Stanford in Redwood City Precise Plan Final E 7.A. - Pag2 247 City of Redwood City 7. Transportation, Circulation, ,.,,,. , ,.,,.,,,y August 6, 2013 Page 7�4 Mitigation 7-9. Implement Mitigation 7-4 (the project applicant would be responsible for fully funding/completing the mitigation). With these improvements, the level of service (LOS) at this intersection would improve to an acceptable LOS C during both peak hours, and the impact would be less-than-significant. Impact 7-10: Near Term Plus Project Impact on 5th Avenue/Bay Road Intersection. Under Near Term Plus Project conditions during the PM peak hour, project traffic would cause the intersection to degrade from LOS C (21.8 seconds delay) to LOS E (38.4 seconds delay). In addition, this intersection would have peak hour volume increases large enough under both peak hours to satisfy the peak hour signal warrant. According to City guidelines, these changes would constitute a significant project impact(see criteria for"Intersection Impacts" in subsection 7.4.1, "Significance Criteria," above). Mitigation 7-10(a). The signalization of the 5th Avenue/Bay Road intersection is a transportation project included in the City's 2000 Traffic Impact Fee Program (TIF). Payment by the project applicant of its City Traffic Impact Fee in effect at time of payment and issuance of a building permit or alternativelv applicant's full fundina or construction of the improvement subiect to potential reimbursement as provided in the Precise Planl would mitigate this impact. To mitigate the project's impact at the intersection of 5th Avenue and Bay Road, the intersection would need to be signalized. (5th Avenue is considered north-south and Bay Road is considered east- west.) No further improvements would be required. With this improvement, the level of service (LOS) at this intersection would improve to an acceptable LOS B during both peak hours. or Mitigation 7-10(b). Mitigation of the project's impact at the intersection of 5th Avenue and Bay Road would require the conversion of the all-way stop controlled intersection to a single lane roundabout. The existing road widths at 5th Avenue and Bay Road would allow up to an 85-foot-diameter roundabout. If the design work shows that the 85-foot-diameter roundabout would not require the acquisition of additional right-of-way and would not create additional safety hazards for motorists, pedestrians, or bicyclists compared to Mitigation 7-10(a), and if substantial evidence at the time the roundabout is proposed shows that the roundabout would not divert traffic to other intersections, the roundabout shall be considered feasible and may be substituted for Mitigation 7-10(a). ae^°��nt�g�+�n�o�°` ;� ;n^',,,��,��;° ('i��i'c� TIC r�rr�ion� lic�� ho r�rr�r�r�c�oi-1 r�rr�ion� �eir�i ili-1 mi�irv.��o i�c� nr�n�rihi i�ir�n �r� �hic� 0 r (continued) T 1706721FE1RI7-r2(70672J.doc
