See
regarding
the
Bayshore
crossing
of
US
101.
Although
Baby
Bullet
trains
do
not
stop
at
the
Bayshore
Station,
local
Caltrain
service
does
serve
the
Bayshore
Station.
In
regard
to
the
relevancy
of
Baby
Bullet
service
for
the
transit
impact
analysis,
see
As
stated
on
page
4.N-138
of
the
Draft
EIR,
reverse
commute
is
defined
as
“southbound
to
the
Project
Site
during
the
AM
peak
period
and
northbound
from
the
Project
Site
during
the
PM
peak
period.”
The
“regular
commute”
would
be
the
opposite
direction,
northbound
from
the
Baylands
Project
Site
during
the
AM
peak
period
and
southbound
to
the
Baylands
Project
Site
during
the
PM
peak
period.
The
analysis
of
projected
SamTrans
ridership
(Impact
4.N-7)
from
Baylands
development
does
not
state
that
SamTrans
buses
are
at
capacity.
In
addition
the
description
of
SamTrans
Route
292
on
page
4.N-15
states
there
are
“approximately
4,000
weekly
boardings
of
Route
#292,
which
is
the
fourth
highest
ridership
in
the
SamTrans
system,”
but
does
not
state
that
the
bus
line
is
at
capacity.
On
page
4.N-146,
the
Draft
EIR
discusses
that
TDM
plans
would
be
prepared
for
each
qualifying
development
project
as
it
undergoes
site-specific
development
review.
A
qualifying
development
project
is
defined
as
any
project
that
generates
100
or
more
net
new
trips
during
the
AM
or
PM
peak
hour.
The
term
“qualifying
phase”
was
not
used
in
Section
4.N,
Traffic
and
Circulation
,
of
the
Draft
EIR.
Sidings
for
the
proposed
lumberyard
relocation
site
would
be
designed
as
part
of
future
site-specific
development
plans.
Analyses
in
the
Draft
EIR
assume
that
existing
rail
to
the
lumberyards
will
be
provided
at
the
relocated
lumberyard
sites.
