the BART station access concepts and the San Leandro Boulevard design concepts. The primary stakeholders involved in this task are AC Transit and BART. Specific analyses include: • A review of the current bus access and routing serving the BART station. • Discussions with AC Transit and BART regarding existing and desired bus bay capacity, and work with BART and AG Transit to better estimate the bus bay capacity of the station (see Task 2.4 below). • An evaluation of the feasibility of expanding existing shuttle service to the BART station and accommodating additional private shuttle services (this is lirraited to station design issues, not ridership estimates). • A summary of the potential changes in transit patterns and ridership for services within the study area based on proposed and planned development. • An evaluation of bus stop zones on San Leandro Boulevard and those proposed on San Leandro Boulevard as an expansion of the transit plaza (see Task 2.4 below). 2.3 Traffic Study This study proposes to analyze San Leandro Boulevard at a greater level of detail than included in the Strategy ElR, based on The Crossings study, which included a more detailed analysis of San Leandro Boulevard. The traffic analysis in this task will, to the extent possible, use previous analysis data and prepare a study to supplement the Strategy and support the design concepts being proposed. Since we do not anticipate any additional significant impacts to those in the Strategy EIR; a Supplemental EIlZ will not be required for this study. The TRAFFIX model developed for the Strategy EIR and refined for The Crossings study will be fiu-ther modified to analyze San Leandro Boulevard to the level of detail necessary. The following is a list of the study intersections. Kimley-Horn has AM and PM peak hour traffic volumes for the intersections (with the year counted in parenthesis). • San Leandro Boulevard/Davis Street (2006) • San Leandro Boulevard/West Estudillo Avenue (no volumes available) • San Leandro BoulevardlWest Juana Avenue (2008) • San Leandro Boulevard/Parrott Street (2008) San Leandro Boulevard/Thornton Street (2008) • San Leandro Boulevard/Williams Street (2006) 2.3.1 Level of Service Analysis Intersection level of service analysis will be performed using the operations method from the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). Unless otherwise directed by Caltrans or the City, levels of service and vehicle queuing will be evaluated using Synchro and/or TRAFFIX software. Unsignalized intersection level of service will be performed using the operations method from the 2000 HCM and evaluated for peak hour signal warrants.
