Administrative Draft Environmental Impact Report <br /> Gill Medical Center Project <br /> 3.7.3 Public Transportation <br /> Public transit in the Project area includes San Joaquin Regional Transit District (RTD) Route 23, a city-to- <br /> city route that travels along West Lane between Stockton and Lodi. Use of this existing route to create a <br /> transit stop at the Project site main entrance was investigated. However, due to the Project site's distance <br /> from the existing signalized West Lane/Eight Mile Road intersection and because of private property <br /> constraints at the proposed main entrance on the west side of West Lane Drive, construction of a new <br /> transit stop at the West Lane Drive main entrance is infeasible. Accordingly, a private shuttle service is <br /> being investigated to serve the project. <br /> 3.8 Construction Schedule and Approach <br /> Phase 1 construction is anticipated to begin in 2023 and take approximately 12 months to complete.The <br /> Phase 1 Hospital is expected to begin operations in 2024. Phase 2 construction is scheduled to begin in <br /> 2030 and take approximately 20 months to complete. The Phase 2 Main Hospital and other support uses <br /> are expected to begin operation in 2032. <br /> Construction activities would take place between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday and, if <br /> necessary, between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, consistent with the San Joaquin County <br /> Development Title. Phase 1 and 2 construction would generally progress as follows. <br /> Mobilization and Site Layout. The construction team would set up the construction site, including <br /> perimeter fencing, and implement initial construction best management practices (BMPs) (such as <br /> fencing environmentally sensitive areas). <br /> Civil Site Preparation, Road Installation, and Receipt of Construction Materials. The construction <br /> team would remove the existing vineyard and conduct minor grading to smooth and contour the <br /> site, construct access roads, install underground utilities, and prepare building sites. Materials <br /> needed for Project construction would be received and stored onsite within designated <br /> construction staging areas. <br /> Building Construction. Buildings and special use areas such as the helicopter landing pad and <br /> other utility and support infrastructure would be constructed. <br /> Landscaping, Signage and Demobilization Activities. Landscaping and finishing work such as <br /> signage and fences would be installed. The construction team would conduct post-construction <br /> site restoration, including site cleanup activities, removal of all temporary facilities and fences, and <br /> implementation of post-construction BMPs. <br /> 3.8.1 Grading <br /> Grading would consist of cuts and fills to build up development areas and ensure positive drainage as <br /> shown on Figure 3-7. No import or export of soil is anticipated as Project grading is expected to be <br /> balanced onsite. [Admin Draft note: to be confirmed]. It is expected that grading would be accomplished <br /> using conventional grading equipment listed in Table 3-4. Scrapers would cut and transport onsite soil <br /> within the Project site. Finish grading would be achieved by motor graders (blades) and skip loaders. <br /> Section 3.0 Project Description 3-22 October 2021 <br />
