a,7.A. - Page 45 construction of a single-lane roundabout, which if found feasible after design, could be substituted in the City Traffic Impact Fee Program (TIF) for option (a). In either case, the project would contribute its City Traffic Impact Fee. 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 7-11: Existing Plus Project Impacts on US 101 Freeway Segments. Traffic generated by the proposed project alone is expected to result in the following freeway segment operational effects: ■ northbound US 101 (mixed flow) lanes between Whipple Avenue and SR 92 (PM)--an additional 4.6 percent of the freeway segment capacity; ■ southbound US 101 (mixed flow) lanes between SR 92 and Whipple Avenue (AM)--an additional 3.0 percent of the freeway segment capacity; and ■ southbound US 101 (mixed flow) lanes between Whipple Avenue and County line (PM)--an additional 1.6 percent of the freeway segment capacity. Mitigation: Mitigation 7-11. Mitigation of these effects to a less-than-significant level would require construction of an additional mixed flow lane on US 101. Caltrans, which has jurisdiction over improvements to US 101, has no plans to widen the affected freeway segments due to right of way limitations. Recent improvements in the US 101 corridor have added auxiliary lanes between the interchanges from State Route 92 to Marsh Road. The scheduled construction of auxiliary lanes on US 101 between Marsh Road and Embarcadero Road would alleviate congestion on the affected segments to some extent, but would not be sufficient to reduce this impact to less-than-significant. Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 7-11 is determined to be infeasible. Therefore, the impact is expected to remain significant and unavoidable. Facts in Support of Finding: Implementation of Mitigation 7-11 would require construction of an additional mixed flow lane on US 101, which is under Caltrans jurisdiction and for which Caltrans has no current plans due to right of way limitations. The impact is expected to remain 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 7-12: Cumulative With Project Impact on Veterans Boulevard/ Woodside Road Intersection. Under Cumulative With Project conditions during the PM peak hour, the intersection would remain at LOS F and the proposed project could contribute up to 22.8 seconds of critical delay to the intersection.
