We offer the following comments: • Page 4.2-7,Paragraph 5 -Caltrans does not use peak hour warrants for consideration of traffic signals. We use 8-hour warrants which provide a better indication of a need for signals during the whole day. A35 The Davis Road/Route 12 intersection is a prime example of where a signal would not be justified. Even though the peak hour may show a need for a signal, the rest of the day the traffic on both roads is light enough that traffic,especially on Davis, would be subjected to unnecessary delay waiting for a green light. • Page 4.2-10- Please show regional trip distribution, the percentages given are not clear. We would like to see project trip impacts on I-5 and Route 99;the turning movements could be shown on figures 4.2-1 A36 through 4.2-4. • Page 4.2-17, Paragraph 2 -The answer to mitigating conditions at the Davis Road/Route 12 A3? intersection, if it is used by haul trucks,is to not haul during peak hour,and not put in a traffic signal. We appreciate the opportunity to review and comment on this DEIR. Any questions on these comments may be directed to Chris Sayre of our Planning Department at (209) 948-7142.
