NARRATIVE DISCUSSION Environmental Setting The proposed project site is located along the north and south sides of Weber Avenue west of Filbert Street in east Stockton. Primary project access to the project site from Interstate 5 and SR 99 is via the SR 4 Crosstown Freeway and its interchange with Filbert Street (Figures 2-2 through 2-5). The project site is located approximately 300 feet north of the Crosstown Freeway. The SR 4 Crosstown Freeway connects 1-5 with SR 99. In the vicinity of the project site, the Crosstown Freeway is a six-lane facility accommodating approximately 101,000 daily trips west of Filbert Street (City of Stockton, 2007). Single-lane on- and off-ramps to/from Filbert Street are provided; multiple lanes are provided at both ramp intersections with Filbert Street to provide for turning movements; both intersections signal-controlled. Filbert Street is a four-lane facility at SR 4, narrowing to two lanes at and north of Weber Avenue/Myrtle Street intersection. This intersection is signalized. Average daily traffic on Filbert Street north of SR 4 is approximately 12,000 vehicles per day (City of Stockton, 2007). Weber Avenue through the project site and west is a two-lane street. Full access is presently available at the project site entry, at the Weber Avenue/F Street intersection and elsewhere along Weber Avenue. City traffic data is not available for Weber Avenue; site observations indicate that traffic is relatively light but for existing traffic associated with the project. KD Anderson prepared an analysis of traffic operations in the vicinity of the proposed project; a copy of the technical report is shown in Appendix E. The analysis included field traffic observations on September 2, 2011 at various Filbert Street intersections in the project vicinity, and at the E Street / Weber Avenue intersection. Almost all project- related truck traffic used Filbert Street to access the existing site. 121339/ST011 R226 3-58 October 14, 2011 Copyright 2011 Kleinfelder
