Page 4 014 <br /> Freeway Segment levels of Service <br /> The need to study freeway se!,Tments for the potential residential development was evaluated. As a general <br /> rule, a freeway segment should be analyzed when a proposed development would add traffic to a segment one <br /> percent or greater of its capacity. The results of the freeway analysis show that the residential project <br /> alternative would not cause a significant increase in traffic volume (one percent or more of capacity) on any <br /> of the study freeway segments. Thus, based on the estimated number of project trips and guidelines for <br /> freeway segment analysis, a detailed study of freeway segments is not necessary for this project. Table 3 <br /> sllllullarizes the results of the freeway capacity analysis for the residential project alternative. <br /> Table 3 <br /> Freeway Segment Evaluation - Residential Project Alternative <br /> # of Mixed-Flow # of HOV Capacity 1%of Peak Project % <br /> Freeway Segment Direction Lanes Lanes (vphpl) Capacity Hour Trips Capacity <br /> US 101 Hotly Street to Whipple Avenue 5B 3 1 8800 88 AM 2 /al <br /> PM 8 Ia! <br /> US 101 Woodside Road to Marsh Road SB 3 1 8800 88 AM 6 fa! <br /> PM 3 /al <br /> US 101 Marsh Road to Woodside Road NB 3 1 8800 88 AM 1 fa! <br /> PM 6 /al <br /> US 101 Whipple Avenue to Holly Street NB 3 1 8800 88 AM 9 fa! <br /> PM 4 tal <br /> Note: The capacity of the mixed-flow lanes is 2300 vphpl. The capacity af HOV lanes is 1900 vphpl. <br /> tal Project trips added are negligible. <br /> Conclusions <br /> Removing the existing office building on the project site and replacing it with 100 residential units would not <br /> result in any significant negative traffic impacts. <br /> --- <br />
