Boulevard/Airport

Ramps
and
Airport
Boulevard/Sister
Cities
Boulevard/Oyster
Point
Boulevard
intersections
were
not
included
for
study
since
the
majority
of
the
land
use
is
concentrated
at
the
northern
section
of
the
Baylands
site
and
would
be
most
logically
accessed
via
the
Beatty
Avenue/Alana
Way/Harney
Way
interchanges.
The
Bayshore
Boulevard/Third
Street
interchange
at
the
US
101
crossing
was
included
for
analysis
in
the
Candlestick
Point/Hunters
Point
EIR.
According
to
that
document,
the
intersection
of
Bayshore
Boulevard/US
101
Southbound
off
ramp/Hester
Avenue
operates
as
follows
under
Existing
and
Cumulative
conditions:

Given
the
geometry
of
the
intersection,
southbound
trips
come
off
US
101
and
make
a
right
turn
onto
Third
Street.
Trips
added
to
this
movement
would
not
add
to
the
overall
intersection
delay
as
this
right
turn
has
two
lanes
and
appears
to
be
a
free
right
for
most
of
the
signal
cycle.
Therefore,
northbound
trips
are
examined.
Under
existing
conditions,
Project
Site
development
is
expected
to
generate
upward
of
400
northbound
trips
through
the
intersection
during
the
AM
peak
period
and
upward
of
500
northbound
trips
during
the
PM
peak
period.
Given
that
the
intersection
operates
well
under
existing
conditions,
it
is
unlikely
that
Baylands
development-related
trips
would
degrade
the
intersection
to
unacceptable
levels.
The
cumulative
conditions
in
this
case
include
both
the
Candlestick
Point/Hunters
Point
project
as
well
as
Brisbane
Baylands
Project
Site
development.
Under
cumulative
conditions,
the
Geneva
Avenue
extension
and
improvements
to
the
Candlestick
interchange
would
be
in
place,
providing
convenient
access
to
northbound
US
101
and
reducing
northbound
traffic
impacts
related
to
proposed
Baylands
development.
The
Brisbane-Crocker
Park
BART
Shuttle
stops
at
the
Bayshore
Caltrain
station
only
during
afternoon
and
evening
commute
times.
At
the
time
of
the
2010
NOP
(EIR
baseline),
a
separate
shuttle
that
specifically
served
the
Bayshore
Station
via
the
Baylands
site
was
proposed,
but
was
not
yet
funded,
which
is
the
Brisbane-Bayshore
commuter
shuttle
referenced
in
Comment
The
proposed
Brisbane-Bayshore
commuter
shuttle
provides
three
outbound
(AM)
and
three
inbound
(PM)
trips.
Routing
within
the
City
of
Brisbane
is
identical
to
the
Brisbane-Crocker
Park
BART
shuttle.
