SAN LEANDRO GENERAL PLAN UPDATE FINAL EIR <br />CITY OF SAN LEANDRO <br />EXECUTIVE SUMMARY <br />LTS = Less Than Significant S = Significant SU = Significant Unavoidable Impact N/A = Not Applicable <br />PLACEWORKS 2-27 <br />TABLE 2-1 SUMMARY OF IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES <br />Impact <br />Significance <br />before <br />Mitigation Mitigation Measures <br />Significance <br />after <br />Mitigation <br />All impacted freeway sections would require additional capacity or <br />widening to mitigate the impacts to less than significant. If the <br />widenings are feasible, then future development implementing the <br />Proposed Plan would contribute its fair share through development <br />fees for street improvements. To this end, the City shall coordinate <br />with Caltrans and the Alameda CTC to develop a co-operative <br />agreement to fund these improvements and determine the fair <br />share contribution. Since these mitigations are not certain, the <br />findings remain as significant and unavoidable. <br />TRAF-2A: The Proposed Plan would cause the volume-to- <br />capacity (v/c) ratio on the northbound segment of <br />Doolittle Drive, which would operate at Level of Service <br />(LOS) F, to increase by 0.04 under Year 2040 conditions in <br />the AM peak hour. Therefore, this is considered a <br />significant impact. <br />S TRAF-2A: Implementation of the following improvement would <br />reduce the impact to acceptable levels: <br /> Widen Doolittle Drive to provide an additional travel lane in the <br />northbound direction; or <br /> Provide transit or shuttle service that operates between the <br />Proposed Plan site and key locations such as San Leandro and <br />Coliseum BART stations and Oakland International Airport.; or <br /> Restripe Doolittle Drive to convert the existing bike lanes into <br />buffered or protected bike lanes. <br />Widening Doolittle Drive to provide an additional travel lane in the <br />northbound direction would improve the level of service to LOS D in <br />Year 2040 and would mitigate the Proposed Plan impact to less than <br />significant. However, the feasibility of this measure is uncertain due <br />to right of way constraints along this mostly developed corridor. <br /> Alternatively, provision of a shuttle service that operates between <br />the City site and key locations, such as San Leandro and Coliseum <br />BART stations and Oakland International Airport, during the AM and <br />PM peak hour would likely lessen the Proposed Plan’s impact on the <br />segment. However, the effectiveness of the shuttle service in <br />reducing the number of Proposed Plan trips on Doolittle Drive <br />cannot be adequately quantified. <br /> Provision of buffered or protected bike lanes could make the bike <br />facility attractive to more potential bike riders and lead to a shift in <br />mode of travel among some people and further reduce vehicle trips <br />along Doolittle Drive. However, the degree to which people would <br />shift modes cannot be adequately quantified. <br />SU
