existing travel patterns and adjacent land uses. The project-generated trips will be assigned to intersection turning movements based on the directions of approach and departure. Task 4- Existing Plus Approved Developments Conditions (With and Without Project): Fehr & Peers will obtain from Redwood City an updated list of approved and pending projects which may be completed in the near term. Traffic from these proposed developments will be assigned to the roadway network in the project study area. The 2000 Highway Capacity Manual intersection analysis methodologies will be employed to assess conditions at each of the study area intersections. This task also includes an assessment of traffic conditions with the addition of project traffic in the near term scenario. Project traffic from Task 3 will be added to each of the study area intersections. Fehr & Peers will then conduct operational analyses at each of the intersections to determine if the addition of project traffic degrades the operation of any of the intersections. Task 5 - Cumulative Conditions (With and Without Project): The cttmulative traffic conditions will only include proposed developments that would be completed outside the near term condition. Given the geographic nature of Redwood Shores, no additional through traffic will be assumed. Fehr & Peers will assess conditions at each of the four study area intersections during the Cttmulative Without Project Condition. Project traffic will then be added to Cumulative traffic volumes to develop Cumulative With Project volumes. Fehr & Peers will report operational conditions at each of the study area intersections. Task 6 - Project Impacts & Mitigation: Fehr & Peers will apply Redwood City's significance criteria to determine if the project negatively impacts any of the study area intersections. According to these significance criteria, an impact occurs if: · Project traffic increases the Level of Service (LOS) at an intersection from D to E or F, or · Project traffic worsens conditions at an intersection that currently operates at LOS E or F If the addition of project traffic causes a significant impact, Fehr & Peers will develop appropriate mitigation for each of the impact intersections. Task 7 - Site Access, Circulation and Parking: This task will evaluate the project site plan for vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, and emergency vehicle access and circulation. Driveway operations and the project's connectivity to existing and planned off-site transportation facilities (e.g., bike lanes and paths, pedestrian walks, transit routes) will also be evaluated. Another element of this task will be a peer review of the parking estimates prepared by ABA. Task 9 - Responses to Comments: Fehr & Peers will assist with responses to comments that may be received on the traffic impact study and transportation issues.
