California Department of Fish and Game U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services Section 3.10. Traffic and Transportation Rancheria Casino and Hotel Project site is on Lakeville Highway, north of Highway 37 and adjacent to the western boundary of the Sears Point Project area, and therefore includes the same roadways that would be affected by the Sears Point Restoration Project. Road Segments and Freeway Ramps Existing traffic volumes were recorded on the following segments and freeway ramps (Kimley-Horn and Associates 2007). • Highway 37 between Atherton Avenue and Lakeville Highway • Lakeville Highway between Highway 116 and Highway 37 • Highway 37 between Lakeville Highway and Highway 121 • Highway 121 between Highway 37 and Highway 116 • Highway 29 eastbound/westbound on- and off-ramps • Wilson Avenue eastbound/westbound on- and off-ramp • Walnut Avenue eastbound/westbound on- and off-ramps • Atherton Avenue eastbound off-ramp • Atherton Avenue westbound on- and off-ramps The majority of the study segments were found to operate acceptably at LOS C or better. However, some segments were found to operate at an unacceptable LOS based on Sonoma County LOS criteria. These segments included: Lakeville Highway between Highway 37 and Highway 116 (Northbound lanes only; LOS E), Highway 121 between Highway 37 and Highway 116 (Northbound/Southbound lanes; LOS E), and Lakeville Highway between Highway 116 and Highway 37 (southbound lanes only; LOS E) Intersections The traffic analysis for the Casino and Hotel Project also evaluated the following intersections in the Project vicinity. • Atherton Avenue/Harbor Drive and Highway 37 eastbound off-ramp • Atherton Avenue/Glen Lane and Highway 37 westbound ramps • Lakeville Highway/Highway 37 • Lakeville Highway/Highway 116 • Highway 121/Highway 116 • Highway 121/Highway 37 • Walnut Avenue/Highway 37 Sears Point Wetland and Watershed Restoration Project Final Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement 3.10-5 April 2012 7
California Department of Fish and Game U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services Section 3.10. Traffic and Transportation • Mare Island/Highway 37 westbound ramps • Wilson Avenue/Highway 37 eastbound ramps • Wilson Avenue/Highway 37 westbound off-ramp • Highway 29/Highway 37 eastbound off-ramp • Highway 29/Highway 37 westbound off-ramp The results of the analysis found that several intersections and approaches operated at an unacceptable LOS based on Sonoma County LOS criteria. These intersections included: Lakeville Highway/Highway 116 (LOS D), Highway 116/Highway 121 (LOS F), and Highway 29/Highway 37 eastbound off-ramp (LOS E). Transit The Project area does not contain any thoroughfares intended for public use and the Project sites are therefore inaccessible to road transit. A portion of the NWP line, which is presently owned by the SMART District, traverses the Project site from west to east and the alignment hooks north near the Project’s eastern boundary. Although the rail line is currently inactive, the North Coast Railroad Authority (NCRA) is proposing to resume freight rail service on the alignment as part of an existing Operating Agreement with SMART. Freight service operation is anticipated to begin as early as the summer of 2008 (Kleinfelder 2007). 1 Bikeways No designated bikeways currently exist or are proposed to exist in the Project vicinity. Planned Improvements Lakeville Road is maintained by Sonoma County north of Highway 37. The County is considering widening Lakeville to four lanes in this area (Wetlands and Water Resources 2005b). 1 The rail line was reactivated in July 2011.
