Transportation and Circulation <br />A. Traffic Impacts <br />Potential Impact 9-1: Impact on Broadway/Woodside Road (SR 84} <br />Intersection-- <br />Maximum Intensity Precise Plan Alternative. During the AM peak hour, the <br />Maximum Intensity project traffic increment would reduce the level of service <br />(LOS) and increase average delay by more than five (5) seconds at the <br />Broadway/Woodside Road intersection. During the PM peak hour, the Maximum <br />Intensity project would increase the average delay at this intersection, which <br />would already be operating at LOS F, by more than five (5) seconds. These <br />changes would represent a significant impact. <br />Mitigation 9-1: The intersection of Broadway and Woodside Road (SR <br />84} currently has five approach legs. The fifth leg of this intersection (the <br />southbound US 101 offramp) is a major contributing factor to poor intersection <br />operations. Currently the San Mateo County Transportation Authority (SMCTA) is <br />studying improvement options for the US 1~1/VVoodside Road interchange. One <br />of the options would include modifications of this intersection to a standard 4-leg <br />configuration. <br />Findings: At this time, no feasible modifications have been identified with <br />implementation assured to allow this intersection to operate at an acceptable <br />level of service; therefore, the addition of Maximum Intensity project traffic is <br />expected tC Ceci It in a s''igniflcant Unavoidable i.-t~pact SUCK Changes or <br />alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Caltrans. Such <br />changes can and should be adopted by such other agency. <br />Impact 9-2: Impact Middlefield Road/Woodside Road (SR 84} <br />Intersection--Maximum Intensity Precise Plan Alternative. During the PM <br />peak hour, the Maximum Intensity project traffic increment would increase by <br />more than five (5) seconds the average delay at the Middlefield/Woodside <br />intersection, which is already operating at LOS E. This change would represent a <br />significant impact. <br />Mitigatiion 9-2. Tine addition of a second eastbound left-turn lane on <br />Woodside Road (SR 84) would achieve LOS D conditions under Maximum <br />intensity conditions. This improvement, however, would require intersection <br />widening to provide adequate length for the additional left-turn lane. The <br />improvement would also require Caltrans approval, which is uncertain at this <br />time. Therefore, because implementation of this improvement is not assured, this <br />intersection impact would be a significant unavoidable impact. <br />Atty/Reso/Reso.1683 4 <br />030707 <br />
