7A Page 28 ^ southbound US 101 (mixed flow) lanes between Woodside Road and Marsh Road (AM)--a VIC ratio change from 1.14 to of 1.20; and ^ southbound US 101 (mixed flow) lanes between Whipple Avenue and Woodside Road (PM)--a V/C ratio change from 1.15 to 1.18. These changes in freeway segment operations would represent a significant impact.. Mitigation 9-10. Mitigation of these effects to ales-than-significant level would require construction of an additional mixed flow lane on US 101. This widening is not deemed feasible by the City due to right-of-way constraints and cost. Therefore, the impact is expected to remain significant and unavoidable. Findings: The changes or alterations proposed by mitigation measure 9- 10 are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Caltrans and not the City of Redwood City. Caitrans can and should adopt proposed mitigation measure 9- 10. Impact 9-11: Project Contribution to Cumulative Impacts at the Alameda de las Pulgas/Woodside Road Intersection. During the AM and PM peak hours, the addition of project traffic would reduce the level of service (AM peak hour} and increase overall delay by more than five (5) seconds (AM and PM peak hours) at this intersection, which would already be operating at LOS E/F. This effect would represent a significant impact.. Mitigation 9-11. Add a second left-turn lane to the southbound approach of Alameda de las Pulgas. This change would improve operation to LOS D in both peak periods. The project would require median removal and lane restriping. Although this project may be added to Redwood City's Traffic impact Fee (TIF} program in a future update, there is currently no funding for this project. Therefore, the mitigation is not assured and this impact is considered to be significant and unavoidable. Finding: This City Council of the City of Redwood City finds this impact to be significant and unavoidable. Even though this project may be added to Redwood City's Traffic Impact Fee (TF!) program in a future update, there is currently no funding for this project. This impact is overridden by project benefits as set forth in the statement of overriding considerations. Impact 9-12: Project Contribution to Cumulative impacts at the Ei Camino and Whipple Avenue Intersection. During the AM and PM peak hours the addition of project traffic would increase average delay by more than five (5) seconds at this intersection, which would already be operating at LOS F. This effect would represent a significant impact. AttylResolReso.1683 ~ ~ 030707
