Section 3.10. Traffic and Transportation
levels at roadway segments, freeway ramps, and intersections are not expected to
noticeably change. No mitigation is required.
Conclusion: Less than Significant.
Full-Tidal Alternative
Potential changes in LOS at important intersections and roadway segments
during operation of the restoration site under the Full-Tidal Alternative would be
the same assimilar to those described above for the Project. Therefore, impacts
on traffic circulation attributable to operation of the Full-Tidal Alternative are
considered less than significant, and no mitigation is required.
Conclusion: Less than Significant.
Impact T-3: Increase Hazards Due to Design Feature
Proposed Project
The Project would neither alter the physical configuration of the existing
roadway network serving the area, nor introduce unsafe design features or
incompatible uses into the area; therefore, there would be no long-term impact on
safety as a result of the Project. During Project construction, slow-moving
construction vehicles could result in traffic safety hazards. However, as described
in T-MM-1 above, SLT shall develop a traffic control plan to minimize the
effects of construction traffic on adjacent land uses. With this plan in place,
impacts would be considered less than significant.
Conclusion: Less than Significant with Mitigation.
Full-Tidal Alternative
Potential traffic safety hazards posed by slow-moving construction vehicles
would be the same assimilar to those described above for the Project. This is a
potentially significant impact that can be reduced to a less-than-significant level
through the implementation of Mitigation Measure T-MM-1.
Conclusion: Less than Significant with Mitigation.
