7C Page 33 projecf impact at the Bfomquist Street/Maple Street intersection (see Secondary Impact 7-10A which follows). Findings: The extension of Blomquist Street over Redwood Creek to the East Bayshore/Bair Island Road intersection would reduce the impact described above ta a iess- than-significant level. E. Proiect-Related Secondarv lmpact of the Blomquist Extension on the Blomquist StreetlMaqle Street Intersection. Secondary Impac# 7-10A: With completion of the Blomquist Street Extension, the Blomquist StreeUMaple Street intersection wauld be expected to operate at LOS C (acceptable} conditions during the AM peak hour and LOS F (unacceptabfe) conditions during the PM peak hour under Background Conditions. W'rth the addition of the project traffic, operations at the intersection would be expected to degrade to LOS D (acceptable) conditions during the AM peak hour and worse �OS F (unacceptabfe) condifions during the PM peak hour. The change in the PM average delay at #he intersection due to the project is expected to be more than 5.0 seconds. The intersection is also expected to satisfy the Caftrans Peak-Hour Volume Warrant for trafifc signal installation during the PM peak hour under Project Conditions. These secondary effects of Mitigation 7-10, the Bfomquist Street Extension, would represent a significanf secondary impacf. Secondary Mitigation 7-1QA. To mitiga#e project-related secondary traffic impacts at the Blomquist Streefi/Mapfe Street intersection: (a)the intersecfion shall be four-way s#op-controlled; and (b)the northbound approach shall be widened #o incfude a dedicated {eft turn lane and a shared through/right-turn {ane. With these impravements, the intersectiat� is expected to operate at LOS C during the AM and PM peak hours under Project Conditions. Altematively, install a traffic signal at #he intersection. With signafiza#ion, the intersection is expected to operate at LOS B during the AM and PM peak hours under Project Conditions. Or, as a third alternative, ins#a!I a rou�dabout at#he intersec#ion. With #he roundabout, the intersection would operate at LOS A during the AM and PM peak hours under Project Condi#ians. Implementation of ane of these secondary mitiga#ion aiternatives to City satisfaction wouVd be a Praject responsibifity. Findings: fmplementation of any one ofi these three mitigation alternatives woufd reduce the project's secondary impact at the Blomquist StreetlMaple Street in#ersection to a less-than-signi�cant leveL F. Proiect lmpacts an C/CAG's Conqestion Manactemertt Plan (CMP) Roadwav Network--AM and PM Peak Hours. Potential Impact 7-11: The proposed projec# is expected #o generate 320 net new peak-hour trips during the AM peak hour and 342 net new peak-hour trips during the PM peak hour. Because the project trip generation rate is more than 100 net new peak-hour trips and the project is subject to CEQA review, the proposed project must meet the requirements presented in the C/CAG Guidelines for the Implementation of the Land Use Component of the Atty/Reso/Reso_1772 1� 121307
