SCOPE OF WORK REDWOOD Crrv DOWNTOWN PRECISE Pt.AN In addition, freeway segments and ramps within the project study area (Highway 101, 1-280, and SR 84) will also be evaluated for potential impacts. Task 3 Documentation of Transportation Assumptions Early in the process, it is extremely useful to clearly document the direction of the traffic analysis and to distribute this documentation to the appropriate reviewing agencies for comment. KORVE will prepare a memorandum outlining land use and tr;ansportation network assumptions for the horizon year; data sources; forecast methodology; approach to and, the level of analysis for altemative scenarios; and an outline of the traffic report. Another key piece of information which will be documented in this memorandum will be the significance criteria and analysis procedures to be applied to each intersection according to which jurisdiction controls the intersection. Other significant criteria for parking, bicycle routes, pedestrian ways, and transit impacts will also be noted. Task 4 Project Site Review The KORVE project manager and support engineering staff will conduct a field review of the project area and the surrounding transportation system. Although the KORVE personnel are thoroughly familiar with the project site from our prior experience in the area, this field review will document any recent changes in roadway geometry, traffic control, or other characteristics of the transportation system. In addition, the field review will document existing operational constraints such as queuing or bottlenecks at the study intersections. Task 5 Establish Future Baseline Traffic Volumes The future baseline traffic volumes will be based on a future year as established by the City. These future volumes will take into consideration any planned development projects in Redwood City, San Mateo County and the surrounding area. The future baseline traffic volumes will form the basis for the Near Term or Background Condition. Task 6 Develop Project Traffic Projections Traffic volume projections will be developed for the AM and PM peak hour based on the project description. The current project description calls for four buildout scenarios (1 O-year horizon) to be analyzed (see attachment). Project traffic will be assigned to the surrounding roadway network based on logical circulation patterns. The following analysis scenarios will be evaluated: 1) Existing Conditions (2005) - An analysis of the existing transportation conditions. 2) Near Term (No Project) - Existing conditions plus projected volumes from approved but not yet constructed development in the City. 3A) Near Term With Project (Theoretical Maximum Build-out 3,644 units) - Traffic from the proposed project will be added to #2 above to determine the effects of implementing the project. 3B) Near Term With Project (Reduced Project Alternative 2,419 units) - Traffic from the proposed project will be added to #2 above to determine the effects of implementing the project. Cumulative Without Project - This year 2025 cumulative analysis will included pending projects in the immediate project area. 4) KaNe Engineering, Inc. 2 December 5, 2005 ..........~"....""..
