Environmental Checklist Transportation/Traffic <br /> Initial Study – Mitigated Negative Declaration 89 <br />traffic entering the intersection during the peak hour. In this case, the average delay for all <br />motorists under cumulative conditions with project traffic is 7.9 seconds with LOS A. <br />The peak-hour signal warrant from the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) was <br />evaluated for the unsignalized intersection of Alvarado Street and Montague Avenue. This <br />intersection was found to not meet CA MUTCD peak hour signal warrants during the AM and PM <br />peak hours for Cumulative and Cumulative plus Project Conditions. As it is the City’s policy and a <br />best practice not to install signals that are not warranted, no signal is required for the intersection. <br />Accordingly, this impact would not be significant. Therefore, based on the City of San Leandro LOS <br />impact criteria, the project would have a less than significant impact at the study intersections <br />during both A.M. and P.M. peak hours. <br />Two roadway segment operations were evaluated under cumulative traffic conditions in the year <br />2035. Both roadway segments were found to operate within City of San Leandro standards during <br />the A.M. and P.M. peak hours (Table 25). As the project would not impact a roadway segment to <br />change from LOS E to better to LOS F or, for those segments at LOS F, increase the volume to <br />capacity ratio (V/C) by more than 0.02, the project would have a less than significant impact at the <br />study segments during both A.M. and P.M. peak hours. <br />Table 25 Cumulative plus Project Conditions Roadway Segment Level of Service – Warehouse <br />Roadway <br />Segment Direction <br />Peak <br />Hour <br />Cumulative <br />Conditions <br />Cumulative plus <br />Project <br />Conditions Change <br />in V/C <br />Ratio1 <br />Change <br />in <br />Volume <br />Significant <br />Impact?
