Existing Conditions. The traffic impact analysis will include a focused analysis for a minimum of four key opportunity sites. Additionally, the traffic impact analysis would assess conditions of alternatives - incorporating specific development or infrastructure modifications. This task will evaluate the feasibility and implications of closing Hays Street from Davis Street to East 14th Street to create a creekside greenway and maximize the development potential of the Townhall Square opportunity site, which is located directly across from the proposed Downtown San Leandro BR T Station. This evaluation will examine changes in traffic patterns with the closure and its affect on adjacent intersection operations. It will also evaluate land access, and potential ramifications to pedestrian, bicycle and transit circulation. 4.3.7 Transit, Pedestrian, and Bicycle Circulation Analysis In addition to analysis of traffic operations and level of service, the alternative scenarios will be evaluated in terms of transit service, facilities, and modal integration, as well as pedestrian and bicycle circulation, access and safety. The evaluation will include transit routing, ridership impacts, service impacts, gaps in pedestrian and bicycle systems, etc. Pedestrian usage will be estimated for the study area. This task will result in revisions to the multi-modal circulation plan to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety and accessibility. The Parking Demand Analysis will also be reviewed by the Environmental Team for its relevance to the Environmental Impact Report in Task 6. 4.3.8 Traffic Demand Analysis Report and Circulation Study The Traffic Demand Analysis will be reviewed by the Environmental Team for its relevance to the Environmental Impact Report in Task 6. Following review of a draft, a final version will be prepared and submitted. 4.3.9 Station Access Improvements and Design Standards The BMS Design Group Team will coordinate with the City and transit agencies to integrate transit agency design guidelines and standards into the downtown strategies' policies, circulation plans, and development guidelines. This task builds upon the multi-modal assessment in Task 4 and focuses on accessibility and integration of transit within the downtown, as described above, as well as assessment of the changes in transit ridership under various land use alternatives. 4.3.10 Prepare Station Access Improvement Plan and Design Standards The number of potential transit riders will be estimated for one land use alternative with an analysis of the different access modes to the BRT station. The other two alternatives would be assessed qualitatively for their impact on transit ridership. The inter-modal potential with the nearby BART station and City LINKS bus shuttle will also be explored. This task will partly rely on ridership forecasts and methodology prepared by AC Transit as part of the Berkeley/Oakland/San Leandro Corridor MIS and BRT EIR, partly on ACCMA model mode share and trip distribution data, and partly un mude share projections developed as part of the trip generation analysis in Task 4.3.6.
