a,7.A. - Page 39 westbound approaches on Broadway would need to be restriped to include a total of one left-turn, one through lane, and one shared through/right-turn lane. Parking (50 spaces) would need to be removed from all intersection legs to accommodate travel lanes. Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 7-3 would improve the level of service (LOS) at this intersection to an acceptable LOS B in the AM peak hour and an acceptable LOS C in the PM peak hour, resulting in a less-than-significant impact. Facts in Support of Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 7-3 would reduce the project's traffic impact at the Charter Street/Broadway intersection to a less-than- significant level through a combination of a traffic signal with protected phasing (to replace the current Stop signs) and roadway restriping. This mitigation would require the removal of 50 total parking spaces from Charter Street and Broadway. These facts are described in Draft EIR chapter 7 (Transportation, Circulation, and Parking) on pages 7-1 through 7-70, Draft EIR appendix 21.3 (Supplemental Transportation Information), and Final EIR appendix A (Supplemental Traffic Information), which are hereby incorporated by reference. Impact: Impact 7-4: Existing Plus Project Impact on Douglas Avenue/Broadway Intersection. Under Existing Plus Project conditions during the AM peak hour, project traffic would cause the intersection to degrade from LOS B (10.4 seconds delay) to LOS F (167.6 seconds). During the PM peak hour, project traffic would cause the intersection to degrade from LOS B (11.1 seconds) to LOS F (180.0 seconds). In addition, this intersection would have peak hour volumes large enough under both peak hours to satisfy the peak hour signal warrant. Mitigation: Mitigation 7-4. To mitigate the project's impact (i.e., the project applicant would be responsible for fully funding/completing the mitigation) at the intersection of Douglas Avenue and Broadway, the intersection would need to be signalized with protected phasing on all approaches. (Douglas Avenue is considered north- south and Broadway is considered east-west.) In addition to signalization, parking (15 spaces) would need to be removed from the north and south legs to accommodate additional travel lanes. The southbound approach would need to be restriped to include a total of one left-turn lane, one through lane, and one right-turn lane. The northbound approach would need to be restriped to include a total of two northbound left-turn lanes and one shared through/right-turn lane. The eastbound and westbound approaches would need to be restriped to include a total of one left-turn lane and one shared through/right-turn lane. Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 7-4 would improve the level of service (LOS) at this intersection to an acceptable LOS C during both peak hours, resulting in a /ess- than-significant impact. Facts in Support of Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 7-4 would reduce the project's traffic impact at the Douglas Avenue/Broadway intersection to a less-than- significant level through a combination of a traffic signal with protected phasing (to replace the current Stop signs) and roadway restriping. This mitigation would require the removal of 15 parking spaces from Douglas Avenue. These facts are described in Draft EIR chapter 7 (Transportation, Circulation, and Parking) on ATTY/RES0.2901/STANFORD EIR CERTIFICATION REV:08-29-13 VR Page 29 of 56
