Organizations
Tables
4.N-31
and
4.N-32
reflect
traffic
that
would
be
generated
by
the
approved
and
proposed
projects
in
Daly
City
and
San
Francisco
listed
The
design
geometry
for
Geneva
Avenue
is
based
on
its
classification
as
an
arterial
and
balance
of
multi-modal
access.
The
design
includes
bicycle
lanes
and
sidewalks
(see
Signalized
intersections
would
allow
for
pedestrian
phases
with
appropriate
lengths
given
the
crossing
distances.
The
City
will
consider
the
planning-
and
development-oriented
comments
set
forth
in
this
and
other
comments
as
part
of
the
its
planning
review
and
decision
making
for
the
Baylands.
The
intersections
operations
analysis
takes
into
account
the
pedestrian
crossing
times.
The
Bus
Rapid
Transit
line
on
Geneva
Avenue
is
proposed
to
have
dedicated
transit
lanes,
allowing
buses
to
run
independent
of
congestion
in
mixed-flow
lanes.
A
HAWK
(High-Intensity
Activated
crossWalK)
beacon,
also
known
as
a
Pedestrian
Hybrid
Beacon,
is
a
special
traffic
signal
designed
to
protect
pedestrian
crossings
by
stopping
vehicular
road
traffic
when
activated.
A
buffered
bike
lane
is
a
bicycle
facility
that
is
separated
from
vehicular
traffic
with
a
designated
buffer
space
(width).
The
buffer
space
is
typically
striped
to
indicate
to
drivers
that
vehicles
should
not
use
the
space.
A
buffered
bike
lane
is
typically
safer
than
a
conventional
bicycle
lane
as
it
puts
the
cyclist
farther
from
vehicular
traffic.
Under
Cumulative
Without
Project
conditions,
the
SF-CHAMP
model
accounts
for
local
and
regional
growth,
as
well
as
trip
patterns
in
response
to
congestion
on
US
101.
Trips
that
divert
to
Bayshore
Boulevard
due
to
congestion
are
captured
in
the
Cumulative
Without
Project
intersection
volumes.
See
for
more
information
on
Cumulative
Conditions.
No
supporting
documentation
or
substantial
evidence
is
provided
to
support
the
comment’s
assertion
that
the
traffic
model
results
“appear
understated.”
The
impact
analysis
uses
quantitative
data
inputs
to
determine
the
intersection
delay
and
LOS.
As
stated
on
page
4.N-116,
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-3b
would
improve
intersection
operations
at
Old
County
Road/Bayshore
Boulevard
in
the
AM
peak
hour
to
acceptable
(LOS
C)
levels
under
each
of
the
four
development
scenarios.
In
the
PM
peak
hour,
the
mitigation
would
improve
the
operations
to
LOS
E,
which
still
exceeds
the
maximum
