7.B. - Page 65 <br /> Redwood City Chapter 4.Environmental Impact Analysis <br /> c. Substantially increase hazards because of a design feature(e.g.,sharp curves or dangerous <br /> intersections)or incompatible uses(e.g.,farm equipment)? <br /> Construction <br /> Less-than-Significant New Impact.Construction traffic generated by the proposed modifications <br /> would temporarily increase truck volumes on Middlefield Road,which is designated as a truck <br /> traffic route (Redwood City Municipal Code Section 20.52). However,truck trips resulting from the <br /> proposed modifications on these roadways are relatively low(four truck trips per hour) and the <br /> general mix of traffic would be consistent with traffic volumes under current operations at the <br /> existing Costco warehouse and fueling center.Once construction activities are complete, <br /> construction truck traffic would cease.As such,construction of the proposed modifications would <br /> not result in a safety hazard due to the use of the roadways in the project area. New impacts would <br /> be less than significant. <br /> Operation <br /> No New Impact.Safety impacts are considered significant if design elements of the proposed <br /> modifications would result in conditions that would increase the risk of accidents,either for <br /> vehicular or non-motorized traffic.Safety impacts were evaluated for the corner sight distance at the <br /> driveway at the site of the proposed modifications and onsite circulation.The proposed <br /> modifications would involve changes to the existing fueling center restricted to the Costco property. <br /> No change would occur to the design at the Costco entrance driveway and on local streets adjacent <br /> to the project site.Therefore,no obstacles to sight distance would result from the driveway at the <br /> project site.As discussed in Section 4.3.a above,the proposed modifications are expected to reduce <br /> the vehicle queues and waiting times at the existing fueling center,which would also improve onsite <br /> circulation. No new impact would occur. <br /> d. Conflict with adopted policies,plans,or programs regarding public transit,bicycle,or <br /> pedestrian facilities,or otherwise decrease the performance or safety of such facilities? <br /> No New Impact.The proposed modifications would not result in any physical changes to the <br /> transportation system or traffic operations that would affect current or future planned transit or <br /> non-motorized transportation. No new impact would occur. <br /> Addendum No.2 to the Environmental Impact Report for 4 Z� September 2012 <br /> the Redwood City Costco Wholesale Project ICF 00154.12 <br />
