The EIR was certified <br />on January 24, 2011. As required by the California Environmental Quality Act, the DTPP <br />EIR examined several traffic scenarios. Each of these scenarios builds on the last, to <br />provide decision makers with a comprehensive picture of potential traffic conditions. The <br />scenarios are as follows: <br /> <br />· Existing Conditions: This scenario examined how the intersections were <br />operating in the analysis phase leading up to plan adoption. For several <br />intersections, the counts were taken in 2008, while others were taken in 2010. <br /> <br />· Background Conditions: This scenario includes the existing traffic volumes and <br />the projected traffic volumes from projects that were approved but not yet built (at <br />the time of DTPP adoption). <br /> <br />· Project Conditions: This scenario includes Background Conditions and net new <br />traffic volumes expected from full build-out of the DTPP. As a result of the Project <br />Conditions analysis, the DTPP EIR identified significant and unavoidable traffic <br />impacts at the following intersections: <br />· El Camino Real/Whipple* <br />· El Camino Real/Jefferson <br />· Main/Woodside* <br />· Middlefield/Woodside* <br />· Broadway/Woodside* <br />· Veterans/Whipple* <br />8.A. - Page 22
