Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report Gill Medical Center Project As a result, the Phase 2 impact of increased demand for public transit is considered potentially significant. With implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.19-1f, this impact would be reduced to a less-than- significant with mitigation incorporated. Increased Demand for Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities As discussed above, Phase 2 development would generate more than 90 percent of overall vehicle trips and therefore would produce a higher demand for bicycle and pedestrian facilities compared to Phase 1. The Project vicinity is only sparsely developed with no bicycle and/or pedestrian facilities existing on roads located adjacent the Project site. However, when Phase 2 construction proceeds in 2030, approved and planned development immediately south of Eight Mile Road would result in these types of facilities being constructed with a corresponding increase in pedestrian travel demand in the Project vicinity. As discussed above, Phase 1 construction would include the following pedestrian facilities: full curb, gutter and sidewalk at the driveway entrance and along the project frontage with West Lane; pedestrian sidewalks located on each side of the West Land entrance drive and northern segment; and, dedicated onsite pedestrian pathways constructed to ADA standards linking all parking lots, the roundabout and the medical center building entrance to ensure a safe path of travel. Phase 2 would add the following: pedestrian sidewalks located on each side of the new Ham Lane and Eight Mile Road entrance drives; and expansion of Phase 1 onsite dedicated pedestrian pathways constructed to ADA standards to serve Phase 2 development. As noted above, Phase 2 of would include sidewalks along the Ham Lane entrance driveway. Pedestrian facilities are expected to be provided along West Lane south of the project site before pedestrian facilities along Ham Lane south of the project site. Ham Lane is currently a narrow roadway with no shoulders and roadside ditches. As a result, directing pedestrian travel to Ham Lane could result in unsafe pedestrian travel along Ham Lane, and this is considered a significant impact.With implementation of Mitigation Measure 4.19-1 g, this impact will be reduced to a less-than-significant with mitigation incorporated. Mitigation Measures 4.19-1a: Provide Curb, Gutter and Sidewalk Between the Project Site and Eight Mile Road The applicant shall construct curb, gutter and sidewalk along the east side of West Lane between the southern edge of the project site and Eight Mile Road. County of San Joaquin staff has determined that County-owned right-of-way is approximately 110 feet wide along this portion of West Lane. A preliminary assessment indicates this right-of- way width is adequate to construct curb, gutter and sidewalk. Transportation 4.19-37 October 2021
