KLE/NFEL®ER Bright People.Right Solutions. STAA-Regular (70 feet) or STAR-Long (74 feet). KD Anderson prepared a generalized analysis of truck turning movements that would be entering and leaving ESRTS in order to determine whether the Cal-Legal trucks can complete required turns without encroaching into opposing lanes or leaving the traveled way or shoulder. The analysis included required turns extending from SR 4 ramps to the proposed ESRTS Weber Avenue driveways. The KD Anderson analysis, which is included in Appendix E, found that all turns to and from SR 4 can be completed without improvements. At the proposed project driveway, the proposed driveway configuration may need minor modifications to accommodate truck turning. Parking on Weber Avenue will need to be restricted, and entering trucks will need to enter the opposing lane. In order for the street system to safely accommodate the projected truck movements, ESRTS will need to comply any necessary improvements, including street, striping and signage modifications, will need to be defined in an engineering process, reviewed and approved by the City and then made by the applicant. The required improvements are reflected in the mitigation measures below. City staff has expressed concerns regarding truck queuing along Weber Avenue. As discussed in Section 2.0 Project Description, the project would provide queuing for an estimated 15 trucks, which exceeds estimated queuing requirements of six trucks, by a factor of 2.5. As a result, the project is not expected to result in any significant queuing on Weber Avenue. In the event, that queuing requirements exceed expectations, a truck metering plan will be needed, as required by a mitigation measure below. This would reduce potential queuing impacts to a less than significant level Level of Significance: Potentially significant Mitigation Measures: 1. The ODS shall define and construct any necessary improvements, including parking, street improvements, striping and signage modifications needed to safely accommodate truck turning movements associated with the project. 2. In the event that the project queuing requirements extend off-site, the ODS shall be responsible for preparing and implementing a truck metering plan that minimizes off-site queuing. Significance After Mitigation: Less than significant Implementation: The ODS will be responsible for the analysis, design and construction of truck turning safety measures, and for preparation and implementation of the truck queuing plan, if required. 121339/ST011 R226 3-61 October 14, 2011 Copyright 2011 Kleinfelder
