The City of San Leandro finds that, as to the significant effect identified above: Changes have been required of and incorporated into the project. These changes would substantially lessen the significant environmental effects thereof as identified in the Final EIR. This finding is based on the fact that the City of San Leandro shall require any new development occurring under the Strategy to incorporate General Plan policies and mitigation measures, as follows: Mitil?:ation for Transportation and Circulation Impacts Prior to any new development occurring within the TOD Strategy Area, the developer will provide a plan to the City of San Leandro that utilizes all or some combination of the following strategies to reduce transportation and circulation impacts: X Reconfigure the westbound approach to provide an exclusive left turn and a shared through-right lane. This configuration requires removal of on-street parking along the north side of Dutton Avenue from East 14th Street to approximately 140 feet east (removing five parking spaces). The 40-foot wide cross section of Dutton Avenue will accommodate two 1 0.5-foot wide lanes westbound, an II-foot wide eastbound lane, and an 8-foot wide parking lane on the south side of the street. X Southbound approach: convert outside through lane to a shared through-right lane providing dual right turns southbound. This improvement, in combination with proposed improvements as identified in the TOD Strategy, will require widening of the west side of East 14th Street by 6-10 feet. This widening could occur when the block between Davis and Hays is redeveloped. The proposed mitigation measure for East 14th / Davis Street (providing dual southbound right turn lanes) would preclude the City and CaItrans from implementing the long-term improvement comprised of a southbound queue jump lane for Bus Rapid Transit as proposed in the Downtown TOD Strategy. X Davis Street approaches: convert signal phasing to "permitted." This phasing requires that eastbound left-turns into the redevelopment access (former Hays Street) yield to oncoming through traffic. Since this left turn movement is relatively low (projected 62 vehicles per hour), excessive left turn queues would not build and the additional delay to the left turn movement is negligible. X Conversion of Hays Street between Davis Street and West Juana Avenue from Two- Way to One-Way Northbound. X Reducing the Number of Lanes on San Leandro Boulevard from Six (Plus a Center Turn Lane) to Four (Plus a Center Turn Lane) between Davis and William Streets. This proposed modification is intended to increase the separation between pedestrians and automobiles to enhance the pedestrian safety along San Leandro Boulevard, to improve pedestrian access across San Leandro Boulevard to the BART station, to ]9
