road was also observed. The dirt and gravel shoulders are insufficient for pedestrian activity and during wet periods, pedestrians are forced to share the roadway with vehicles. One of the biggest problems with the current access is the mixing of commercial traffic with residential traffic, especially since much of the residential property appears to be intraneighborhood traffic. This type of traffic tends to have short trip lengths with numerous stops and lower speeds. This type of traffic does not mix well with commercial traffic. 3. Expandability: As the Port expands and the Project Area develops, the capacity of the roads serving the Port will be reached. On preliminary analysis, the Development Plan found that proximity of residences, businesses, and fences suggests that the rights-of-way are fairly narrow, limiting the ability to readily widen the roadways without purchasing land. The Development Plan also states that current access roads may be adequate for moderate expansion of the existing Port facilities, especially with improvements to Fresno Avenue, Washington Street, and Harbor Road. However, development of the Project Area will quickly use up the capacity provided by those improvements. Therefore, additional access alternatives must be considered. According to the Draft EIR, 3 of 20 intersections surveyed were considered to operate at an unacceptable level of service ("LOS") and required improvements to decongest existing traffic problems. The three intersections are summarized as follow: The Charter Way at Navy Drive signalized intersection rated "F" on LOS (lowest rating) reflecting the following conditions: the traffic volume exceeds intersection capacity, excessive backups and long delays, congested conditions extend beyond the peak hour, and queues of traffic may extend to other intersections. Charter Way and Fresno Avenue also rated "F" and was characterized as follows: unacceptable to most drivers; over saturation, when arrival flow rates exceed the capacity of the intersection; poor progression; and delays. The Charter Way & 1-5 SB Ramps categorized as "E" rating and is described as having high delay values generally indicating poor progression, long cycle lengths, and high volume to capacity ratios. Internal Roads The Development Plan indicates the internal roads within the Project Area lack a drainage system, which has caused pavement and subgrade failure. Currently, Fyffe Avenue serves as the east-west arterial providing access to ROSENOW SPEVACEK GROUP, INC.
