Improving the sustainability and livability of Redwood City Subtask 7.2.2 Circulation Traffic Report Once the city-wide traffic model has been calibrated for the base year, Fehr & Peers will develop future traffic forecasts that will incorporate appropriate assumptions for trip generation and trip distribution. (The modeling work is being conducted as part ofaseparate work effort). We will work with the City to ensure that future programmed transportation improvements are correctly added to the model network. We will rely on the City and other members of the consultant team to develop socioeconomic projections ina format consistent with the model's geographic zone system for the future year scenarios. Traffic forecasts will be produced for the Future No Project scenario, which represents buildout of the existing General Plan. In addition, forecasts will be prepared for up to three New General Plan buildoutalternatives. For each of the alternatives, Fehr & Peers will generally identify the transportation infrastructure necessary to address deficiencies identified through the modeling. The results will be used to determine the effectiveness of potential circulation improvements and their possible inclusion in the final Preferred Alternative. In addition, Citywide transportation measures such as vehicle miles of travel, hours of delay, and numbers of trips generated will be calculated for each of the three alternatives and will be used to assist in comparing and contrasting the effects of the alternatives. This analysis will also identify any "Recommended Circulation Improvements" that are revealed by the 2030 General Plan Analysis, even if the improvements are not necessary to mitigate potentially significant impacts. The Preferred Alternative will contain the final land use and circulation system improvements; such that the results meet the level of service criteria and other relevant policies set by the City or are deemed undesirable because of secondary impacts. The transportation network identified to support the final Preferred Alternative will be represented in the Circulation Diagram in the General Plan. Fehr & Peers will develop future daily, AM and PM peak hour traffic forecasts at up to 50 roadway segments and 22 freeway segments in the Redwood City General Plan study area for the final Preferred Alternative. These forecasts will be adjusted to account for model error before being used in subsequent operations analysis. Roadway level of service analysis will be conducted for these segments, using LOS volume thresholds developed in' consultation with City staff. This roadway segment LOS analysis will form a key part of the transportation chapter of the EIR (described in Task 5 below). Please note that this scope does not anticipate doing comprehensive roadway LOS analysis for the other three General Plan alternatives; we recommend consultation with staff and other members of the consultant team to decide whether the environmental documentation of the General Plan should include this greater level of detail, and if so, an amended scope and budget will be prepared.
