consider crosswalks, stop signs, speed bumps, etc. as opposed to just traffic<br />
signals. And decide if the 494 trips per day in EIR Volume II, Appendix D,<br />
Table D-1 is accurate.<br />
2) In EIR Volume II, Appendix P Traffic <strong>Impact</strong> <strong>Report</strong>, VII Recommended<br />
Improvements A.2. States: “TLH Drive (East)/<strong>Fountaingrove</strong> Parkway –<br />
Unacceptable Level <strong>of</strong> Service & Signal Warrant: Drivers using the<br />
unsignalized TLH Drive (East)/<strong>Fountaingrove</strong> Parkway intersection have the<br />
option <strong>of</strong> using Fir Ridge Drive to access a signalized intersection with<br />
<strong>Fountaingrove</strong> Parkway. Based upon input from <strong>City</strong> traffic engineering staff, it<br />
is not the <strong>City</strong>’s desire that the TLH Drive (East)/<strong>Fountaingrove</strong> Parkway<br />
intersection be considered for signalization due to the ease <strong>of</strong> access to the Fir<br />

Resolving an Unacceptable Signal Warrant by stating drivers have the<br />
option to drive through a long out-<strong>of</strong>-the-way loop in a residential area is<br />

safety <strong>of</strong> our citizens. In addition, Volume I Executive Summary Table ES-<br />
1 3.13-1 states a traffic signal would change the impact from “Significant”<br />
to Less than Significant”.<br />
3) In EIR Volume II, Appendix P Traffic <strong>Impact</strong> <strong>Report</strong>, VII Recommended<br />
Improvements A.2. States: “TLH Drive (West)/<strong>Fountaingrove</strong> Parkway –<br />
Unacceptable Level <strong>of</strong> Service & Signal Warrant: Although AM peak hour<br />
volumes at the TLH Drive (West)/<strong>Fountaingrove</strong> Parkway would be approaching<br />
signal warrant criteria, the number <strong>of</strong> vehicles experiencing LOS F delay for left<br />
turns from TLH Drive (West) will be small. In addition, the intersections along<br />
<strong>Fountaingrove</strong><br />
Parkway immediately east and west <strong>of</strong> TLH Drive (West), at Altruria Drive and<br />
