8.A. - Page 147 o The foIlow-up field work consisted of onlv one hour of observation on one day at the study site. o In addition, the main fiel� work (by TRA) supporting the biological reparts was completed 5 ar more years ago. [May & October 2006), Cornerstone's fol�ow-up field work [which looked for anly the Fragrant fritillary) was done more than 4 years ago (3/2 Z/07). o The biolagical reports fail to take into account the shar� blaom period for native plants. o The reports (especially the second one) fail to even consider effects of variations in bloom periods at differing e�evations. There are substantial elevatian differences between the study site and the Edgewood Park lily habitat. The fragrant fritillaries (seen 3/21/1� in Edgewood) may have already passed their bloom periad at study site. 2. CHANGES TO THE RUADWAY. • CEQA re4uires that an EIR should facus on mitigation measures that are feasible, practical, and effective and fully enforceab2e and should be listed, cansidered and seleeted to reduce all potentially significant impacts to levels of insignificance. • The EIR and the project description fail to identify (or mitigate for) the many issues assaciated with bui�ding a new, substantially wiaened, roadway including, for example: o Failure �o include adequate information (in writing or on maps/drawings) ta show how the new raadway will affect the boundaries, retaining walls, and slope stability of the existing Laurel Way hames. o Failure to assess to adequately assess the impact oF the extensive cut and fill proposals on soil stability. o Failure to include adequate information to identify trees and boulders on existing properties that wi�l neec� to be remaved to widen the roadway. • The EIR and the Project Description fail to evaluate the consequences of building a bi-level section of the roadway in at least the following ways. o Failure to adequately consider the impact af the weight of the bi-level section. o Failure to consider effects of the divided roadway on saFety. o What will prevent drivers from taking short c�ts by going the wrong way on the divided portions of the road to avoid having to drive past their hames and then came back the other way? o How will one-way traffic violations be enforced? If the City is not going to police parking infractions, how will it police wrong way traffic?
