Access and Staging Areas The contractor for the job would use three areas as designated staging areas. Heavy equipment would access the southern portion of the construction site using Davis Street and the existing paved trail in the regional park. A staging area has been identified at a wide flat section adjacent to the park trail. The two other staging areas are in an existing equipment parking area, west of the City's wastewater treatment plant, and at another semi -paved area near an existing building at the north end of the levee maintenance road. The project would have no effect on air traffic patterns. The project would not require Oakland International Airport flight operations to be modified. The project would also not involve the realignment or re-design of any critical transportation facilities, such as area roadways, and would not increase hazards due to design features. The project would not conflict with any alternative transportation policies and would not affect plans for alternative forms of transportation. Public and emergency access to the existing park facilities could be affected by construction equipment and truck traffic. Access to the construction site would be required through the existing Davis Street entrance to the shoreline park, and through the City's wastewater treatment plant gate. A construction detour traffic plan has not been proposed, but should be implemented as part of the project. Impact XV-I: Trucks and heavy equipment used during construction could block public access, or emergency access, or could affect City operations at the wastewater treatment plant Mitigation Measure XV-1: The project bid specifications shall be amended to require preparation of a Truck and Equipment Circulation Program that includes the following components: . An emergency vehicle access plan that identifies routes for emergency vehicles into the construction area; . A public access plan that requires the contractor to ensure that public access to the Oyster Bay Regional Shoreline is maintained, and that any required periods of temporary closure of public access to regional park facilities be minimized and shall occur only after adequate public notification has been made; . A signage plan that requires the contractor to provide signage that informs recreational users of the regional park of 1) construction activities occurring within 300 feet (91.4 meters) of hiking or riding trails; 2) alternative visitor parking locations; and 3) temporary road closures and traffic detours; . A public notification plan that requires posting of notices of any scheduled temporary closures that specifies the length of the planned closure, at least 48 hours in advance. The closure notices shall be posted in three or more conspicuous locations near the park entrance and along the access road (Neptune Drive). The notice shall also be posted in advance on the EBRP D and city of San Leandro web sites, and advertised through other regional park and City publications. Y4204IS.00693.doc - 4/5/07 -40-
