For project impact analysis and identification of mitigation measures, the ' traffic study must consider all existing applicable legislation and all forms and modes of transportation (including bicycle and pedestrian) and improvements (including roundabouts). In addition to identifying mitigation / measures, the report should also determine the project's fair share responsibility at study locations. The project's fair share responsibility should be determined by dividing the number of project generated trips' at the location for following two scenarios: `existing plus approved projects plus project'and `cumulative plus project'. The project's fair share responsibility must be expressed in terms of both percentage ("/a) and dollar($) amount. Based on the discussion with the City personnel, the city of Stockton currently does not have programmed improvement plans for Lower Sacramento Road north of Ponce DeLeon Avenue (the portion of Lower Sacramento Road within the City limits of Stockton). However, consideration should be given to eventually widening this section of Lower Sacramento Road to match the 6-lane configuration which it is assumed will ultimately be in place within the County. A field survey shows that the roadway does have adequate right-of-way to accommodate one additional through lane in each direction. If widened to 6-lanes, this section of Lower Sacramento Road would continue to operate at LOS C for Cumulative plus Project Conditions during a typical weekday. Using the fair share calculation methodology as described above, the project's fair share contribution for the improvement of Lower Sacramento Road north of Ponce DeLeon Avenue (the portion of Lower Sacramento Road within the City limits of Stockton) to a divided 6-lane facility is 0.99% as shown below: Project's fair share responsibility The number of`project venerated trips' at a location The total number of trips at that location 360 36,350 — 0.99% Assuming that a new travel 12 ft. lane is constructed along each direction at a unit cost of$3 per sq. ft. for new pavement along the 4,600 ft. long section of roadway between the Stockton city limit and Ponce DeLeon Avenue, the preliminary planning level cost estimate for this = improvement would be approximately $330,000. If the project's fair share contribution were _- 0.99%,their total fair share contribution would be approximately$3,300. PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLES It is anticipated that some of the trips to and from the proposed project may be bicycle and pedestrian trips. At present, there are no known studies or procedures for determining pedestrian and bicycle trips to a development such as the proposed project. Such trips are typically highly dependent upon the location of the project relative to residential development Delta Church of the Nazarene July 3, 2001 Traffic Impact Analysis 40
