<br />. <br /> <br />4IiI <br /> <br />Ms. Michelle Tangunan <br />December 28, 2007 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />1) Attendance at a meeting with the project proponent and City staff (maximum of one <br />meeting anticipated and budgeted). <br /> <br />2) Review of pertinent support information, including project plans, and a peer review <br />of all submitted environmental documents related to the project. <br /> <br />3) Preparation of a traffic and circulation study performed by a certified traffic engineer. <br />The traffic study tasks are described below. <br /> <br />OmniMeans will review available data relevant to the traffic circulation analysis. <br />Based upon a discussion with City staff, the analyses will focus on traffic <br />operations/safety at the intersection of Maple Street/Chemical Way. <br /> <br />Data collection will include the following: <br /> <br />. AM and PM peak period traffic counts at the existing Airgas facility in San <br />Carlos <br /> <br />. Speed surveys and sight distance measurements on Maple Street at <br />Chemical Way <br /> <br />. Previous studies' traffic volume data for streets in the project area <br /> <br />The traffic impact analysis and report will include: <br /> <br />. Generate Project Data - Using trip generation rates acceptable to the City, <br />traffic will be generated for the proposed project. Trip rates will be based on <br />specific activity levels expected for the facility. (OmniMeans will confirm this <br />data with counts at the existing Airgas facility). The trip generation will be <br />further defined in terms of the types of trucks. <br /> <br />. Distribute Project Traffic on Adjacent Street System - The distribution and <br />assignment of project trips will be based upon current traffic flow <br />characteristics as well as expected delivery patterns. It is also assumed that <br />the applicant will identify the likely routes for delivery and shipping of the <br />industrial gas products. <br /> <br />. The identified routes will be evaluated in terms of vehicular safety, potential <br />restriction in truck turn paths and weight limits on the Maple Street <br />overcrossing of Highway 101. A specific issue will be the adequacy of <br />vehicle sight distance at the Maple Street/Chemical Way intersection. To <br />the extent that safety and access impacts are evident, appropriate routes <br />and/or design features could be recommended as mitigation. <br /> <br />It is expected that a majority of the project trips will pass through the <br />Seaport/Blomquist intersection. OmniMeans will compare the project trips <br />
