■ CITY OF SAN LEANDRO SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT EIR EXHIBIT A: WORK SCOPE AND COSTS Mainline freeway and ramp volumes at the I-880/Marina Boulevard interchange will be obtained from Caltrans. Existing Freeway mainline and ramp junction operations will be analyzed using the 2000 HCM methods. 3. EXISTING CONDITIONS KAI will describe the existing street and highway network and traffic conditions in the vicinity of the site, using collected data and field visits. KAI will collect weekday AM and PM and Saturday peak period intersection turning movements counts at the study intersections,and calculate intersection levels of service using the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) methods and the latest Synchro/SimTraffic Software(Note: Using the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) can be a supplemental option). Existing truck data in the area east of Doolittle Drive will be collected and considered in the analysis because the area also serves industrial uses. KAI will describe and summarize the operations of local and regional transit services including BART, AC Transit, and local shuttles in the study area. Bicycle and pedestrian facilities in the study area will also be inventoried and described. KAI will conduct field visits and qualitatively describe the existing on-street parking supply and weekday midday parking demand in the vicinity of the Project site. 4. TRIP GENERATION,DISTRIBUTION,AND ASSIGNMENT KAI will use published trip generation rates in Institute of Transportation Engineers(ITE)Trip Generation Version 9 if they are available and reliable. But certain land uses (Marina uses and Convention Center) may not accurately reflect the trip generation characteristics of the proposed land uses in the San Leandro Shoreline Development Project. KAI may develop unique weekday daily, AM, PM, and Saturday peak hour trip generation rates using data collected at other similar sites as part of the site planning efforts for the proposed project. Those new rates if any will be applied to the project to estimate the San Leandro Shoreline Development Project trips. Otherwise,the ITE Trip Generation Rates and methodology will be applied for the proposed project. Trip distribution and trip assignment estimates may be developed from the current Alameda County Travel Demand Model. Since the County model does not forecast Saturday conditions, KAI will generate weekend conditions by a similar process applied for the Kaiser THE PLANNING CENTER I DC&E 6 MAY 1,2013
