Strategic Economics will summarize the implications of the above analysis in a series of policy and land use recommendations, which will be incorporated into subsequent tasks. Product: . Baseline Economic Conditions Report 5.3 Draft Circulation Report Throughout the General Plan process, Fehr & Peers will coordinate with responsible planning and transportation agencies, including San Mateo City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG), San Mateo County and Caltrans, as well as the other members of the consultant team. Please note that Fehr & Peers is under contract with the City of Redwood City to update the Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) Program. The goal of the TIF update is to support a comprehensive transportation network that accommOdates the traffic and transportation generated by new development in the City. This analysis will demonstrate the nexus between the local transportation fees and the impacts created by new development over a20-year period. Therefore, it is our expectation that the General Plan work, specifically the travel demand forecasting work, will coincide with or precede the TIF update. This scope does include the evaluation of future year modeling forecasts so that different General Plan alternatives can be tested and the necessary technical results can be reported in theEIR. In the General Plan RFP, Redwood City expressed an interest in developing a city-wide traffic model which could be used to evaluate General Plan alternatives as well as to analyze future development proposals within the City. Fehr & Peers has submitted a separate scope of work and cost estimate for developing a city-wide model. However, we assume that a new city-wide model will be availabl.e for the General Plan analysis. Fehr & Peers will prepare a baseline transportation assessment, describing and quantifying existing systems and services as well as the policy framework related to highways, local streets, air, freight and commuter rail, port operations, public transit, pedestrian and bicycle systems. This effort will make use of traffic count information compiled as part of various traffic studies performed for projects throughout the City, as well as data available through the City's GIS resources and other information obtained from responsible planning and transportation agencies. The baseline transportation assessment will cover: functional classification of City streets; existing traffic volumes and levels of service on major roadways (up to 50 locations where traffic data is available through other sources) and on freeway segments; existing transit services and facilities; bicycle and trail systems; existing aviation facilities; and existing goods movement facilities including trucks, boats, and rail. Existing daily roadway segment counts wiJlbe obtained from the travel demand model process (a separate work effort) and no new traffic counts are included in this scope of work. We will make extensive use of GIS resources to produce maps of the existing systems and services to accompany the written descriptions. Fehr & Peers will review the existing policy framework affectipg the modes of transportation listed above, including policies in the current Redwood City General Plan .and in other relevant City and regional planning documents. Potential adjustments to the City's transportation poliCies will be identified and discussed with staff and decision-makers. 5.4 Draft Noise Report Our environmental team members include staff from lUingworthand ROdkin (I & R) to complete certain technical analyses.
