The
comment
incorrectly
characterizes
the
content
of
the
Draft
EIR.
The
referenced
“100
net
new
vehicle
trips
during
peak
hours”
is
a
threshold
used
in
the
San
Mateo
County
Congestion
Management
Plan
used
to
impose
requirements
for
traffic
analysis
and
the
establishment
of
transportation
demand
management
programs.
The
DSP
scenario
would
result
in
5,351
new
vehicle
trips
during
the
AM
peak
period
and
4,946
new
vehicle
trips
during
the
PM
peak
period.
The
DSP-V
scenario
projects
4,890
new
vehicle
trips
during
the
AM
peak
period
and
4,697
vehicle
trips
during
the
PM
peak
period.
The
CPP
scenario
projects
5,835
new
vehicle
trips
during
the
AM
peak
period
and
6,180
new
vehicle
trips
during
the
PM
peak
period.
The
CPP-V
scenario
projects
5,444
new
vehicle
trips
during
the
AM
peak
period
and
5,847
new
vehicle
trips
during
the
PM
peak
period.
See
Table
4.N-
14
and
4.N-15,
pages
4.N-80
and
4.N-81
of
the
Draft
EIR,
for
more
information.
As
stated
on
page
4.N-72
of
the
Draft
EIR,
trip
generation
for
the
Recology
land
use
was
based
on
the
trip
generation
study
for
the
Recology
Master
Plan
(Recology,
2010).
Trucks
are
included
as
a
percentage
of
vehicle
composition
for
the
impact
analysis.
See
for
discussion
of
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-13,
TDM
programs,
and
their
enforceability.
The
first
bullet
under
San
Mateo
County
Transit
District
(SamTrans)
on
page
4.N-15
of
the
Draft
EIR
has
been
revised
to
read
as
follows:
Route
#292
provides
service
from
downtown
San
Francisco,
through
Brisbane,
to
South
San
Francisco,
San
Francisco
International
Airport,
and
Burlingame,
and
ends
at
Hillsdale
Shopping
Center
in
San
Mateo.
In
Brisbane
along
the
Project
Site’s
western
edge,
the
bus
stops
on
Bayshore
Boulevard
at
Geneva
Avenue,
Industrial
Way,
Guadalupe
Canyon
Parkway,
and
Valley
Drive.
It
also
stops
at
the
Park-n-Ride
lot
located
at
Old
County
Road
and
Bayshore
Boulevard,
just
outside
the
Project
Site
boundary.
This
service
provides
about
43
buses
per
weekday
between
the
hours
of
5:00
AM
and
2:00
AM
with
headways
of
approximately
20
minutes
during
peak
periods.
There
are
approximately
4,000
weekly
boardings
of
Route
#292,
which
is
the
fourth
highest
ridership
in
the
SamTrans
system.
No
factual
evidence
is
provided
to
support
the
comment
assertion
that
traffic
conditions
for
bicyclists
were
not
adequately
studied.
