Saticoy & Wells Community Plan and Code EIRSection 4.15 Traffic and Circulationroadway connections to adjacent neighborhoods. Implementation of the Project is expected toimprove the availability of sidewalks, bike paths, and transit over time. By making thesetransportation alternatives more attractive, Project implementation is expected to foster agradual transition toward greater use of alternatives to the single-occupant automobile. Thecommercial centers where development is to be emphasized are generally located along or inclose proximity to existing Gold Coast Transit bus routes (see Figure 4.12-2). Implementation ofthe Project would likely result in beneficial impacts to the Project Area.Mitigation Measures. Mitigation is not required.Significance after Mitigation. Impacts would be beneficial.Impact T-3Implementation of the Project would place new residentialdevelopment along heavily traveled thoroughfares which mayincrementally increase hazards. However, the implementationof proposed policies relating to traffic calming and improvingwalkability would reduce such impacts to Class III, less thansignificant.The Project would accommodate new mixed use and residential development along relativelyhighly traveled corridors. Among the corridors anticipated to accommodate substantial newdevelopment within the Project Area are Wells Road and Telegraph Road.The placement of residences along main travel corridors is expected to generally increasepedestrian activity in these areas, with the potential for increased hazards for pedestrians.However, the Community Plan includes a range of policies and actions specifically intended toenhance the walkability of neighborhoods and corridors throughout the Project Area. Thefollowing policies and actions aim to achieve the overall goal of increasing connectivity withinthe Project Area:Policy 11KAction 11.4.2Action 11.4.3Action 11.4.4Improve thoroughfare design and ensure that the circulation systemis interconnected and usable by all modes of transportation.Develop street standards that emphasize the safe and sufficientmovement of vehicles, pedestrian safety, streetscapes, andcompatibility with adjoining urban features and incorporatenaturalistic ‘green street’ design elements into the streetscape tominimize impacts to the natural environment.Create standards for properties fronting Wells Road to facilitate theefficient movement of vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians betweencommunity gathering places, transportation nodes, and public areas,and to protect the public/private realm.Work with Caltrans to reconfigure Wells Road (south of CitrusDrive) to accommodate new buildings and uses and to create it as apedestrian-friendly, mixed-use thoroughfare.4.15-15City of Ventura

Therefore, significant traffic safetyimpacts are not anticipated.4.15-16City of Ventura
