ASMPS Alternative A (maximum UCSC housing, Baseline, Eastern Access, Broadway-Live Oak) w/ 33% diversion of UCSC vehicles onto EA (estimated cost -- $42.1M) would require: • need right of way at Bay Mission • widen Bay from Mission to King • widen Bay from King to Escalona for center turn lane • Grade separation may be required at Mission-Chestnut • Additional improvements needed at Mission-Laurel, primarily for Laurel St. approaches • Eastern Access would not require converting Escalona, Storey, and King to one-way streets	Alternative A	road expansion UCSC congestion quality of life
ASMPS Alternative B (maximum UCSC housing, Baseline, no Eastern Access, no Broadway Live Oak) (estimated cost -- $54.4M) • widen Bay from King to Escalona for center turn lane • widen Bay at King for 4 through lanes and left-turn pockets • widen Bay from Mission to King for 4 through lanes • the left turn volume for Mission St. to Hwy 1 would represent a significant problem in the operation of this intersection in scenarios without the Eastern Access. A two-lane grade separation of this movement is assumed in the Roadway Improvements Program. This is a complicated major improvement which would involve considerable right-of-way and construction. • Additional improvements needed at Mission-Laurel, primarily for Laurel St. approaches • Either widen High Laurent (both ways) or signalize • Reconstruct King-Storey-Escalona-Highland-High • Widen King at Walnut • 3 lanes at Laurel N at Mission or 6 lanes and turn lanes thru intersection [This is the alternative preferred by the SC General Plan 1990-2005]	Alternative B	road expansion UCSC congestion quality of life
ASMPS Alternative E (extremely significant TSM (Transportation Systems Management), Baseline, no Eastern Access, no Broadway-Live Oak, Trip Reduction Ordinance, Travel Demand Management, Bikeways - Increase in bicycling, Mass Transit - Doubling of transit ridership, Substantial pricing of commercial and public parking) (estimated cost -- $116.0M) [This Alternative is not analyzed as a design option for its effectiveness. It consists simply of the assumption that the measures will have worked.]	Alternative E	mass transit road expansion UCSC congestion
An Eastern Access would divert traffic primarily from the High St. corridor. Under this scenario, the year 2005 projection for High St. traffic is approximately equivalent to existing traffic volumes. A number of improvements along High St. and Mission St. would be deferred. There would be a significant reduction in the improvement needed at Mission St. and Chestnut St. However, the 1-9 Interchange improvement may be more complicated. … The development … should be considered.
