�� A-5 ,�, The City's preferred design includes traffic "roundabouts' at BlomquisYs intersections at both Maple Street and Bair Island Road. The Precise Plan requires that the applicant provide a substantial share of the funding for the e�ension prior to occupancy of 500 units in the project when needed. The City has already collected approximately $5 million towards a Blomquist construction total cost estimate of $10 million. The MSV commitment of the remainder will likely range from $4 to $4.5 million, depending on the contributions of other involved projects'. The developer will pay their contribution as needed by the City. The roadway extension is presently in the design stage, and construction within the project timeframe is considered to be realistic. (2) Pedestrian/Bicvcle Undercrossina of Hwv. 101 — In order to enhance non-motorized a�cess to and from the Bayfront, downtown and other areas of the City, a pedestrian/bicycle under-crossing of Hwy. 101 is included in the Precise Plan, and the Marina Shores development wouid contribute to its construction. The under-crossing would extend west from Blomquist Street just south of its intersection with Bair Island RoaJ, and would run adjacent to (on the north side o� Redwood Creek to downtown Redwood City. The Marina Shores contribution to the project is expected to be most of the $2.0 million estimated cost of the under-crossing. Although the Precise Plan requires that the under- �! crossing be fully funded prior to occupancy of 500 units on the site, it � may be built at the same time as the separate Blomquist Street extension in order to take advantage of existing equipment being used for other roadway construction. (3) Other Roadwav Imarovements - Other key roadway improvements include upgrades of East Bayshore Road, Bair Island Road, and Veterans Bivd., as well as signalization improvements at a handful of affected intersections. (4) Traffic Imoact Mitiaation Fees — In addition to the required roadway improvement upgrades, development of the project will require payment of mitigation fees for citywide traffic improvements (Traffic Impact Mitigation Fee Program), consistent with fees established by City Council resolution. The traffic impacts fee will be approximately $2.7 million dollars. This estimate is based on the net increase of traffic (projected tra�c minus existing traffic) and also includes a credit for the projecYs contributions to the capital improvements outlined above. b. Transit MSV is not transit-oriented development. It is not near any public transit nodes (e.g. Cal Train Station) and it does not have direct and easy ' At this tlme the Syufy project on Bayshore Road is the only other project that will have W contribute toward the Blomquist Street Extension. 3
