Because implementation of such <br /> improvements is outside of the City's jurisdiction, they are deemed infeasible and <br /> therefore this impact is deemed to be significant and unavoidable. <br /> (ii) Remaining Impacts. Because there are no feasible mitigation <br /> measures available to mitigate the significant impact identified above, this impact <br /> is considered significant and unavoidable. <br /> (iii) Overriding Considerations. The environmental, social, <br /> economic and other benefits of the DPP override the significant adverse impacts � <br /> of the DPP relating to the cumulative traffic impacts described above, as set forth <br /> in the Statement of Overriding Considerations below. <br /> Impact 9-24. Cumulative Impacts on Freeway Ramp Operations. Under <br /> Cumulative With Project conditions, the US 101 to Woodside Road diagonal <br /> freeway ramp would operate at an unacceptable LOS F in both the AM (VIC ratio <br /> 1.23) and PM (VIC ratio 1.18) peak hour. <br /> a) Potential Impact. The impact identified above is described and discussed <br /> on pages 9-77 to 9-78 of the DEIR. <br /> b) Findings. Based on the FEIR and the entire record before the City, the <br /> City Council finds that: <br /> (i) Mitigation Measures. Mitigation of the project contribution to <br /> this cumulative impact on this freeway ramp would require eatensive <br /> reconstruction of this interchange. The SMCTA and the City of Redwood City are <br /> investigating possible interchange improvements, with ongoing studies to <br /> determine the best design. However, any improvements to US 101 interchanges <br /> are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of Caltrans, and can and should be <br /> adopted by Caltrans. Because implementation of this mitigation measure is <br /> outside of the City's jurisdiction, it is deemed infeasible and therefore this impact <br /> is deemed to be significant and unavoidable. <br /> (ii) Remaining Impacts. Because there are no feasible mitigation <br /> measures available to mitigate the significant impact identified above, this impact <br /> is considered significant and unavoidable. <br /> (iii) Overriding Considerations.
