circulation projects. In addition, two alternatives to the project, discussed later, will <br />be analyzed at a more qualitative level (using comparative model output measures <br />like trip generation). <br />Kittelson will utilize the latest version of the Alameda CTC Countywide model <br />with ABAG Projections 2009. This scope does not assume any enhancements will <br />be made to the Alameda CTC Countywide model in terms of adding new zones or <br />recalibration. This scope does not address the issue of baseline plus project <br />conditions in light of recent CEQA court decisions, therefore the scope only <br />covers an analysis of 2035 cumulative plus project conditions. <br />Based on the forecasts produced by the Countywide travel model, Kittelson will <br />perform future year build out traffic operations analyses for the Baseline and <br />Preferred Alternative and will perform standard NCHRP-255 adjustments to <br />minimize the inherent validation errors in the "raw" modeled forecast volumes. <br />Kittelson will calculate highway segment, local roadways and intersections LOS <br />using planned future year lane geometry, forecast traffic volumes, and intersection <br />signal phasing (for future signalized intersections). Kittelson will review future year <br />LOS forecast results for reasonableness relative to existing conditions and will <br />identify future deficiencies in the study area. <br />Kittelson will utilize the Countywide model to produce 2035 VMT estimates for <br />the City of San Leandro using the Origin -Destination method under both the <br />existing General Plan (No Project Alternative) and the proposed General Plan <br />update. The information will be summarized by internal -internal, internal-external <br />and external-internal to San Leandro, after removing of external -external <br />components. This information, as well as speeds and fleet mix, will also be <br />transmitted to The Planning Center I DC&E for the GHG analysis portion of the <br />EIR. Trip generation projections for the proposed General Plan will be <br />determined and presented in a tabular format. <br />As part of the CMP requirements to address the Alameda CTC guidelines, <br />Kittelson will perform a separate roadway segment analysis that evaluates the <br />impacts of the proposed General Plan Update on CMP- and MTS -designated <br />routes and transit facilities identified by CTC staff in their NOP comments. <br />An assessment of multimodal circulation will be provided relative to issues such as <br />connectivity and alternative mode facilities. Impacts on multimodal circulation will <br />be assessed based on the policies and goals set forth in the Transportation <br />Element. Significant impacts to vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle and transit operation <br />
