2 Environments 7.B. - Page 99 <br /> Seaport Boulevard segments of the Bay Trail are complete (ABAG Gap Analysis, 2005). ABAG <br /> expects to complete the segments from Whipple Avenue to the pump station on Bair Island Road <br /> this year (City of Redwood City) and plans to extend the trail east to Blomquist Street in the near <br /> future. The proposed project would connect these Bayfront trails to an existing Class II bike lane <br /> that runs along Main Street. <br /> XV. RECREATION -- Potentially Less Than Less Than No <br /> Significant Significant Significant Impact <br /> Impact with Impact <br /> Mitigation <br /> Incorporation <br /> a) Would the project increase the use of ❑ ❑ ® ❑ <br /> existing neighborhood and regional parks <br /> or other recreational facilities such that <br /> substantial physical deterioration of the <br /> facility would occur or be accelerated? <br /> b) Does the project include recreational ❑ ❑ ® ❑ <br /> facilities or require the construction or <br /> expansion of recreational facilities which <br /> might have an adverse physical effect on <br /> the environment? <br /> a) Would the project increase the use of existing neighborhood and regional parks or other <br /> recreational facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the facility would occur <br /> or be accelerated? <br /> The project is expected to increase the use of the existing and planned bike paths and trails in the <br /> Bayfront area and the other recreational facilities at Bair Island and Seaport Boulevard. Increased <br /> access to these new facilities is consistent with local and regional recreational planning and would not <br /> result in substantial deterioration. The project would not cause a significant increase in the use of <br /> existing neighborhood/regional parks or community facilities within the developed portions of the <br /> City south of US 101. (Less than Significant Impact) <br /> b)Does the project include recreational facilities or require the construction or expansion of <br /> recreational facilities which might have an adverse physical effect on the environment? <br /> The proposed joint-use path is a recreational facility,but it would not have an adverse effect on the <br /> environment. As indicated in other sections of this document,the path would be located along an <br /> existing disturbed trail and would include measures to protect the sensitive environmental resources <br /> in the area,including Best Management Practices for protection of Redwood Creek and avoidance <br /> and minimization measures for the special status species that may occur in the adjacent natural areas. <br /> 2-59 US 101 Pedestrian Undercrossing and Bair <br /> Island Road Storm Drain Pump Station Project <br />
