Traffic Within the Stockton city limits there are several on-going or pend- ing developments or projects which can be expected to add traffic t local roadways. These include the Arch Road Industrial Park Units 3 an 4, expansions of the Northern California Youth Center and the Northern California Women's Facility, and other industrial developments within the vicinity of the Arch Road/Highway 99 interchange. A recent draft environmental impact analysis for the Arch Road Industrial Park Expansion addresses the cumulative traffic impacts of development within the area bounded by Charter Way on the north, Austin Road on the east, French Camp Road on the south, and the San Joaquin River on the west. The traffic analysis prepared for that document indi- cates that, without roadway improvements, severe traffic impacts would occur. The impacts identified include: • The analyzed study area intersections would have severe peak hour congestion; • The Arch Road area would suffer severe congestion; and • All of the study area intersections analyzed would meet minimum traffic volume standards indicating that traffic signals would be warranted. Cumulative traffic impacts are also addressed in Chapter 3 of this EIR. Air As previously described the project site is within the San Joaquin Valley Air Basin which has been designated as a non-attainment area due to exceedance of national ambient air quality standards for carbon monox- ide, total suspended particulate matter and ozone measured as oxidant. Although pollutants emitted from the proposed project and cumulative projects may be individually insignificant, collectively they would contribute to the region-wide air quality condition.
