The project incorporates the eastern portion of Neighborhood D, whereas Specific Plan I area incorporates the western portion of Neighborhood D. A K-8 school located in the Specific Plan I area would temporarily provide public school services to the entire Neighborhood D area.Until the two K-8 schools are constructed in the project site and one K-8 school in Specific Plan I area(serves Neighborhood D),the K-8 students would be bussed to elementary schools in Specific Plan I project area.

" Source:Bell,pers.comm.Tracy Unified School District 2004. Source:Data complied by EDAW in 2004;based on September 24,2004 land use plan. According to LESD,the K-8 schools located in the Specific Plan I area have a combined capacity for 1,700 _ students would be adequate to serve students from the project area until the schools in the project area are developed(Unsod 2004). One of the planned elementary schools,Wicklund,opened in August 2004. Elementary students in the project area would attend Wicklund elementary school temporarily until one of the two elementary schools opened in the project area. LESD would determine the dates of construction of the new schools that would permanently serve students in the project area. Based on the above, and because the proposed project would be required to pay the state-mandated school impact fees,the proposed project would result in a less-than-significant impact on K-8 school capacity. The proposed location of the school facilities would result in environmental impacts to public safety. One objective of Policy 3.4 of the MIEvIP is to avoid the need for school students to cross arterials to get to school. The policy states that"As much as possible,neighborhood boundaries shall also delineate the attendance boundaries of each K-8 school,thereby minimizing the need to cross arterial streets to gain access to the school serving that neighborhood." The project would require K-8 students living in the western portion of the project _ area to cross Central Parkway(an arterial street)to get to school. The need for school students to cross Central Parkway was evaluated in the 2002 Delta College Final EIR and mitigation was provided(Mitigation 4.3-1)to reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level.This mitigation required that the project address the safe access of students from the western portion of the project area to the future school sites located east of Central Parkway. Recommendations for safe access included constructing a pedestrian bridge over Central Parkway;providing crossing guards at Central Parkway; or bussing students across Central Parkway.As a result of this mitigation, the SJDCCD signed an agreement with the LESD acknowledging SJDCCD has agreed to contribute to the transportation program developed by LESD. A copy of this agreement is provided in Appendix H. Therefore,a less-than-significant impact related to public safety would occur. Mitigation Measure 4.4-2: Public Services—Additional Demand for Public K-8 Schools. No mitigation is required.
