The
Draft
EIR
impact
analysis
uses
quantitative
inputs
to
determine
the
intersection
delay
and
LOS.
As
stated
on
page
4.N-100,
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-
1e
would
improve
intersection
operations
at
Tunnel
Avenue/Bayshore
Boulevard
to
operate
at
LOS
D
for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
during
the
AM
peak
period
and
for
DSP-V
during
the
PM
peak
period.
For
the
CPP
and
CPP-V
scenarios,
the
intersection
would
improve
to
LOS
E
or
remain
at
LOS
F.
The
impacts
would
be
significant
and
unavoidable
under
the
DSP,
CPP,
and
CPP-V
scenarios.
As
stated
27,
trips
that
will
be
generated
by
future
development
outside
of
the
Baylands
are
not
included
in
the
Existing
or
Existing
plus
Project
scenario.
As
noted
approved
and
proposed
projects
in
the
vicinity
of
the
Baylands
are
included
in
cumulative
impact
analyses.
As
part
of
the
City’s
planning
review
and
decision
making,
necessary
measures
to
maintain
General
Plan
level
of
service
standards
will
be
evaluated.
Approval,
modification,
or
denial
of
proposed
Baylands
development
will
ultimately
be
decided
by
the
Brisbane
City
Council
based
on
information
provided
in
the
EIR
and
the
City’s
planning
review
being
undertaken
in
addition
to
CEQA
review.
See
4
for
discussion
of
the
relationship
between
the
environmental
analysis
provided
in
the
EIR
and
the
various
planning
review
activities
the
City
will
undertake
before
making
a
decision
regarding
proposed
Baylands
development.
The
comment
asserts
that
the
numbers
shown
in
the
referenced
table
“appear
understated”
but
no
evidence
is
provided
in
support
of
the
assertion.
The
methodology
for
arena
trip
generation
and
trip
distribution
is
described
starting
on
page
4.N-83.
The
traffic
impact
analysis
uses
quantitative
data
to
inputs
to
determine
the
intersection
delay
and
LOS.
The
recommended
mitigation
to
maintain
acceptable
operations
during
an
event
is
that
the
arena
operator
shall
develop
a
Transportation
Management
Plan
(TMP)
for
coordination
with
the
San
Francisco
Municipal
Transportation
Agency
(SFMTA),
the
San
Francisco
Police
Department,
and
the
City
of
Brisbane,
developing
incentives
to
increase
transit
ridership
to
the
arena,
and
deploying
traffic
control
officers
at
the
unsignalized
intersection
of
Blanken
Avenue
and
Tunnel
Avenue
to
approximate
traffic
control
with
traffic
signals
of
LOS
C.
As
part
of
the
City’s
planning
review
and
decision
making,
necessary
measures
to
maintain
General
Plan
level
of
service
standards
will
be
evaluated.
See
