day now extends for 3+ hours for a PM peak period. .Due to locations of schools, playfields, shopping opportunities and freeway access; all of which. center around East Washington Street, creates the 'reality that we exceed the design capacity of several roadways during those peak periods. At other times of the day, we often enjoy the "10- minute town" travel experience. With growth we will continue to utilize the existing and new streets during the peak hour, experiencing congestion n at certain tirne of the day. The Council and community has, in the past, indicated their lacy of willin g ess to design and build roadways -to handle the peak load, deciding instead to accept. congestion to preserve °the sense of a mid -size City scale to the streets. Increasing capacity can be achieved in a number of ways, including: • Widen theistreets'to be adequate to handle,peak design capacity: • Provide alternative routes so that the volume is spread over multiple streets • Provide attractive .alternative modes of transportation (free transit, connecting bike and pedestrian pathways). 3. ALTERNATIVES A. Set a Public Hearing date of May '3, 2004, for the discussion and determination of the., Cross - Town Cohnection/Highway 101 Interchange local roadway alignment options for inclusion in the General Plan 2004 -2025 Preferred-Plan B. Set a specific date for the holding of a'Public Hearing for the discussion and determination of the Cross -Town Connections Highway 101 Interchange alignment options. C. Decline to set a hearing. 4. FINANCIAL.IMPAGTS Dependent upon City Council direction, •to be determined. 5. CONCLUSION Holding a public hearing, on the issue, and subsequently providing specific :direction on, the preferred alignment will allow the; Manager and staff to provide direction to pending development proposals as to preservation of anticipated right- of-way need's and to. require mitigation measures for participating in the fiscal impacts for projected improvements.
