congestion
are
captured
by
the
counts
themselves
and
are
reflected
in
the
reported
intersection
and
mainline
freeway
operations.
With
the
addition
of
Project
Site
development
traffic,
both
the
freeway
mainline
and
the
local
intersections
would
experience
increased
congestion.
The
resulting
intersection
operations
do
not
indicate
that
Bayshore
Boulevard
would
become
a
more
attractive
route
than
the
freeway
mainline
for
regional
trips.

as
they
were
in
the
2010
baseline
year.

Future

ABAG
P07
Projections,
which
includes
expected
development
throughout
the
nine-county
Bay
Area
region
between
2005
and
2030,
including
South
San
Francisco
and
the
development
(Centennial
Towers)
to
which
this
comment
refers.
South
San

job

is

to
increase
by
approximately
12,000

between
2010
and

The
comment
incorrectly
characterizes
the
baseline
condition.
The
baseline
represents
existing
conditions,
and
does
not
include
traffic
generated
by
future
development
projects.
Future
traffic
conditions
are
captured
in
the
cumulative
analysis.
See
for
discussion
as
to
how
future
development
projects
are
incorporated
into
the
analysis
of
future,
cumulative
impacts.
The
following
text
changes
have
been
made
to
the
last
paragraph
on
page
4.N-11
of
the
Draft
EIR:
As
shown
in
Table
4.N-4
,
all
analysis
segments
currently
experience
LOS
E
or
LOS
F
conditions
during
the
commute
periods
–
either
in
the
AM
or
PM
peak
hours,
with
the
segment
of
US
101
southbound
between
Third
Street/Bayshore
Boulevard
and
Sierra
Point
Parkway
experiencing
LOS
E
conditions
during
both
the
AM
and
PM
peak
hours.

Mitigation
Measure
4.N-13
is
primarily
recommended
to
satisfy
the
requirements
set
forth
in
the
San
Mateo
County
Congestion
Management
Plan.
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-13
is
also
recommended
for
Impact
4.N-2,
significant
impacts
to
the
freeway
mainline
segments.
The
mitigation
concludes
that
the
measure
“would
reduce
the
impact
but
not
to
a
less-than-significant
level”
