cumulative
impact
analysis
provided
in
Section
4.N,
Traffic
and
Circulation
under
Impact
4.N-3
and
Impact
4.N-4.
As
discussed,
roadway
level
of
service
standards
would
be
exceeded,
and
significant
cumulative
impacts
would
result
under
Cumulative
without
Project
conditions
for
roadway
intersections
and
freeway
mainline
segments.
Tables
4.N-31
and
4.N-32
identify
the
intersections
that
would
experience
unacceptable
LOS
under
the
cumulative
with
project
conditions
during
weekday
AM
and
PM
peak
hours.
Even
with
incorporation
of
the
recommended
mitigation
measures,
impacts
would
remain
significant
and
unavoidable
for
several
intersections.
Table
4.N-33
identifies
the
mainline
segments
that
would
experience
unacceptable
LOS
under
the
cumulative
with
project
conditions
during
AM
and
PM
peak
hours.
Even
with
incorporation
of
the
recommended
mitigation
measures,
the
impacts
of
Project
Site
development
on
freeway
mainline
operations
would
still
remain
significant.
Chapter
6.0
accurately
summarizes
the
cumulative
analysis
set
forth
in
Section
4.N
(page
6-45)
by
stating,
“The
addition
of
project
site
development-related
traffic
is
cumulatively
considerable
due
to
the
large
amount
of
traffic
that
would
be
generated
by
each
Project
site
development
scenario,
as
demonstrated
in
Section
4.N.”

the
use
of
the

and
requirements
for
environmental

for
subsequent
site-specific

projects
within
the
Baylands,
including
site
remediation
and
