at
intersections
on
Bayshore

are
documented
in
the
Draft
EIR
under
Impact
4.N-1
and
Impact
4.N-3.
There
is
neither
existing
nor
proposed
transit
that
utilizes
the
Sierra
Point
Parkway
/
US
101
ramps,
therefore
the
traffic
impacts
would
not
affect
transit
operations.
See
for
information
on
the
inclusion
of
future
development
for
existing
analysis.
The
projects
noted
in
the
comment
are
included
in
the
cumulative
analysis,
which
takes
the
impacts
of
the
project
in
conjunction
with
the
impacts
of
past,
present
and
reasonably
foreseeable
future
development
into
account,
and
determines
whether
the
project’s
contribution
to
the
cumulative
impact
is
cumulatively
considerable,
i.e.,
significant.

The
intersection
of
San
Bruno
Avenue/Bayshore
Boulevard
is
projected
to
degrade
from
LOS
D
to
LOS
E
or
F
depending
on
the
development
scenario.
The
intersection
is
a
side-street
stop-
controlled
intersection
that
does
not
meet
the
Caltrans
peak
hour
signal
warrant
under
Existing
Plus
Project
conditions.
Because
Project
Site
development
would
add
less
than
5
percent
of
trips
to
the
critical
movement
at
this
intersection,
the
impact
would
be
less
than
significant.
Although
the
impact
of
Baylands
development
was
determined
to
be
less
than
significant
under
CEQA,
which
identifies
and
evaluates
the
physical
changes
of
projects
on
the
environment,
the
Draft
EIR
makes
no
assertion
as
to
whether
the
resulting
level
of
service
is
“acceptable”
to
the
community.
The
determination
as
to
whether
Project
Site
development
traffic’s
contribution
to
LOS
E
or
F
at
this
intersection
is
“acceptable”
will
be
made
as
part
of
the
City’s
planning
review
and
decision
making
for
the
Baylands.
See

for
discussion
of
differences
between
“significant
unavoidable”
and
“unacceptable”
impacts.
The
comment
refers
to
Intersection
#12,
Tunnel
Avenue
/
Bayshore
Boulevard
in
San
Francisco,
as
a
primary
exit-entry
point
for
central
Brisbane.
Comment
likely
means
to
refer
to
Intersection
#4,
Old
County
Road
/
Bayshore
Boulevard.
As
summarized
on
pages
4.N-96-97,
this
intersection
would
worsen
from
LOS
C
to
LOS
D
for
both
the
AM
and
PM
under
all
development
scenarios.
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-1b
would
improve
operations
under
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
to
LOS
C.
Under
the
CPP
and
CPP-V
scenarios,
LOS
would
remain
at
LOS
D,
even
with
the
implementation
of
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-1b.
The
analysis
concludes
that
the
project
impact
would
be
lee
than
significant
under
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
and
significant
and
unavoidable
under
the
CPP
and
CPP-V
scenarios.
The
Draft
EIR’s
impact
analysis
