Cemex Vernalis Quarry Mining and Rwiarl Project <br /> Since the intersection is located on relatively flat terrain,vertical sight distance constraints <br /> do no appear to exist Mitigation is provided below to minimize these sight distance <br /> constraints. <br /> Acceleration/Deceleration Lane Needs. During peak times,the intersection will experience — <br /> congestion such that adequate gaps for trucks entering the State Route 33 vehicle stream <br /> will become infrequent These infrequent gaps will result in poorer level of service and <br /> potentially will exacerbate vehicle queuing across the railroad tracks. Additionally, during <br /> fog events,turning onto and off of State Route 33 will become more difficult and create <br /> more of a safety concern due to the decrease in sight distance during these times. <br /> Mitigation is provided below to minimize these constraints. <br /> Interstate 61.91FItIlIFState 580 'AteFGhaAgO <br /> Ffeeway weaving and Fa analyses indieale that the inter,.{,ange : expeeted toe rate at <br /> table levels,.f seta :,.,.thr.ugh the year 2025 with the proposed project based on the <br /> pFejeeted future traffic volumes. <br /> Intargtate 590.4;R 132 InteFiGhange <br /> Fmeway weaving and Famp analyses indi Pate that the inteFshange is expeeted to operate at <br /> aeeeptable levels of sen,ilse through the yeaF 2025 with the pFejea, basiod an the pFejeeted traffic <br /> s <br /> Mitigation Measures <br /> Measure 4.4.1 a: Although the intersection of Koster Road(South Costa Ranch Road) and <br /> Blewett Road is anticipated to operate at acceptable levels of service with project <br /> implementation,the intersection will require widening to accommodate truck turning <br /> movements if access to the mining site is provided via Koster Road, er <br /> Aptien 2 is allowed. Additionally,all-way stop control will be required to mitigate this <br /> intersection's cumulative year 2025 unacceptable levels of service impacts from Haul <br /> Route 1. If the County allows the use of this haul route site access,the project sponsor <br /> would fund its fair share of this measure as a condition of approval of the project.
