Avenue
facility
in
the
CPP-V
scenario
is
based
on
information
provided
by
Recology
and
peer
reviewed
by
the
City
for
use
in
this
EIR.
The
Draft
EIR
evaluates
the
four
development
scenarios
as
they
have
been
proposed
and
the
concentration
of
land
use
in
the
northern
portion
of
the
site
would
result
in
project
trip-ends
concentrated
in
this
area.
However,
Project
Site
development
does
have
three
entrances
at
the
southern
area
of
the
site
under
the
development
proposals
which
would
also
provide
ingress/egress
for
project
trips:
Tunnel
Avenue
at
Bayshore
Boulevard,
Sierra
Point
Parkway,
and
southbound
US
101
access
at
Lagoon
Road.
The
limiting
factor
for
usage
of
these
entrances
would
likely
be
due
to
the
strong
attraction
of
San
Francisco
to
the
north
as
a
destination,
as
well
as
limited
access
to
and
from
northbound
US
101
(it
is
a
further
distance
from
northbound
US
101
via
Sierra
Point
Parkway
or
Airport
Boulevard,
and
not
accessible
via
Lagoon
Road.
Given
the
location
of
the
Caltrain
tracks
in
the
southerly
portion
of
the
Baylands
and
the
need
for
a
grade-separated
crossing,
as
well
as
the
current
location
of
the
Tunnel
Avenue
intersection,
Icehouse
Hill,
Kinder
Morgan
facility,
and
the
existing
NCFD
fire
station,
provision
of
an
additional
southerly
entrance
to
the
Baylands
would
not
be
feasible.
The
proposed
Geneva
Avenue
extension
is
included
in
the
San
Francisco
and
San
Mateo
Bi-County
Transportation
Study
along
with
a
proposed
interchange
with
US
101
that
would
replace
the
current
interchange
at
Beatty
Avenue.
These
improvements
are
included
as
part
of
the
future
area
transportation
system
to
which
new
development
within
the
Baylands
would
contribute
fair
share
funding.
However,
the
proposed
Geneva
Avenue
extension
and
new
interchange
are
not
part
of
the
Baylands
project
description
analyzed
in
this
EIR.
As
stated
on
page
4.N-31
of
the
Draft
EIR,
the
San
Francisco/San
Mateo
Bi-County
Transportation
Study
identifies
the
US
101
Candlestick
interchange
re-configuration
as
a
future
transportation
improvement
project.
The
Geneva
Avenue/Harney
Way
crossing
of
US
101
(which
was
assumed
in
the
Cumulative
baseline
for
the
analysis)
is
described
on
page
4.N-46
of
the
Draft
EIR.
Design
of
the
interchange
and
crossing
of
US
101
is
not
a
component
of
the
Baylands
project.
Figure

CPP-V
Conceptual
Road
Network
Improvements,
has
been
updated
to
show
Tunnel
Avenue
continuing
north
of
the
Geneva
Avenue
Extension
along
the
west
side
of
the
Recology
Site.
The
Tunnel
Avenue
connection
to
Bayshore
Boulevard
is
included
in
the
trip
assignment
step
of
the
transportation
impact
analysis,
and
no
change
to
the
impact
analysis
is
needed
as
a
result
of
this
change
