Pock Lane Residential Traffic Impact Study 7.0 ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS The following sections provide additional analyses of other transportation issues associated with the project site, including: • Site access and impacts • Parking analysis • Recommendations The analyses in these sections are based on professional judgment in accordance with the standards and methods employed by traffic engineers.Although operational issues are not considered CEQA impacts, they do describe traffic conditions that are relevant to describing the project environment. 7.1 SITE ACCESS, CIRCULATION, AND MULTIMODAL IMPACTS This section analyzes site access and internal circulation based on the site plans presented in Figures 2a and 2b (dated February, 2022 and October, 2021, respectively) and related plans from the October 2021 submittal packages. Vehicle Access and Circulation Access to the northeastern site at 2706 Pock Lane would be via an extension of Loomis Road. Currently there is a short section of Loomis Road between Pock Lane and D Street, and a separate segment between the eastern edge of the project site and SR-99 Frontage Road. As shown in Figure 2b, the extension of Loomis Road would include emergency access only between the project site and the eastern segment,with all project traffic using Pock Avenue. Access to the portion of 3009 Pock Lane between Loomis Road and Duck Creek would be via Loomis Road, D Street, and the proposed Street A connection to Pock Lane.As noted previously, f the impact analysis it was assumed that all vehicles would use Pock Lane via Street A.The portion of 3009 Pock Lane south of Duck Creek is physically separated from the portion to the north of Duck Creek. These homes would be accessed from Pock Lane via Street F and Street I.As noted previously, these were consolidated into a single access point for analysis purposes. Based on the submittal package for both 2706 and 3009 Pock Lane, connections to existing roadways and proposed internal roadways appear to conform with San Joaquin standard plans for residential streets. Access to the project sites and individual homes is considered adequate and would not result in any significant impacts to the nearby roadways. Pedestrian Access, Circulation, and Impacts Pedestrian access would be via internal sidewalks along internal streets and new sidewalks to be constructed along project frontages on Pock Lane and Loomis Road. As shown in Figure 3, however, there are substantial gaps in pedestrian facilities along Pock Lane in the project vicinity. In order to reduce the hazard of pedestrians crossing Pock Lane near the project sites, TJKM recommends that the project install a high visibility crosswalk across Pock Lane at Loomis Road, preferably with flashing crossing signs to alert drivers to pedestrians waiting to cross.TJKM also recommends that the County consider closing the small 4JICM .
