STREET I:IP?tOVE.`SEVT POLICY FOR THE c2EaCH OF STEti'EitS CcZEEfi
BOULEVdRD BET.v~E:I RIDGEWAY DRIVE ~lQD HUBB 30r1D
Jn February ?1, 1978, the City Cuuncil adopted a ytreec plan line for Stevens
Creek Boulevard for che reach oi roadway between Ridgeway Drive (private road
ser~ing the De Anza Oaks residencial community) and Bubb Road. The plan lfne
describes the future right oi way width and alignmenc for Stevens Creek 9oula-
vard. The plan line is described in detail by a document entitled "Stevens
Creek Boulevard Plan Line Study: action Plan".
The purpose of this document is to outline the scope and timing of improvemeats
ior che subject reach of Stevens Creek Soulevard.
The plan line provides for a four lane alignmenc oi Stevens Creek Boulevard
from Foochill Boulevard to Bubb Road. Aside from a four lane configuration
from Foothill Boulevard/Stevens Czeek Boulevard intersection, the alignment
and width of Stevens C~eek doulevard crest oi Foothill Boulevard is designated
for two lanes. The width and alignment for four lanes east of Foo[hill Boule-
vard was based upon predlcted traffic increases for the year 1995. Current
trafric levels do aoc warzant widening of Stevens Creek Boulevard ior the
suhject reach. In order to retain an op[ion for a two lane roadcray, the Cit.~
will aot actively pursue widening projects until warranted by future traffic
increase or safety related needs.
:~lthough the City will not actively pursue roadway videning per se, the City
Wi12 pursue improvements to complete sections of roadway where the basic
character of the roadway is established and vhere safety L~nprovements dictate.
For the purpose of this policy document, the scope and timing of street improve-
aents for various reaches of Stever.s Creek Boulevard are as follows:
RE.~CH 1: BUBB ROAD TO OR~,vGE aVE::L'E

and pavement and curbing on the south side in front o£ the Tap Room. The City
is in the process of implementing a"Federal Grade Crossing Protection Project"
to improve the Southern Pacific rail crossing. 'R~e grade crossing improvements
are scheduled for completion in fiscal year 1978-79.
Because of the need to provide a transition between the six lane roadwav section
east oi the railroad and the existing face of curb section west of 2mperial, the
City shall utilize local funds to augment the crossing protection grant in orde:
to iully S,mprove the street section. The street shall be fully improved and
