Plan <br /> analysis, and to Hexagon consultants for the Star�ford Campus Extension traff'ic impact study. In <br /> early April,TJKM received the land use data for the new 2409 General Plan"Project"and two <br /> alternative scenarios for year 2035, and with�n one week provided the model forecast results to <br /> City staff for review and authorization to refease to Fehr&Peers. We are cur-rently preparing to <br /> run the"�umulatNe" General Plan scenario based on land use data provided by City Planning staff <br /> and our discussions with them regarding roadway network assumptions. <br /> The nature of some of the transportation in�rastruceure improvements proposed in the new <br /> Pt�=��� C:eneral Plan alternatives, and the transporta.tion network to be assumed in the Cumulative <br /> 5960 Ingiswaod Drive scenario, re u�res anal sEs and re aration be ond what was antici ated in ot�r ori inal sco e of <br /> s���ao 9 � Y P P Y p 8 P <br /> Pleasartton,c.o Work and budget.
