8.0 ExhiB�$ 95 � (i) Mitigation Measures. As described in Mitigation 9-17 (page 9-72 of the DEIR) this impact cannot be mitigated because the configuration of the intersection and the approaches to the intersectioil combined with the location of the existing railroad tracks make any proposed reconfiguration or improvements ineffective in reducing traffic delays and therefore infeasible. Therefore, this impact is deemed to be significant and unavoidable. (ii) Remaining Impacts. Because there are no feasible mitigation ' measures available to mitigate the significant impact identified above, this impact is considered significant and unavoidable. ' (iii) Overriding Considerations. The environmental, social, economic and other benefits of the DPP override the si�nificant adverse impacts of the DPP relating to the cumulative traffic impacts described above, as set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations below. Impact 9-18. Cumulative Impact on Broadway/Woodside Road Intersection. Under Cumulative With Project Conditions during both peak periods, the intersection would continue to operate at unacceptable LOS F. The additional project traffic would cause the critical delay to increase by more than five (5) seconds. a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed on pages 9-58 to 9-64 of the DEIR. b) Findings. Based on the FEIR and the entire record before the City, the City Council finds that: (i) Mitigation Measures. Mitigation of this project impact could be achieved by Mitigation Measure 9-5 (page 9-51 of the DEIR) as discussed in Impact 9-5 above. However, as discussed above, the changes required by Mitigation Measure 9-5 are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Caltrans, and can and should be adopted by Caltrans. Because implementation Mitigation Measure 9-5 is outside of the City's jurisdiction, it is deemed infeasible and therefore this impact is deemed to be significant and unavoidable. (ii) Remaining Impacts. Because there are no feasible mitigation measures available to mitigate the significant impact identified above, this impact is considered significant and unavoidable. (iii) Overriding Considerations. The environmental, social, economic and other benefits of the DPP override the significant adverse impacts of the DPP relating to the cumulative traffic impacts described above, as set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations below.
