North/south arterial on west side of EDH Business Park

Additional arterials: The overall El Dorado Hills road network needs additional arterials to form a well-interconnected road network and to relieve traffic on arterials which are approaching overload during peak hours. Green Valley Road is now in that class.

Transit service to EDH Business Park

The County shall implement a mechanism for all new discretionary and ministerial development (which includes approved development that has not yet been built) that would access Latrobe Road or White Rock Road. This mechanism shall be designed to ensure that the 2025 p.m. peak hour volumes on El Dorado Hills Boulevard, Latrobe Road, and White Rock Road do not exceed the minimum acceptable LOS thresholds defined in Policies TC-Xa through TC-Xe with the circulation diagram improvements assumed in place. As such, the measure should consider a variety of methods that control or limit traffic. The County shall monitor peak hour traffic volumes and LOS beyond 2025 and, if necessary, shall implement growth control mechanisms in any part of the county where the LOS thresholds defined in the General Plan policies listed above cannot be maintained.

General Plan Policy TC-Xd defines the minimum acceptable LOS threshold to be LOS E in community regions. The EDH Citizens Alliance considers this to be an inappropriately low threshold. We have not formally adopted a recommendation for a different threshold, but it is reasonable to suggest that those whose interests we advocate for would accept a standard of LOS B. Some may be willing to accept LOS C, but we believe it is very unlikely that many would accept LOS D or worse as a reasonable standard.
