prepared by Fehr and Peers Associates for the City and dated November 15 3 1995 C'Proj ect T raffic ctudy��). The gain Study is a comprehensive evaluation of circulation needs arising from the buildout of Redwood Peninsula. The study included .recommendations which r in a transportation plan consisting of a combination of physical highway and surface street irupravernents, as well as a transportation management program to reduce peak period travel demand. (b) The Project Traffic Study evaluates conditions that have changed since the Crain Study was prepared and determines Project .Impacts.. It f nds that the Project will generate equal or less peak hour traffic than was analyzed in the Cram Study, up to .24% less in the morning peak hour and between 14 % to 32 % .less in the afternoons peak hour. It also concludes that Project traffic will contribute to the following cumulative impacts: (1) Intersection impact. at Redwood Shores Parkway/Twin Dolphin. Drive (morning and .afternoon peak hours); (2) Intersection .impact at Redwood Shores Parkway/Bridge Parkway (morning peak hour); :and (3) Change from LOS .D to LOSE in the afternoon peak hour at the westbound to southbound loop off-ramp at the Highway 101/Redwood Shores Parkway interchange. (c) The Project Traffic Study further i dentifies mitigation measures that wi reduce all of these impacts. Impact (1): be rriitigated by widening Redwood Shores Panay to accommodate three through lanes in each direction through the intersection. Impact. (2) can be mitigated by the reconfiguration of southbound Brid a .Parka to g y accommodate two right turn lanes and .a shared through. -left lane, and through the addition of a second eastbound left turn .lane on Redwood Shores Parkway. Impact (3 ) can be mitigated through modifications to the .interchange, including conversion. from a full to partial cloverleaf designand construction of the Measure A- funded auxiliary lanes. - A11 of these mitigation measures were previously identified by the gain .report as .needed finprovements. (d) The Project is only one of many sources that will contribute to the identified traffic impacts. Because these impacts are cumulative, the Project . is not responsible for the total cost of mitigation. Rather, it is responsible for contributing to cumulative mitigation measures. Therefore, the applicant shall be required to participate in a Traffic c Assessment District for the redwood Shores area in order to pay for its fair share of the identif ed inlproven�ents. The applicant also is required to pay a Facilities Fee, which Will contribute to improvements made by the General Irnprvvement District. These mitigation FNDNGPLDOC sr30 10:51 AM
