Valley Link Rail Project: Dublin/Pleasanton to Mountain House Community Finding of No Significant Impact

Valley Link Rail Project: Dublin/Pleasanton to Mountain House Community Finding of No Significant Impact

The Project is located within part of the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) right-of-way along Interstate 580 (I-580) from the existing Dublin/Pleasanton Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Station in Alameda County until Greenville Road in Livermore, where the alignment leaves the Caltrans right-of-way and continues along Altamont Pass Road and the Alameda County Transportation Corridor through the terrain north of I-580. The Area of Potential Effects (APE) gets closer to I-580 again in the Mountain House Creek area and follows I-580 to its immediate north, crossing the California Aqueduct and the Delta-Mendota Canal and maintains its position north of Interstate 205 (I-205) into the Mountain House/Tracy area where it ends east of Mountain House Parkway in San Joaquin County. There is also a non-contiguous portion of the Area of Potential Effects south of West Schulte Road in Tracy that would be the site of the proposed Operations and Maintenance Facility / Operations Support Site (OMF/OSS). The TVSJVRRA proposes to construct a new passenger rail service along a 22-mile corridor in Northern California between the existing Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station in Alameda County and the proposed Mountain House Community Station in San Joaquin County. The Build Alternative would provide an all-day bi-directional passenger rail service at frequent intervals using zero-emission multiple unit vehicles.
