Parking <br />In many circumstances, the tradeoffs pose a number of challenges that require their <br />own set of strategies, as will be discussed below. The goal was to ensure that in <br />prioritizing one use over another, the result wasn't a win/lose circumstance. Rather, a <br />set of mitigations were developed to offset potential negative impacts of these tradeoffs. <br />The desire was to balance the needs of all users so that there is something in the Plan <br />for everyone. The Plan therefore would create a comprehensive approach with <br />strategies to improve all modes of travel on and across EI Camino Real. Below is an <br />overview of the approach and key considerations: <br />Mobility. EI Camino Real is a key thoroughfare that supports regional and local needs. <br />The CAG made it clear that mobility, or moving people efficiently through the Corridor, is <br />the highest priority. In evaluating the tradeoffs for the various modes of travel, the focus <br />was on how to make improvements while maintaining throughput. <br />Drivinq: Driving, particularly in single- f <br />occupant vehicles, is the dominant mode <br />of travel on EI Camino Real. It is a <br />realistic use for the roadway today and in <br />the near future. However driving is not a <br />pleasant experience due to traffic and <br />congestion, especially during peak <br />hours. In developing the Corridor Plan, <br />the consensus was that any proposed <br />changes should not worsen these <br />conditions. The Plan recommends <br />maintaining the existing number of travel <br />lanes and reducing bottlenecks to <br />maintain vehicle throughput. <br />o. I i)CC_CLT INTLDCFfTI(LUC MAD <br />
