EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TABLE S-1 (Continued) SUMMARY OF IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MITIGATION MEASURES AFTER MITIGATION Traffic Circulation and Safety(continued) Justification for the installation of traffic signals at an intersection is based on a series of 11 signal warrants established by the Federal Highway Administration and adopted by Caltrans;see Chapter 9 of Caltrans' Traffic Manual(Caltrans, 1996). Signal Warrant No. 11 (Peak Hour Volume Warrant) is typically used in EIRs to judge the appropriateness of signal installations. Estimated existing-plus-project traffic volumes at the Charter Way/ Stockton Street intersection were found to satisfy Warrant No. 11 under both a.m. and p.m.peak-hour conditions,with the latter(p.m.)volume satisfying that warrant under existing conditions. The City of Stockton has plans to signalize the Charter/Stockton intersection in the future, using funds collected from developments that would add traffic to the intersection,supplemented as needed by City funds from its Capital Improvement Program;no specific date for signal installation has been set(Tomura, 1999a). Implementation of this mitigation measure would fully mitigate the project impact;the level of service would improve to LOS B. Clb: The project applicant would require all Stockton Scavenger drivers and employees(and would encourage all other drivers)destined for Charter Way to use Fresno Avenue(and the signalized Charter/Fresno intersection), rather than Stockton Street(and the unsignalized Charter/Stockton intersection),to access Charter Way. C.2: Traffic generated by the proposed project would Mitigation Measures Proposed as Part of the Project Less than Significant contribute to cumulative traffic volumes on roadways serving the project site.
