<br /> 78 <br /> ATTACHMENT "All Page 23 <br /> AL TERNATIVE A <br /> Woodside Road/US 101 Interchange <br /> West side of 101: <br /> . Maintains 5-way intersection at BroadwaylWoodside (including <br /> southbound 101 off-ramp) <br /> . Maintains Veterans Boulevard connection to Woodside Road. <br /> . Widens BroadwaylWoodside/Southbound 101 Off-ramp intersection to increase <br /> traffic capacity; 14 lanes across (total in both directions) on leg north of <br /> Broadway for combined Woodside Road and southbound off-ramp. <br /> - Takes longer time for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross wider road. <br /> - Long delays between greenlwalk signals due to extra off~ramp signal. <br /> - Potential safety issues due to wide intersection. large pavement area. <br /> . Southbound 101 loop off-ramp to Seaport Boulevard reconfigured to intersect <br /> Woodside Road directly opposite Veterans Boulevard, with standard traffic signal <br /> control of intersection including right turns from off-ramp toward Seaport <br /> Boulevard. <br /> - Provides direct access from southbound 101 off-ramp to Veterans <br /> Boulevard <br /> - Eliminates existing weaving traffic problems on eastbound Woodside! <br /> Seaport between the existing uncontrolled southbound 101 loop off-ramp <br /> and the loop on-ramp to northbound 101. <br /> East side of 101, identical for both Alternatives: <br /> . Woodside realigned to intersect Seaport Boulevard at nearly a right-angle. <br /> creating a new 3-way T-intersection along with the northbound 101 off-ramp, with <br /> traffic signal control. <br /> . Connection between Woodside and Seaport requires left or right turn at the <br /> signalized intersection, instead of existing continuous Woodside-Seaport <br /> roadway. <br /> . Northbound 101 off-ramp connects directly opposite Seaport Boulevard at the <br /> intersection, while access from the ramp to Woodside Road requires a left turn. <br /> Replaces existing northbound 101 off-ramp connections that separately merge <br /> into Woodside Road and Seaport Boulevard <br /> . The new T -intersection allows for a possible future fourth leg, if a new roadway is <br /> ever built extending southeasterly along the Bayfront. <br /> .. Northbound '101 on"'ramps connecting from Woodside and Seaport are very <br /> similar to existing ramps. <br /> - -- <br />
