C. The MPCS provides a basis for estimating San <br />Leandro's projected traffic needs and the street improvements <br />necessary to accommodate that traffic. The study also estimates <br />the construction costs of the proposed street improvements and <br />develops a basis for determining a fair allocation of those costs <br />among the users of the streets. <br />D. The MPCS projects that there will be approximately <br />a 14% rise in population and a 17% rise in employment in San <br />Leandro by the year 2005. Concurrently there will be new <br />residential, commercial and industrial development. The MPCS <br />has found that all categories of development will generate <br />additional traffic. The MPCS concludes that this forecasted new <br />development will generate approximately 11,000 new p.m. peak hour <br />trips through the city per day. <br />E. The current system of streets in San Leandro is not <br />sufficient to accommodate the amount of traffic to be generated by <br />the new development. Many streets and intersections are already <br />at or near capacity. Without.significant street improvement, as <br />well as implementation of other traffic mitigation strategies, the <br />level of service available on the city's streets will seriously <br />deteriorate, resulting in a failure to attract economic <br />development, a decrease in land values, a decrease in tax <br />revenues, more traffic accidents, lower levels of employee <br />productivity, and impairment of the public health, safety and <br />welfare. <br />-2- <br />I <br />
