Individual
Responses
to
Comments
from
Organizations
improvements
set
forth
in
Mitigation
Measures
4.N-3g
and
4.N-3h,
since
both
of
these
measures
require
the
Baylands
development
applicant
to
provide
the
improvements.
Because
both
intersections
are
outside
of
the
Brisbane’s
jurisdiction,
concurrence
of
San
Francisco
and
Daly
City
to
permit
the
Baylands
development
applicant
to
implement
the
measures
cannot
be
guaranteed.
Thus,
impacts
would
be
significant
and
unavoidable.
See

The
statement
on
Draft
EIR
page
4.N-124,
“None
of
the
development
scenarios
would
cause
any
freeway
mainline
segments
to
deteriorate
from
acceptable
LOS
D
or
better
to
LOS
E
or
LOS
F
conditions”
addresses
one
of
the
criteria
that
triggers
a
significant
impact,
and
indicates
that
this
particular
criterion
is
not
met.
The
next
sentence,
“Project
Site
development
would
also
contribute
cumulatively
considerable
amounts
of
traffic
to
three
freeway
mainline
segments
expected
to
operate
at
LOS
E
or
LOS
F…”
addresses
additional
criteria
that
indicate
a
significant
impact
on
freeway
mainline
segments
will
result
from
each
Baylands
development
scenario.
The
comment
restates
the
Draft
EIR’s
findings
in
Table
4.N-33
and
on
page
4.N-124
the
Draft
EIR
states
that
Project
Site
development
would
contribute
“cumulatively
considerable
amounts
of
traffic”
at
three
freeway
segments.
As
such
the
comment
does
not
raise
any
significant
issues
regarding
the
adequacy
of
the
Draft
EIR
or
its
analyses
and
conclusions.
The
comment
refers
to
the
proposed
Geneva
Avenue
extension
that
is
a
regional
improvement
whose
funding
is
expected
to
come
from
a
combination
of
sources,
including
development
within
San
Francisco,
Daly
City,
and
Brisbane.
Because
the
proposed
extension
is
currently
unfunded,
its
implementation
is
uncertain.
As
a
result,
the
Draft
EIR
concludes
that
while
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-4
is
feasible,
its
implementation
cannot
be
guaranteed,
and
that
Baylands
development
impacts
are
therefore
significant
and
unavoidable.
See
for
discussion
regarding
the
approval
and
enforcement
of
TDM
programs.
The
conclusion
of
the
mainline
segment
analysis
is
that
Project
Site
development
would
contribute
cumulatively
considerable
amounts
of
traffic
to
three
highway
segments
on
US
101.
The
Draft
EIR
evaluates
the
environmental
impacts
of
each
of
the
four
development
scenarios,
but
makes
no
