Austin Road Landfsll E V <br /> ion Project EIR Comments and Respons <br /> lones to C <br /> Relalifo is Public Utilities Commission it 5A&U_gId Carriers Division. mbar <br /> 16. 1 better <br /> Response to Comment 1: The proposed project is estimated to add 17 new inbound and 17 new <br /> outbound peak hour trips on the existing roadway system. At the Austin Road/Mariposa Road <br /> intersection,the project is expected to add 33 new trips in the northbound left-turn lane and 33 trips in the <br /> southbound right turn lane. None of these trips would cross the Mariposa at-grade rail crossing in order <br /> to serve the project. Hence,the project would not result in any impacts to the Mariposa Road at-grade <br /> railroad crossing. <br /> Since the intersection of Austin Road/Mariposa Road is projected to operate at a level of service F in the <br /> AM peak hour under the background condition,any addition of the project traffic to that intersection <br /> affects the level of service at the intersection,and,therefore, a fair-share contribution to mitigation at that <br /> intersection has been identified in the EIR. <br /> Response to Comment 2: Burlington Northern Santa Fe will be constructing a grade separation at the <br /> Austin Road/Mariposa Road intersection and relocating that intersection to the west of its existing <br /> location. This grade separation would eliminate any project impacts with respect to rail traffic. <br /> Response to Comment 3: Comment noted. The proposed project does not include any new railroad <br /> crossings. <br /> 40 <br />
