�a-4� <br /> ,� intersection by more than five seconds during the AM and PM peak hours, periods <br /> ��.� during which the intersection would aiready be expected to operate at an unacceptable <br /> level of service even absent the Project (Impact 7-21). <br /> Mitigation: The project applicant shall be required to make a fair share <br /> contribution to either one of two altemative sets of mitigations described in Mitigation 7- <br /> 21: 1) the restriping of the southbound approach to the intersection to include a <br /> dedicated left turn lane, a shared through/left-tum lane, and a dedicated right tum lane; <br /> or 2) a set of modifications that would include: a) restriping the northbound right tum <br /> lane to be a shared through/right-tum lane and adding a receiving lane on the north side <br /> of the intersection, b) restriping the southbound approach to include a dedicated left tum <br /> lane, a shared through/left-tum lane, and a dedicated right tum lane, and c) changing <br /> the east/west left tums from "protected" to "permitted" phasing (Mitigation 7-20). <br /> Findings: The second of the alternative sets of improvements described <br /> above may be infeasible, as it would require the cooperation of the railroad company to <br /> widen the roadway over existing railroad tracks and would require extensive re-grading <br /> of the adjacent property. However, the first set of improvements is feasible, and either <br /> set will independently reduce the cumulative impact described above to a less-than- <br /> significant level. <br /> W. Cumulative (2020) Impact on U.S. 101 Southbound Mixed-Flow Lanes. <br /> Whipple Avenue to Woodside Road Seament — AM Peak Hour <br /> — Potential Impact: By 2020, assuming the addition of traffic generated by <br /> all other approved and pending projects in the vicinity, the Project is expected to <br /> increase traffic volumes by more than one percent of the U.S. 101 Southbound Mixed- <br /> Flow Lanes, Whipple Avenue to Woodside Road segmenYs capacity during the AM <br /> peak hour, a period during which tra�c volume would already be expected to exceed <br /> capacity on this segment even absent the addition of Project-generated traffic (Impact <br /> 7-22). <br /> Mitigation: The project applicant shall design and implement a <br /> comprehensive TDM program meeting the criteria set forth in Mitigation 7-2 (Mitigation <br /> 7-22). <br /> Findings: Mitigation 7-22 is feasible and will help to partially mitigate <br /> Impact 7-22. However, mitigation of this impact to a less-than-significant level would <br /> require the addition of another southbound through lane to the freeway segment, which <br /> is not feasible because this freeway videning would require multiple approvals from . <br /> multiple jurisdictions beyond the authority of the City and would require resources <br /> beyond the capacity of any individual development project or the City. Therefore, the <br /> cumulative impact described above is significant and unavoidable. <br /> 1289\02\1792782 17 <br /> Alty/ResWReso.1470 <br /> 052004 <br />
