2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST As specified under Measure T-1, the City would obtain all necessary local road encroachment permit prior to construction and would comply with the applicable conditions. As deemed necessary by the City, the road encroachment permits will require the contractor to prepare a traffic control plan in accordance with professional engineering standards prior to construction. Specific requirements that may be included in the traffic control plan are identified under Measure T-1. Implementation of Measure T-1 would ensure potential impacts associated with temporary increases in construction traffic would be mitigated to a Less-than-significant level. c) As discussed in Section 1.0, Project Description, the Project would involve the construction of recycled water facilities. Therefore, there would be no impact to air traffic patterns or increase in safety risks as a result of the Project. d) The Project would not change the configuration (alignment) of area roadways, and would not introduce types of vehicles that are not already traveling on area roads. However, heavy equipment operating adjacent to or within road right-of-ways would increase the risk of accidents. Construction-generated trucks on Project area roadways would interact with other vehicles. Potential conflicts also could occur between construction traffic and bicyclists and pedestrians. Implementation of Measure T-1 would require the contractor to prepare a traffic control plan in accordance with professional engineering standards prior to construction, including compliance with roadside safety protocols, so as to reduce the risk of accident. Specific requirements that may be included in the traffic control plan are identified under Measure T-1. Thus, implementation of Measure T-1 would ensure temporary increases in the potential for accidents would be mitigated to aless-than-significant level. e) The Project would have temporary effects on traffic flow, particularly with routes within road rights of way. Pipeline installation within or across streets and temporary reduction in travel lanes could result in delays for emergency vehicle access in the vicinity of the work site. Implementation of Measure T-1 would require the construction contractor to establish methods for maintaining traffic flow in the Project vicinity and minimizing disruption to emergency vehicle access to land uses along the alignment. Specific requirements that may be included in the traffic control plan are identified under Measure T-l . Implementation of Measure T-1 would ensure potential impacts associated with temporary effects on emergency access would be mitigated to ales-than-significant level. fl The Project would create limited new, temporary parking demand for construction workers and construction vehicles the crew moves along the installation alignment. As discussed, the Project would not generate a substantial number of construction workers along the alignment; therefore, the number of parking spaces required would not be substantial. There is no construction on Neptune Drive and only a pipeline crossing on Monarch Bay Drive. Implementation of Measure T-1 would require the construction contractor to establish methods for minimizing construction effects on parking. Specific requirements that may be included in the traffic control plan are identified under Measure T-1. Implementation of Measure T-1 would ensure potential impacts associated with potential temporary displacement of on-street parking would be mitigated to ales-than-significant level. g) The Project would have no lasting impact on demand for alternative transportation or on alternative transportation facilities. The only location that could disrupt bus traffic is on Monarch Bay Drive and then only during construction of the pipeline segment that crosses Monarch Bay Drive. The street would be open for traffic in both directions so the bus would slow but proceed. San Leandro Rccyclcd W atcr Project 2-46 ESA / 1A3193 Dtafr IS/MI~ID
