screenlines
as
described
in
the
CPHPS
EIR).
For
the
DSP
scenario,
the
threshold
was
exceeded
for
two
of
the
four
screenlines.
The
impact
of
enhanced
transit
conditions
would
be
less
than
significant.
Impact
on
T-Line
and
San
Bruno
Avenue
Transit
Corridors
The
effect
of
enhancing
transit
on
these
corridors
would
be
unchanged
from
the
DSP
scenario.
The
proposed
Project
Site
development
under
enhanced
transit
conditions
would
not
result
in
unacceptable
levels
of
transit
service
or
increased
operating
costs
to
the
Muni
T-line
or
San
Bruno
Avenue
bus
lines
due
to
the
anticipated
pattern
of
Project
Site
development
travel;
therefore,
the
impact
of
the
development
scenario
would
be
less
than
significant.
The
introduction
of
the
BBX
route
would
relieve
demand
on
the
T
Third
route
and
Caltrain
service,
since
providing
an
express
service
between
the
Baylands
and
Downtown
San
Francisco
would
attract
many
of
the
commuters
that
would
otherwise
use
the
T
Third
and
Caltrain
services.
Impact
on
Geneva
Avenue
Transit
Corridor
Project
Site
development
under
enhanced
transit
conditions
would
have
a
less-
than-significant
impact
on
available
transit
capacity
along
the
Geneva
Avenue
corridor,
instead
of
the
significant
unavoidable
impact
found
in
the
Draft
EIR
for
the
DSP
scenario.
This
is
due
to
an
increase
in
capacity
that
is
greater
than
the
increased
ridership
on
this
corridor
(when
compared
to
DSP),
as
shown
below:
Approximately
7,800
daily
riders
under
enhanced
transit
conditions,
including
approximately
900
PM
peak
hour
riders
(total
for
both
directions)
Current
service
on
that
corridor
consists
of:
Muni
Route
8X
and
8BX
service
between
the
Sunnydale
Station
and
the
Balboa
Park
Station
(8
buses
in
peak
hours
in
each
direction)
Alliance
Shuttle
Service
(six
buses
per
day
between
the
Sunnydale
Station
and
the
Balboa
Park
Station)
Implementation
of
the
proposed
Geneva
BRT,
as
described
in
the
San
Francisco
TEP,
and
CPHPS
EIR
(San
Francisco
Planning
Department,
2009),
would
provide
a
significant
increase
in
transit
service
and
capacity
on
the
Geneva
Avenue
corridor,
with
12
peak
hour
buses
in
each
direction
(5
min
service
frequency)
operating
between
the
Balboa
Park
BART
Station
and
Hunters
Point
Shipyard.
Portions
of
the
Geneva
BRT
would
operate
within
an
exclusive
right-of-way,
including
segments
within
the
Baylands
Project
Site.
Funding
for
the
Geneva
BRT
has
not
yet
been
obtained,
with
a
portion
of
funding
to
be
contingent
on
the
timeline
for
redevelopment
of
Candlestick
Point
and
Hunters
Point.
