3 System (TIMS)1. The expected reduc�on in fatali�es and injuries were then es�mated using an interchange design crash modifica�on factor (CMF) of 0.96 from the CMF clearinghouse, with results indica�ng that the Project will reduce 2 fatali�es and 42 injury events over 20 years (this translates to 0.1 fatality and 2.1 injury per year). 1.1.2. Project Benefits: Equitable Access to Regional Facili�es Because there is currently no access for pedestrians and bicyclists to navigate the Interchange area, the Project will benefit bicyclists and pedestrians to provide safe access to regional facili�es. The Project takes a Complete Streets approach by adding new sidewalks and mul�-use paths, as well as new on-street bikeways (Class II & IV (protected). The Safe Systems design approach also includes mul�ple crossings, including Gate Controlled Rail Crossing replacing two at-grade unprotected crossings, pedestrian scale ligh�ng, and other safety features. 1.1.3. Project Benefits: Goods Movement Construc�on materials and recycling for the SF Bay area Peninsula and Silicon Valley is the main import and export of the Port of Redwood City (Port). As the only interchange connec�on from US 101 to the Port and neighboring industrial businesses, its improvement is essen�al for freight and supply chain goods movement for the na�on as it is currently the most significant botleneck in the mul�modal goods movement system. This also translates to improved Port opera�ons to enable future growth through access improvements and conges�on relief. 1.1.4. Addi�onal Project Benefits Other benefits being highlighted under the “Reimagined” communica�ons include the following: • Regional significance: Improve access for all travel modes (future ferry, Caltrans connec�vity, freight access) to downtown Redwood City, Kaiser, and Stanford medical campuses. o Connec�vity to Transit will provide transporta�on links to bus-shutle systems, future ferry service, and Caltrain connec�on to downtown/jobs at Google, and North Fair Oaks neighborhood. • Provide access for pedestrians and bicyclists to the San Francisco Bay Shoreline, regional Bay Trail, and Ferry Terminal by building bicycle and pedestrian facili�es that can only be provided by the construc�on of the larger Project. • Improve Equity Priority Community access by directly improving mul�-modal transporta�on access to/from North Fair Oaks and local schools. • Remove transporta�on barriers along SR 84 and US 101 and provide access to rich employment. 1 This tool pulls collision data that results in injury from the Statewide Integrated Traffic System (SWITRS).
