LEAD AGENCY:
Contra Costa County, City of Dublin
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Project B-8 is located along Camino Tassajara-Tassajara Road. This project consists of two project phases:
- Safety Improvement Project – Blackhawk Drive in Contra Costa County to Moller Ranch (Palisades Drive) in the City of Dublin
- Roadway Widening Project – Windemere Parkway to County Line (Contra Costa County) and Quarry Lane School/Wallis Ranch Drive to North Dublin Ranch Drive (City of Dublin)
Safety Improvement Project
The safety improvement project will widen Camino Tassajara from two to four lanes from East of Blackhawk Drive to Moller Ranch (Palisades Drive) in the City of Dublin. The project may also include realignment of various horizontal curves along the roadway. Interim improvements may include roadway widening to meet two-lane rural road standards with sufficient lane width and shoulder width to improve safety and allow for future bike lanes. The project will improve safety for motorists and create bicycle facilities consistent with the Contra Costa Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan and the City of Dublin Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The ultimate improvements will increase capacity along Camino Tassajara to help mitigate the impacts of local and regional growth in housing and employment within the Tri-Valley.
The roadway widening project consist of two segments:
- Segment A – Windemere Parkway to County line
- Segment B – Quarry Lane School/ Wallis Ranch Drive to North Dublin Ranch Drive
Segment A will widen and realign Camino Tassajara from two to four lanes. The horizontal curves at the Contra Costa/Alameda County Line will be realigned to increase safety along the roadway. Roadway shoulders will be widened to create bicycle facilities consistent with the Contra Costa Countywide Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. The ultimate improvements will increase capacity along Camino Tassajara/Tassajara Road to help mitigate the impacts of local and regional growth in housing and employment within the Tri-Valley.
Segment B will widen Tassajara Road from two to four lanes and will improve safety for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians, by providing sidewalks, bike lanes, and widening from two to four lanes. Roadway improvements will be consistent with the City of Dublin Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. The ultimate improvements will increase capacity along Tassajara Road to help mitigate the impacts of local and regional growth in housing and employment within the Tri-Valley.
The segment of Tassajara Road from the County line to North Dublin Ranch Drive in the City of Dublin is a RRS and was modeled in the 2008 Nexus Study. However, the segment was not included in previous TVTDF funding plans to receive funding. By identifying this segment of the project in the project description, this will enable the City of Dublin to utilize various revenue sources, including the 20% TVTDF return-to-source funds on this segment. This will not impact the projected revenue allocation or resulting benefit of the 2008 Nexus Study.
