Study, up to 24% less in the morning peak hour and between 14% to 32% less in the afternoon peak hour. It also concludes that Project traffic will contribute to the following cumulative impacts: (1) Intersection impact at Redwood Shores Parkway/Twin Dolphin Drive (morning and afternoon peak hours); (2) Intersection impact at Redwood Shores Parkway/Bridge Parkway (morning peak hour); and (3) Change from LOS D to LOS E in the afternoon peak hour at the westbound to southbound loop off-ramp at the Highway 101/Redwood Shores Parkway interchange. (c) The Project Traffic Study further identifies mitigation measures that will reduce all of these impacts. Impact (1) can be mitigated by widening Redwood Shores Parkway to accommodate three through lanes in each direction through the intersection. Impact (2) can be mitigated by the reconfiguration of southbound Bridge Parkway to accommodate two right turn lanes and a shared through-left lane, and through the addition ora second eastbound left mm lane on Redwood Shores Parkway. Impact (3) can be mitigated through modifications to the interchange, including conversion from a full to partial cloverleaf design and construction of the Measure A-funded auxiliary lanes. All of these mitigation measures were previously identified by the Crain Report as needed improvements. (d) The Project is only one of many sources that will contribute to the identified traffic impacts. Because these impacts are cumulative, the Project is not responsible for the total cost of mitigation. Rather, it is responsible for contributing to cumulative mitigation measures. Therefore, the applicant shall be required to participate in a Traffic Assessment District for the Redwood Shores area in order to pay for its fair share of the identified improvements. The applicant also is required to pay a Facilities Fee, which will contribute to improvements made by the General Improvement District. These mitigation measure will be enforced through the Planned Development Permit and through the Development Agreement. The Development Agreement further provides that the City may require Flatirons to dedicate or offer for dedication the right-of-way necessary to provide left and right mm lanes into the Project from Redwood Shores Parkway, as well as one through lane (e) The Project applicant will also undertake additional measures to improve traffic circulation and reduce congestion. Shoreline Drive will be extended, a long- needed improvement that will improve traffic circulation within Redwood Shores. The Facilities Fee will be used for offsite improvements, including all necessary -7- GIDEIRFD.DOC 7/23/96 5:44 PM
