intersection
of
Guadalupe
Canyon
Parkway
and
Carter
Street
is
projected
to
operate
at
LOS
B
in
both
the
AM
and
PM
peak
periods.
Since
the
impact
would
not
be
significant,
additional
analysis
is
not
required.

Study
intersections
were
identified
by
the
City
of
Brisbane
as
lead
agency
at
the
time
of
the
NOP
to
fully
capture
the
impacts
of
Project
Site
development.
The
intersections
were
selected
based
on
traffic
patterns,
modeling
results,
and
engineering
judgment.
These
intersections
were
not
included
for
study
since
the
majority
of
the
land
use
is
concentrated
at
the
northern
section
of
the
Baylands
site
and
would
be
most
logically
accessed
via
the
Beatty
Avenue/Alana
Way/Harney
Way
interchanges.
The
Geneva
Avenue
Extension
and
the
US
101
interchange
at
Geneva
Avenue/Harney
Way
are
described
on
page
4.N-44
of
the
Draft
EIR.
Intersecting
streets
within
the
Baylands
site
were
not
included
as
part
of
intersection
level
impact
analysis
because
the
development
scenario
and
exact
configuration
of
internal
streets
have
not
been
finalized.
Impact
4.N-1
and
Impact
4.N-3
discuss
impacts
to
the
Geneva
Avenue
extension
as
well
as
at
the
Geneva
Avenue/US
101
Southbound
Ramps
interchange.
For
the
Geneva
Avenue
extension,
the
Draft
EIR
recognized
that
closely
spaced
intersections
could
result
in
traffic
queuing
at
one
intersection
that
would
back
up
into
another
intersection,
creating
congestion.
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-1g
therefore
specifies
that
a
microsimulation
analysis
of
all
proposed
intersections
along
the
Geneva
Avenue
extension
be
conducted
if
intersection
spacing
is
less
than
1,200
feet.
As
stated
in
Master
Response
28,
the
microsimulation
analysis
called
for
in
Mitigation
Measure
4.G-1g
was
conducted,
and
concluded
that
signal
timing
could
be
achieved
such
that
(1)
traffic
would
not
back
up
from
one
intersection
to
another
along
the
proposed
Geneva
Avenue
extension,
even
where
intersections
were
closely
spaced,
and
(2)
roadway
level
of
service
performance
standards
along
Geneva
Avenue
would
be
met.
For
the
interchange,
cumulative
impacts
were
identified
in
the
Draft
EIR
operations
analysis
(Intersection
9).
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-3f
(page
4.N-121)
states,
“The
City
of
Brisbane
shall
work
with
the
San
Francisco
County
Transportation
Authority
(SFCTA),
San
Francisco
Municipal
Transportation
Authority
(SFMTA),
and
Caltrans
to
ensure
that
projected
traffic
volumes
are
accounted
for
in
the
design
of
the
Geneva
Avenue
&
US
101
Southbound
Ramps
intersection
as
part
of
the
Geneva
Avenue
extension
project.”
