06/07/2004 Z. Cumulative (2020) Impact on U.S. 101 Southbound Mixed -Flow Lanes, SR 92 to Whipple Road Segment — PM Peak Hour Potential Impact: By 2020, assuming the addition of traffic generated by all other approved and pending projects in the vicinity, the Project is expected to increase traffic volumes by more than one percent of capacity on U.S. 101 Southbound Mixed -Flow Lanes, SR 92 to Whipple Road segment during the PM peak hour, a period during which traffic volume would already be expected to exceed capacity on this segment even absent the addition of Project - generated traffic (Impact 7 -25). Mitigation: The project applicant shall design and implement a comprehensive TDM program meeting the criteria set forth in Mitigation 7 -2 (Mitigation 7 -25). Findings: Mitigation 7 -25 is feasible and will help to partially mitigate Impact 7 -25. However, mitigation of this impact to a less- than - significant level would require the addition of another southbound through lane to this freeway segment, which is not feasible because this freeway widening would require multiple approvals from multiple jurisdictions beyond the authority of the City and would require resources beyond the capacity of any individual development project or the City. Therefore, the cumulative impact described above is significant and unavoidable. AA. Cumulative (2020) Impact on U.S. 101 Southbound Mixed -Flow Lanes, Whipple Avenue to Woodside Road and Woodside Road to Marsh Road Segments — PM Peak Hour Potential Impact: By 2020, assuming the addition of traffic generated by all other approved and pending projects in the vicinity, the Project is expected to increase traffic volumes by more than one percent of capacity on U.S. 101 Southbound Mixed -Flow Lanes, Whipple Avenue to Roadside Road and Woodside Road to Marsh Road segments, during the PM peak hour, a period during which traffic volume would already be expected to exceed capacity on these segments even absent the addition of Project - generated traffic (Impact 7 -26).
