Landfill 2018 Expansion Project <br /> Newcastle Road.The posted speed limit along the road segment is 45 mph in the vicinity of the <br /> Project. <br /> Mariposa Road <br /> Mariposa Road is an east-west two-lane arterial road connecting SR 99 and Austin Road. The <br /> segment near SR 99 is four-lane.The road mostly serves agricultural, industrial, and <br /> warehousing developments in the area. The posted speed limit along the roadway is 45 miles <br /> per hour (mph)near SR 99 and 55 mph near Austin Road and to the east. <br /> East French Camp Road <br /> East French Camp Road is an east-west two-lane arterial connecting Austin Road and SR 99 in <br /> the study area. The land use along the segment between Austin Road and SR 99 is mostly <br /> agriculture. The posted speed limit along the road near SR 99 is 55 mph. <br /> State Route 99 <br /> State Route 99(SR 99)is a major regional north-south freeway connecting cities in California's <br /> Central Valley.In the project vicinity, SR 99 is a four-lane divided freeway (two lanes each <br /> direction). Access between Route 99 and the project site is provided via an interchange at Arch <br /> Road and interchanges at East French Camp Road and Mariposa Road. <br /> Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities <br /> Austin Road south of East French Camp road is currently a designated bicycle route, but no <br /> roads within the Forward study area are so designated. Figure 4-2 of the San Joaquin County <br /> Bikeway Master Plan Update (San Joaquin County, November 2010) does not show any <br /> reported accidents involving bicycles on the study area roadways in the period studied (2002- <br /> 2007). <br /> Figure 4-3 of the Plan identifies Austin Road and Arch Road within the study area as ' <br /> "Community Identified Routes", meaning the roads either currently are used by bicyclists or <br /> are potential routes that would be used if bicycles were accommodated. However, neither was <br /> included in Table 6-3 or Figure 6-8 of the Plan as Recommended Projects. <br /> Figure 6-11 of the Plan shows French Camp Road as a proposed Class 3 Bike Route although it <br /> is not included in the Tier 1 list for high priority implementation. Also, PHA staff did not <br /> observe any bicyclists in the area during their field visits. <br /> There are no pedestrian facilities or sidewalks within the study area except a section of Arch <br /> Road on the north side between Fite Court and Logistic Drive. <br /> 1 <br />
