7C Page 31 'f. Traffic Mitigations 7-7 through 7-17; 2. Public Service Mitigations 10-4 through 10-7 and 10-9; 3. Noise Mifigations 13-1 and 13-2; and 4. Air Quality Mitigation 15-1. Due to the overall reduction in residential and commercial development proposed by the current Peninsula park project, the following tnitigation measures identified in the 2a03 EIR would no longer be necessary, or have been madified to address the revised project, as identified throughout this Addendum: 1. Traffic Mitigations 7-1 through 7-6 and 7-18 thraugh 7-27 (all eliminated); 2. Publ;c Service M;tiga:;ons 10-1, 10-2, and 1�-8 (a!E ^�odified); 3. Noise Mitigation 93-3 (modified); and 4. Air Quafity Mitigation 15-2 {eliminated). Findings: The identified mitigations would reduce all poten#ially significant employment-triggered impacts to a levef of insignificance, with the exception of the cumulative with project tra�c impacts at EI Camino/Whipple Avenue (Impact 7-15) intersectian which would remain a significant and unavoidable impact. Due to right-of-way and physical constraints, both of the mitigation alternatives discussed in Mitigation 7-15 are deemed infeasible. Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of ei#her Caltrans or the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (Caltrain) and not the City of Redwond City. Such changes can or should be adapted by Caltrans ar Caltrain. This impact is also overridden by project benefts as set forth in the statement af overriding considerations. IV. TRANSPORTATiON AND CIRCULATI�N A. Transit Accessibilitv Impact Potential Impact 7-7: The proposed praject, as well as other anticipated development in the Bayfrant/Bair Isfand Road area, could justify the addition of one or more SamTrans bus routes into the area. Currentiy, there is inadequate existing space for a SamTrans bus to turn around in the Bair Island Road area, a roadway deficiency that would preclude a future bus route from conveniently serving the area. This de�ciency would therefore represent a signifrcant impact. Mitigation 7-7: The Project shall implemen# Mitigation 4-3, dea(ing wi#h the incorporation of a number of"smart growth" elements in the Project, including the establishment of transit links between the Project and local and regional express transit corridors and/or hubs, such as #he EI Camino Real transit corridor and/or the Redwood Gty CalTrain intermodal station, and between the Project and downtown Redwood City and/or other ioca! empioyment, financial, and retail concentrations. As par� of such implementa�ion, the Project sha{I accommodate on-site or confribute its fair share to a bus turn-around in the Bair island Road area to allow for more convenient SamTrans bus service into the area {Mitigation 7-7).
