7.A. - Page 40 ATfACHMENT 1 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 7-5: Near Term Plus Project Impact on Woodside Road/Broadway Intersection. Under Near Term Plus Project conditions during the PM peak hour, this intersection would continue to operate at LOS F, and project traffic would cause the critical delay to increase by 69.5 seconds. Mitigation: Mitigation 7-5. Implement Mitigation 7-1 (the project applicant would be responsible for fully funding/completing the mitigation). With these improvements, the level of service (LOS) at this intersection would remain at LOS F. Although the LOS F condition would exceed the City LOS standard, the LOS under Near Term Plus Project condition with this mitigation would be better than that under the Near Term Without Project condition. These improvements would enhance the overall performance of the intersection. Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 7-5 would reduce this project impact to a less-than- significant level. However, because implementation of this mitigation would require Caltrans approval, the City cannot ensure its construction. Without implementation of the proposed mitigation, the impact would be significant and unavoidable. Facts in Support of Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 7-5 would reduce the project's traffic impact at the Woodside Road/Broadway intersection to a less-than- significant level through a combination of roadway restriping, signage, modified traffic signal phasing, and based on Caltrans directives, possibly pedestrian count-down signals, an emergency vehicle pre-emption system, new corner radii to reduce pedestrian crossing distances, pedestrian median refuges, bike lanes, and bike detectors. However, the City cannot guarantee in advance that Caltrans will approve the mitigation, so the impact is currently considered significant and unavoidable. 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 7-6: Near Term Plus Project Impact on Woodside Road/Bay Road Intersection. Under Near Term Plus Project conditions during the PM peak hour, project traffic would cause this intersection to degrade from LOS D (44.9 seconds delay) to LOS F (91.1 seconds delay). Mitigation: Mitigation 7-6. Implement Mitigation 7-2 (the project applicant would be responsible for fully funding/completing the mitigation). Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 7-6 would improve the level of service (LOS) at this intersection to an acceptable LOS D in the PM peak hour, resulting in a /ess- than-significant impact. However, because implementation of this mitigation would require Caltrans approval, the City cannot ensure its construction. Without implementation of the proposed mitigation, the impact would be significant and unavoidable. ATTY/RES0.2901/STANFORD EIR CERTIFICATION REV:08-29-13 VR Page 30 of 56
