The
Bi-County
Study
proposes
a
cost-participation
framework
for
large
land
sites
development,
which
includes
Project
Site
development.
Figure
4.N-15,
page
4.N-57
of
the
Draft
EIR,
includes
the
Bayshore
Intermodal
Station.
Figure
4.N-10
is
not
intended
to
provide
a
scaled
representation
of
the
width
of
the
proposed
Geneva
Avenue
extension.
As
currently
proposed,
Geneva
Avenue
at
the
US
101
overcrossing
would
contain
12
lanes
of
traffic
and
two
Class
II
bicycle
lanes.
A
Class
I
multi-
use
path
is
not
currently
proposed
on
the
overcrossing.
The
exact
engineering
design
configuration
of
Geneva
Avenue
at
Bayshore
Boulevard
has
not
yet
been
determined.
Figure

is
deleted
from
the
EIR.
The
last
bullet
point
on
page
4.N-47
under
“Transit
Improvements”
is
revised
to
read
as
follows:
Improvements
Described
in
the
Candlestick
Point-Hunters
Point
Shipyard
EIR
:
Planned
and/or
proposed
service
improvements
in
the
vicinity
of
the
Project
Site
(see
Figure
4.N-
11),
although
none
beyond
those
described
above
would
directly
serve
the
Project
Site.
A
travel
demand
model
such
as
SF-CHAMP
forecasts
trips
based
on
future
network
and
land
use
development
conditions.
The
initial
step,
trip
generation,
is
based
upon
the
intensity
and
types
of
land
use
in
each
travel
analysis
zone
(TAZ).
The
SF-CHAMP
model
forecasted
the
trips
generated
for
all
planned
network
changes
and
land
use
developments
to
provide
the
baseline
Cumulative
Without
Project
traffic
volumes
on
major
roadways.
The
SF-CHAMP
model
provides
high
level
forecasting
between
TAZ’s
that
are
typically
large
in
size.
To
provide
better
detail
for
trips
generated
by
the
proposed
Baylands
development,
trip
generation
was
calculated
separately
from
the
travel
demand
model,
as
the
proposed
land
uses
offer
more
fine-grained
data
in
both
the
types
of
land
use
and
the
location
of
the
land
use
on
the
project
site.
Those
trips
were
then
manually
added
and
assigned
to
the
street
network.
Details
on
Project
Site
development-generated
trip
forecasting
is
presented
in
the
“Project
Travel
Demand”
section
starting
on
page
4.N-71
of
the
Draft
EIR.
The
transportation
analysis
in
the
Draft
EIR
represents
conditions
using
the
best
information
available
during
the
environmental
review
process.
The
comment’s
assertion
that
updated
land
use
projections
should
be
used
is
noted;
however,
their
potential
inadequacy
in
future
transportation
impact
analysis
is
not
a
valid
claim
as
all
significant
proposed
land
use
in
the
project
vicinity
is
included
in
travel
demand
model
used
for
this
