It should be noted that modification to the. westbound approach may require widening of the Whipple Avenue overpass and will likely require coordination with Caltrans. While these mitigation measures are technically feasible to reduce significant cumulative impacts at the Veterans Boulevard/Whipple Avenue intersection to less than significant levels, they do require property acquisition and widening of a freeway overpass which would significantly increase project costs and require extensive coordination with State agencies. The City Council may ultimately determine that these complicating factors render Mitigation 7 -16 infeasible, and therefore find Impact 7 -16 to be significant and unavoidable.
