Proposed Work Program <br />June 2021 City of Redwood City / Transit District Subsequent EIR 9 <br />Environmental science associates <br />REV: 06-22-21 MI <br />Redwood City practices. F&P will conduct the freeway segment and ramp analysis using methodologies that <br />are consistent with other Redwood City recent studies for the locations listed above. <br />In addition to the traffic analysis, F&P will qualitatively describe pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities in the <br />study area, with an emphasis on access to and within the downtown. <br />Existing Plus Project Conditions. F&P will add the project-generated vehicle trips developed to the existing <br />conditions traffic volumes developed to create Existing Plus Project Conditions traffic volumes. <br />F&P will complete an impact assessment by comparing the results of Existing Plus Project Conditions to the <br />Existing (no Project) Conditions for the study locations. Identification of adverse effects will be determined by <br />comparing the results to the City’s significance criteria presented in the TAM. F&P will identify mitigation <br />improvements for adverse effects and discuss feasibility and implementation factors with City Staff for <br />comment and concurrence prior to completing the study. <br />Cumulative Conditions. The multimodal analysis for the Transit District will include a detailed analysis. Given <br />the Transit District’s proximity of the Sequoia Station, the multimodal analysis will include additional detail <br />related to access for pedestrians, bicyclist, and transit riders. This will include specific recommendations <br />consistent with multimodal improvements identified in RWCmoves, the El Camino Real Corridor Plan, other <br />relevant plans and ongoing Transit Center planning efforts. <br />Rail Crossings. The existing at-grade crossings are located at Whipple Road, Brewster Avenue, Broadway, Maple <br />Street, Main Street, and Chestnut Street. As part of this task, F&P will develop a VISSIM model to evaluate <br />operations at the six existing at-grade rail crossings and the intersections directly east and west of the <br />crossings, at eleven locations (see Appendix A for the list of locations). <br />The City is currently considering several grade separation alternatives, including what is known as Alternative <br />1 (grade separation at all six locations) and Alternative 3 (grade separation only at Whipple Avenue and <br />Brewster Avenue, with the Broadway crossing closed to vehicular access). <br />F&P will develop a VISSIM model under Cumulative No Build, Cumulative plus Alternative 1, and Cumulative <br />plus Alternative 3 scenarios. The Cumulative No Build scenario will include both the Transit District and <br />Gatekeeper projects. F&P will work with the City to determine which transit service improvements, such as <br />High Speed Rail, we should account for in the rail schedule/gate down time. To the extent feasible F&P will <br />utilize information and data collected from other relevant City studies, as well as build off the VISSIM model <br />developed for the High-Speed Rail project and the South Main Circulation study. The fee for this task will be <br />adjusted after assessment of available data and models. <br />F&P will present level of service and queuing information for the crossings and adjacent intersections. <br />Site Access and Circulation Analysis. With the availability of the Sequoia Station Shopping Center application, <br />the Transit District project will include a detailed multimodal site access and circulation analysis. <br />TA Documentation. Fehr & Peers will prepare TA report for the Transit District. Each report will include text, <br />graphics, and tables to describe the analysis methods and results, potential transportation impacts and adverse <br />effects, as well as corresponding mitigation measures and required improvements. <br />ATTY/AGR.2021.149/ESA (Transit District CEQA) (Page 19 of 26)
