Individual

The
combined
demand
from
local
and
regional
developments
is
taken
into
consideration
for
cumulative
conditions
through
projected
growth
included
in
the
SF-CHAMP
model
and
the
projects
included
in
the
cumulative
analysis
cited
This
comment
requests
establishment
of
some
pedestrian-only
streets
and
squares.
As
such,
the
comment
does
not
raise
any
substantive
environmental
issues
regarding
the
adequacy
of
the
Draft
EIR
or
its
analyses
and
conclusions.
The
City
will
consider
the
planning
recommendation
set
forth
in
this
comment
as
part
of
its
planning
review
and
decisionmaking.
The
comment
claims
that
it
is
speculative
to
assume
sidewalks
will
be
able
to
“safely
permit
pedestrian
access
to
all
uses
within
project
site”
considering
the
number
of
lanes
on
the
Geneva
Avenue
Extension,
the
width
of
the
roadway,
and
anticipated
congestion.
The
proposed
Brisbane
Baylands
Specific
Plan
prepared
by
the
applicant
for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
sets
forth
Policy
6-8:
“Provide
pedestrian
routes
–
sidewalks,
trails,
or
single-
or
multi-use
paths
–
and
provide
for
pedestrian
improvements
on
all
roadway
corridors
within
the
Planning
Area
.
”
Because
the
CPP
and
CPP-V
scenarios
are
intended
to
provide
an
equal
or
better
level
of
pedestrian
and
bicycle
mobility
as
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios,
a
similar
policy
would
be
required
of
the
CPP
and
CPP-V
scenarios,
should
either
be
selected
by
the
City.
None
of
the
proposed
development
scenarios
would
interfere
with
(i.e.,
prevent)
planned
pedestrian
facilities
in
existing
and/or
planned
areas,
main
streets,
or
pedestrian
districts,
nor
would
any
of
the
four
scenarios
conflict
with
or
create
inconsistencies
with
adopted
pedestrian
system
plans,
guidelines,
policies,
or
standards.
Geneva
Avenue
would
be
one
of
many
streets
within
the
Baylands
site
facilitating
pedestrian
access
