transportation network design modifications and/or TDM strategies to reduce the number and/or length of vehicle trips. In addition, Fehr & Peers will qualitatively assess CEQA transportation impacts based on the non-VMT CEQA Guideline criteria that address whether the project would: a) Conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities b) Substantially increase hazards due to a geometric design feature (e.g., sharp curves or dangerous intersections) or incompatible uses (e.g., farm equipment) c) Result in inadequate emergency access Task 1.2 – Data for Air Quality and Noise Analysis To support the air quality and noise analysis, we will develop base year and cumulative volumes from the C/CAG model. Specifically, we will provide the following: For Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis: 1. Average Daily Vehicle Trips associated with base year model land uses in Redwood City 2. VMT associated with base year land uses in the Redwood City 3. Average Daily Vehicle Trips associated with 2040 without Project and 2040 with Project land uses in Redwood City (at the planning horizon) 4. VMT associated with the 2040 without Project and with Project land uses in Redwood City For Noise Analysis 1. Daily Segment Traffic Volumes for base year for all segments analyzed 2. Daily Segment Traffic Volumes for 2040 without Project and 2040 GP Plan Year for all segments analyzed 3. Speed limits on the segments for existing and future time frames, if available This task assumes we will rely on C/CAG’s base year model outputs for existing conditions. Task 2 – Local Transportation Analysis The local transportation analysis will provide a balanced level of analysis for all modes of travel to evaluate pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and vehicle circulation networks. The local transportation analysis is conducted for City requirements outside of CEQA. Our scope assumes that we will evaluate the project under Existing and Cumulative conditions without and with the Project for the standard AM and PM commute peak periods. Task 2-1: Trip Generation and Study Area One of the first tasks is to establish the study area limits and identify the study intersections, freeway segments, and freeway ramps using the trip generation and trip assignment for the Gateway project. We will present the trip generation estimates for the project based on the final project descriptions provided by the EIR consultant.
