Because it is a stop-controlled intersection, the existing (4-lane) configuration at <br /> Emerald Hill Road would have to be retained in order to maintain a level of service <br /> (LOS) D (Redwood City's standard for roads outside of downtown). <br /> Although the removal of a lane would not create a significant traffic impact, it would add <br /> some delay to vehicles traveling in the corridor during peak times. At certain <br /> intersections this delay could be about 14-seconds, which in many instances can feel <br /> quite long. <br /> Public Outreach <br /> Staff approached the community to see if there was support for such a change, and if <br /> so, what the design should look like. This and the project's background were discussed <br /> at a well-attended community meeting on June 12t" at the Peninsula Covenant Church. <br /> Meeting flyers were sent directly to residents and property owners on Farm Hill <br />
