REV: 12-20-23 VR twenty intersections will be conducted for the following scenarios. o Existing (2023) No Project o Existing (2023) Plus Project o Existing (2023) Plus Revised Project Alternative o Cumulative (2040) No Project o Cumulative (2040) Plus Project o Cumulative (2040) Plus Revised Project Alternative The LOS analysis will be conducted using Synchro software. If requested, a micro- simulation of traffic operations in the study area would require additional budget and time. Site Access, On-Site Circulation, and Parking: A site access and circulation review will be conducted to determine the adequacy of the proposed Precise Plan in accordance with accepted traffic engineering standards and City design standards. This will include a quantitative analysis of the estimated trips at the project driveways, as well as a qualitative analysis of the proposed driveway locations and dimensions. The analysis will consider the adequacy of the site for passenger vehicles and trucks (emergency vehicles and garbage collection activities). The project driveways will be evaluated for sight distance and potential queuing issues. The site plan review will also consider pedestrian and bicycle access and circulation. The proposed parking ratio will be evaluated based on the Redwood City Parking Code. Evaluation of Vehicle Queuing: For selected locations where the project would add a significant number of left-turning vehicles, the adequacy of existing/planned storage at turn pockets will be assessed by means of comparison with expected maximum vehicle queues. Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Transit Facilities: A qualitative analysis of the project’s effect on bicycle, pedestrian, and transit facilities in the study area will be prepared. Existing and planned facilities will be evaluated. The traffic study will identify any deficiencies and will recommend improvements if necessary. Freeway and Ramp Analysis: The magnitude of project trips on the freeway ramps and mainline will be determined based on the C/CAG travel demand model. The number of trips on nearby freeway ramps and segments will be compared to the CMP’s threshold for determining adverse effects on freeway facilities. Description of Impacts and Mitigation Measures: Based on the results of the VMT analysis, VMT impacts associated with the buildout of the Redwood Life Precise Plan will be identified and described. The potential to partially or fully mitigate significant impacts through TDM measures will be discussed. Mitigation measures also may include improvements to pedestrian, bicycle, or transit facilities. Also, based on the LOS analysis, roadway improvements will be identified to support the project and the project alternative for locations found to be inconsistent. Administrative Draft Report: Consultant’s findings and recommendations will be summarized in an administrative draft report. Draft and Final Reports: Following review and comment (on the administrative draft) by the environmental consultant, a draft report will be submitted for review by Redwood City. Hexagon will prepare a final report that responds to all the comments received from the environmental consultant and Redwood City staff.
