Tn preparation of the Traffic and Circulation suUseciion oEthe EIR for the proposed projects, the following tasks would be completed: • C�nd�sct a site reconnaissance. C'onduct a reco7n.aissa;ice to verify traffic and circulation conditions at the project site. . Peer review of tlre Traf�c Study. Peer review and evaluate the Fehr and Peers traffic study for adeq�.iacy and accuracy. • Descrihe traffic and cireulativ►r conditions. Describe the regional and site-specific traffie and circutation conditions for the project,based on review of available trafFic reports and oiher technical reports for the project sites. • Describe potential inrpacts. Summarize potential traffic and circulation impacts related to the proposed project bas�d on the Fehr and Peers traffic study and otner available technical reports. This will include potential impacts on pedestrian and bicycle circulation,transit and parking, and the impacts of the traffic generated by the proposed elementary school. • Desc:ribe existing local policies. Describe existing local poIicies from the Circulation Eleme;7t of the Redwood City General Plan that address lraffic and circulation. • Peer review of TDM Program. Peer review and eval�ate applicaut's TDM program for compliance with requirements and effectiveness. 9. :4'oise a. Issues. "['he project.site's noise environment is primarily influenced by its proximity to local roadways. Proximity to the San Carlos Airport, the San Prancisco Internatianal Airport, State Route 92 and �Iigl�way 10l may also contribute to tl�e site's noise environment.Consttuction activities cauld also result in short-term increases in noise levels and vibration. The proposed land uses within the praject inc�z.ide se�sitive uses; such as;esidential uses and a proposed elementary school. Locating sensitive uses in areas with h.i�h noise levels could res�ilt in adverse health and nuisance effects.The site is adjacent to existing resic3ential development which could be affected by construction noise and vibratior., and by noise generated by the proposed uses. b. Approach. LSA will conduct the following subtasks to identify existing noise conditions and potential impacts that could result from implementation of the proposed project: • �'�lentify lzaise and land use compatibility criteria. Applicable State of California and Redwood City noise and land use compatibility criteria will be identified as part of Subtask A-7 and used to evaluate the significance ofpotential impacts. • Characterize existing noise. Fxisting sources of noise in the proposed project area, such.as iraffic and aircraft noise,wili be identified. • Co�iduct a�nbient noise monitorin�: Short-term ambient noise monitoring will be conducted at up to four locations within the project site to establish the existing noise environment.
