Existing Intersection Levels <strong>of</strong> Service<br />

4. 9. Transportation/Circulation<br />

Table 11 on page 74, summarizes the existing weekday A.M. and P.M. peak hour VIC<br />

ratio or average delay and corresponding level <strong>of</strong> service at each <strong>of</strong> the eleven analyzed<br />

intersections. Under existing conditions, each <strong>of</strong> the eleven intersections operate at acceptable<br />

levels <strong>of</strong> service (i.e., LOS D or better) during both the A.M. and P.M. peak hours.<br />

Redevelopment Plan hnpacts at Year 2027<br />

Table 12 on page 75 summarizes Year 2027 levels <strong>of</strong> service as projected in the<br />

Redevelopment Plan FEIR for the ten intersections common to the two studies, both with and<br />

without implementation <strong>of</strong> the traffic mitigation program proposed in the Redevelopment Plan<br />

FEIR. Intersection configurations with the long-term mitigation measures proposed in the<br />

Redevelopment Plan FEIR are illustrated in Appendix C. With implementation <strong>of</strong> the<br />

Redevelopment Plan mitigation program, six <strong>of</strong> the ten intersections are projected to operate at<br />

acceptable levels <strong>of</strong> service (LOS D or better) at Year 2027. No mitigation measures were<br />

identified in the Redevelopment Plan FEIR for the Flower Street/Western Avenue and Flower<br />

Street/Sonora Avenue intersections.<br />

Redevelopment Plan Impacts at Year 2010<br />

Year 2010 Cumulative Base Traffic Forecasts<br />

The Redevelopment Plan FEIR forecast traffic growth to the Year 2027, including an<br />

ambient background growth rate <strong>of</strong> 1% per year (from 1992 to 2027), related projects, and<br />

development <strong>of</strong> all uses anticipated in the San Fernando Corridor Redevelopment Plan. Year<br />

2010 cumulative base (Le., without project) volumes for this addendum were projected by: (1)<br />

interpolating the traffic growth projected in the Redevelopment Plan FEIR on a straight-line<br />

basis to the Year 2010 (including the background growth rate, traffic generated by related<br />

projects, and traffic generated by the Redevelopment Plan uses); and (2) subtracting traffic<br />

which would be generated by Restricted Industrial development identified in the Redevelopment<br />

Plan FEIR for the project site. The second step was performed to provide a Year 2010 base<br />

for analysis assuming no development on the project site.<br />
