78 ATTACHMENT 4 Page 39 roadways. The proposed project would increase existing traffic volumes in the project vicinity. At a maximum, the total number of round trips generated by the proposed project would be 70 trips. Because these trips would be temporary in nature and would be dispersed throughout the day, project traffic would neither substantially degrade the level of service at the intersection of Farm Hill Boulevard, Woodhill Drive, and the Canada College entrance such that it would exceed the Redwood City or Town of Woodside level of seNice standards of LOS D, nor exceed capacity or violate the established level of seNice standard of LOS Don 1-280. However, construction vehicles entering or exiting the project site could result in traffic in the project vicinity on campus, which could adversely affect local traffic circulation. Effects could be significant, particularly during peak hours. (IS/MND Impact 15-a and 15-b, pp. 3-79, 3-80). Mitigation Measure T -1: Implement a traffic control plan during construction. The District will require the construction contractor(s) to develop a traffic control plan to minimize the effects of construction traffic on the surrounding areas. The plan will be subject to review and approval by the District. The District will be responsible for monitoring to ensure that the plan is effectively implemented by the construction contractor. The construction traffic control plan will include the following requirements: . Provide clearly marked pedestrian detours if any sidewalk or pedestrian walkway closures are necessary. . Provide clearly marked bicycle detours if heavily used bicycle routes must be closed, or if bicyclist safety would otherwise be compromised. . Provide crossing guards and/or flag persons as needed to avoid traffic conflicts and ensure pedestrian and bicyclist safety. . Use nonskid traffic plates over pen trenches to minimize hazards. . Locate all stationary equipment as far away as possible form areas use heavily by vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. . Notify and consult with emergency service providers and provide emergency access by whatever means necessary to expedite and facilitate the passage of emergency vehicles. . Avoid routing construction traffic through residential areas to the extent feasible. Prohibit mobilization and demobilization of heavy construction equipment during AM and PM peak traffic hours. . Provide access for driveways and private roads outside the immediate construction zone by using steel plates or temporary backfill, as necessary. . Restrict the travel routes of heavy construction vehicles to the portion of Farm Hill Boulevard between Interstate 280 and the main campus
