SON <br />IDENTIFIED IMPACT <br />RELATED MITIGATION MEASURE <br />(CONDITION OF APPROVAL) <br />Impl. <br />Entity <br />Type of Impl. <br />Action <br />Monitoring and <br />Verification Entity <br />Timing <br />Requirements <br />Signature <br />Date <br />the grade separation of this railroad crossing <br />has been identified as an objective in the <br />Redwood City Strategic General Plan <br />(2) Widening of the Eastbound Intersection <br />Approach to Achieve Acceptable LOS <br />During Both the AM and PM Peak Hours. <br />For the intersection to operate at an <br />"acceptable" LOS (D or better) under <br />Cumulative (2020) With Project conditions <br />without a railroad grade separation at <br />Whipple Avenue, provide a dedicated right <br />turn lane, two through lanes, and a <br />dedicated left turn lane on the eastbound <br />approach to the intersection (currently, the <br />eastbound approach is configured with one <br />shared through/left -turn lane and one shared <br />through /right -turn lane). In addition, change <br />the east -west left turn signal phasing from <br />split (i.e., shared with opposing through <br />traffic) to protected (i.e., exclusive). With <br />these lane additions and signal phasing <br />modifications, the intersection would be <br />expected to operate acceptably (LOS D) <br />during the AM and PM peak hours under <br />Cumulative (2020) With Project conditions. <br />Widening the eastbound approach would <br />tend to increase peak eastbound traffic <br />volumes on a residential street and would <br />require careful design to provide enough <br />physical clearance to allow opposing <br />eastbound and westbound left turns to <br />proceed simultaneously. Additionally, both <br />of the mitigation alternatives discussed <br />above are considered to be infeasible due to <br />right -of -way and physical constraints. <br />Therefore, the addition of project traffic to <br />the El Camino Real/Whipple Avenue <br />intersection is expected to result in a <br />significant unavoidable cumulative <br />impact (i.e., would require City adoption of a <br />Statement of Overriding Considerations). <br />Legend: Applicant = project applicant, City = City of Redwood City <br />Page 24 May 18, 2004 <br />y WP9.016451 MMCHT. 645 <br />
