Table
4.N-12
presents
the
trip
generation
for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios.
Trip
generation
for
a
sold-out
arena
scenario
is
different
than
traditional
peak-hour
trip
generation,
so
it
is
calculated
separately
in
Table
4.N-18.
The
analysis
of
arena
traffic
includes
both
traffic
generated
by
the
arena
and
background
evening
traffic.

Trip
generation
for
the
sold-out
arena
scenario
is
different
than
traditional
peak-hour
trip
generation,
so
it
is
calculated
separately
in
Table
4.N-18.
The
impacts
of
the
sold-out
arena
scenario
are
presented
in
Table
4.N-27
under
existing
conditions
and
in
Table
4.N-34
under
cumulative
conditions.
Intersections
exceeding
City
LOS
standards
are
identified
in
bold
type
in
the
tables
provided
in
Section
4.N,
Traffic
and
Transportation
.
Given
the
limited
amount
of
space
available
for
this
Table
4.N-12
and
others,
the
minimum
standard
of
LOS
set
forth
by
the
Brisbane
General
Plan
is
described
in
text
on
page
4.N-5.
The
bulk
of
the
volume
contributed
by
a
sold
out
arena
event
is
to
the
eastbound
through
movement,
which
has
excess
capacity.
By
adding
vehicles
to
an
approach
at
the
intersection
that
experiences
less
delay,
the
average
delay
for
that
intersection
actually
decreases.
The
information
contained
in
the
Draft
EIR
is
correct.
Mitigation
Measure
4.N-3b
is
for
Intersection
4,
labeled
as
the
intersection
of
Old
County
Road
and
Bayshore
Boulevard,
has
Tunnel
Avenue
on
the
westbound
approach.
The
measure
refers
to
“Eastbound
Tunnel
Avenue”
as
the
eastbound
receiving
lanes
of
traffic.
The
number
of
trains
that
currently
stop
at
the
Bayshore
Caltrain
Station
is
noted
in
the
existing
conditions
section
on
page
4.N-12
to
page
4.N-14.
Baby
Bullet
service
does
not
stop
at
the
Bayshore
station,
although
the
ridership
on
the
Baby
Bullet
service
is
necessary
for
the
analysis
of
screenline
impact.
Under
screenline
impact
analysis,
ridership
for
all
service
that
passes
through
the
screenline
(in
this
case,
the
Bayshore
Caltrain
Station)
is
examined,
and
the
project
impact
is
based
upon
the
contribution
of
project
trips
to
those
ridership
figures.
In
response
to
the
comment,
the
last
paragraph
on
page
4.N-136
of
the
Draft
EIR
is
revised
to
read:
During
most
hours
of
operation,
two
trains
per
hour
operate
in
both
directions,
with
one
Local
train
making
all
stops
including
the
Bayshore
Station
and
one
Limited
train
that
does
not
stop
at
the
Bayshore
Station.
During
peak
commute
periods,
additional
Baby
Bullet
trains
provide
two
