4.16 TRANSPORTATION The following discussion is based on a traffic impact study prepared by TJKM Transportation Consultants in March 2012. A copy of this report is located in Appendix G of this document. 4.16.1 Setting 4.16.1.1 Roadway Network Local access to the project site is provided by El Camino Real(State Route 82), Woodside Road, Oakwood Drive, and Dumbarton Avenue as described below. El Camino Real is six lanes (three lanes in each direction) and is a major north/south transportation corridor through the City. El Camino Real connects to Woodside Road(State Route 84) approximately six-tenths of a mile north of the project site. El Camino Real provides direct access to the proj ect site. Woodside Road is a four-lane (two lanes in each direction), east-west roadway that connects to Highway 101 to the east and Highway 280 to the west. Woodside Road provides access from these highways to the project site via El Camino Real. Oakwood Drive is a two-lane, east-west residential street that intersects with El Camino Real and provides direct access to the project site. Oakwood Drive becomes Dumbarton Avenue as it crosses over El Camino Real. Dumbarton Avenue is a two-lane, east-west roadway that provides access to El Camino Real for the unincorporated area of San Mateo County located between El Camino Real and the Caltrain right-of- way. 4.16.1.2 Existing Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities Pedestrian Facilities There are no sidewalks along the El Camino Real and Oakwood Avenue frontages of the project site. Pedestrian facilities in the project area consist of sidewalks along both sides El Camino Real(except in front of the project site) and signalized crosswalks on the west,north, and east sides of the El Camino ReaUOakwood Avenue/Dumbarton Avenue intersection. There is no crosswalk on the south side of this intersection. Sidewalks on Oakwood Avenue are intermittent through the residential area. The existing sidewalks in the project area are lacking connectivity and do not provide pedestrians with full access to all surrounding land uses in the area. Bicycle Facilities There are currently no designated bicycle lanes or routes on El Camino Real in the vicinity of the project site. According to the Redwood City General Plan, El Camino Real has been identified as a future bicycle route. Kensington Assisted Living Facility Project 79 Initial Study Redwood City Apri12013
