?Environrnental Analysis <br /> Tl�e proposed project would add infxastructure to the area and would increase the appeal of the <br /> designated developrr�ent areas east and west of US 101. The project would be consistent with both <br /> development plans and would accommodate the projected popularion gxo«rth in the Bapfront and <br /> Downtown areas advocated in the Urban Form Land Use Element of the Ciry General.Plan (City of <br /> Redwood City, 2011}. Thexefare, the propased project would not individually or cumulatively induce <br /> population growth in the project area. The propased project fulfills long-term planning goals and <br /> would not,in itself,induce substantial population growth in the area.

The praposed praject would displace tl�is informal community of <br /> people living under the bridge. However,the City has a number of homeless prevention prograrns <br /> that would be available to these individuals prior to the commencement of project construcuon. As <br /> discussed above in Section 2.1Q,Land Use and Panning, homeiess services range fxom emergency <br /> shelte�to transitional housing to shared hausix�g to permanent housing according to the Ciry's <br /> Conrinuum of Care plan. Therefore,the City's available pragrams woutd be a suitable alternarive to <br /> the homeless population. Impacts to popularion and housing would be less than significant. (Less <br /> than Significant Impact) <br /> 2.14 PUBLIC SERVICES <br /> The e�cisting fire protection,police services,and governmental services ate sufficient to suppart the <br /> project development. The proposed project would not involve the construction of new housing <br /> ututs or residenrial development that would necessitate an increased demand for addirional services <br /> and manpower,ox the expansion of exisring services. <br /> The proposed pxoject is not considered to be a commercial or residential project requiting impact <br /> fees to be paid to the Redwood Ciry 5chool District that oversees building permits issued. There <br /> would be no impact to schools in the area from the proposed project. According to the Building <br /> Communitp Element of the City General Plan,the closest park to the project area is Courthouse <br /> Square�'ark,which is approxi�nately 0.4 miles away (City of Redwood Cit�-,2011}. The pxoposed <br /> project would have no impact on existing park services. No addirional types of public services would <br /> be needed for the praposed project facilities. <br /> 2-57 US 10� Pedestrian Undercrossang and Bair <br /> Islazad Kaad Star'aa Dragn Pump Station Project <br />
