comment
does
not
refer
to
or
recommend
an
alternate
accepted
methodology
reflecting
the
approach
suggested
in
the
comment.
According
to
the
ITE
Trip
Generation
Handbook
,
it
is
standard
procedure
that
pass-by
trips
be
removed
from
the
net
external
trips.
The
very
definition
of
a
pass-by
trip
is
that
the
trip
was
already
on
the
adjacent
roadway
network
before
entering
the
project
site,
and
thus
the
trip
would
not
be
attributed
to
the
project
upon
exiting
the
project
site.
Pass-by
trips
are
assigned
to
local
access
points,
and
not
to
external
intersection,
where
pass-by
trips
are
part
of
cumulative
without
project
traffic
volumes.
The
trip
assignment
process
does
not
reassign
trips
based
on
anticipated
congestion.
For
CEQA
purposes,
demand
volumes
are
used
for
operations
analysis.
According
to
the
ITE
Trip
Generation
Handbook
,
it
is
standard
procedure
that
diverted
linked
trips
be
removed
from
the
estimated
net
external
trips.
The
very
definition
of
a
diverted
linked
trip
is
that
the
trip
was
already
on
the
roadway
network
in
the
vicinity,
and
thus
the
trip
would
not
be
attributed
to
the
project.
Diverted
linked
trips
are
still
assigned
to
the
roads
connecting
the
project
site
with
the
road
from
which
the
trip
would
divert,
and
therefore
are,
in
fact,
included
in
the
operations
analysis.
The
second
paragraph
on
page
4.N-74
is
revised
to
read
as
follows:
The
travel
demand
analysis
assumes
implementation
of
the
improvements
to
transit
service
under
each
of
the
development
scenarios,
as
described
above.
Transit
improvements
would
be
in
addition
to
those
currently
proposed
as
part
of
the
Sam
San
Francisco
Municipal
Transportation
Agency
(SFMTA)
Transit
Effectiveness
Program.
The
transportation
analysis
in
the
Draft
EIR
represents
conditions
using
best
available
information
at
the
time
of
analysis
through
to
publication
of
the
Final
EIR.
As
stated
on
page
4.N-74
of
the
Draft
EIR,
the
MTC
Region
Travel
Demand
Model
informs
trip
distribution
for
the
City
of
Brisbane,
which
has
not
had
substantial
land
use
changes
since
2009.
See
for
discussion
of
how
major
future
development
projects
have
been
accounted
for
in
the
Draft
EIR’s
traffic
analysis.
