CITY OF SAN LEANDRO SAN LEANDRO GENERAL PLAN UPDATE AND HR E X H I B I T A: S C O P E O F WORK AND COSTS service will be described,including routes and frequency of service, and presented graphically. Information regarding existing bicycle facilities will be obtained from the 2010 San Leandro Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and confirmed in the field. Nlaps in the Bicycle/Pedestrian Plan will be reproduced in a summary figure. Kittelson will review all the relevant documents to identify existing and planned transportation and circulation issues and improvements. Kittelson will use the relevant information in the background reports to develop baseline environmental conditions for transportation. This information will be available to City staff and will be used by Kittelson in the preparation of the traffic setting section of the EIR. This analysis will include a description of vehicular and alternative transportation facilities,such as roadways, bicycle lanes,trails,public transit routes and stops (bus and rail), and sidewalks. The study will include a discussion of the local and regional policies affecting circulation. Kittelson will also document existing levels of service at key City roadways and intersections and report daily volumes on City roadways. The current General Plan analyzed a total of 31 study intersections. If necessary, this will be supplemented by additional intersections, some that were studied as part of recent F_IR's, and potentially expanded up to 35 study intersections through coordination with City staff. The LOS will be performed for weekday AM and PM peak hour for each study area intersection. Results of the analysis will be described in the text and summarized in a Level of Service table. Copies of all calculations will be provided in a technical appendix. Current City traffic guidelines require that level of service be conducted using the HCM 2000 Methodology. Kittelson will coordinate with City staff whether to keep the analysis in HCM 2000 or update the methodology to more recent methods (HCM 2010). Based on the analysis described above relative to the applicable performance service standards for each facility analyzed, Kittelson will identify existing deficiencies in the study area. For facilities identified as deficient, Kittelson will confirm these with City (and Caltrans staff for state-owned facilities) based on empirical field observations and other traffic operations analyses that may have been performed for the same facility and location. In addition, Kittelson will conduct Multimodal LOS (MMLOS) using the 2010 HCM, as implemented by the CompleteStreets LOS software, for key segments of the E.14th Street corridor in San Leandro.
