A36: The number of project trips utilizing I-5 and Route 99 were not illustrated due to the very low <br /> volumes of project trips distributed west of the Peltier/Ray intersection and to the east of the <br /> Peltier/Lower Sacramento intersection. The project trips were distributed regionally from the <br /> project site, as discussed on page 4.2-10 of the DEIR, with five percent north,35 percent south, <br /> 25 percent east and 35 percent west. From these regional distributions, the project trips were <br /> further distributed into individual turning movements at the studied intersections in the same ratio <br /> as the existing volumes. The resulting number of project trips west of Peltier/Ray (possibly <br /> utilizing I-5) during the AM peak hour is three westbound trips and one eastbound trip, and <br /> during the PM peak hour is two westbound trips and four eastbound trips. the number of project <br /> trips east of Peltier/Lower sacramento (possibly utilizing Route 99)during the AM peak hour is <br /> two eastbound trips and one westbound trip, and during the PM peak hour is one eastbound trip <br /> and three westbound trips. Not all of these trips may necessarily utilize the freeways since some <br /> trips may utilize additional cross streets located between the studies intersections and the <br /> freeways. <br /> The text in the DEIR as presented could be misconstrued to mean that the regional trip <br /> distributions to the west and east are all to the freeways, which is not what is intended. <br /> Therefore, page 4.2-10,paragraph 2 of the DEIR, first sentence, should be revised as follows: <br /> On the basis of these factors,regional vehicle trip distribution from the project has been allocated <br /> as follows: five percent to the north of the project site, 35 percent to the south, 25 percent to <br /> the east and 35 percent to the west. <br /> A37: Comment is noted. The text on page 4.2-17,paragraph 2, sentences 6 and 7, of the DEIR should <br /> be revised as follows: The added truck trips could affect the intersection operation conditions <br /> significantly enough to require a traffic signal to mitigate the problem if the trucks operate during <br /> the peak hours. To avoid this, the truck trips could be prohibited during the peak hours, thereby <br /> limiting truck traffic through the intersection to the lower volume periods of the day. <br /> III-162 <br />
