Hazelton Avenue Stockton, CA 95205 Dear Ms . Walker: C .trans has r v'v ic'raECi ta12 Fii�FiilCatiOn Referral and Environmental Information Forms for the Eagle Park #5 sub- division and offers the following comments : The environmental information portion of the Referral makes no reference to traffic impacts on streets and roads in the project area. It should be noted that the air quality section indicates that no vehicles will be associated with the completed project and no air polluting emissions will result. These answers are, at best, misleading. It can be anticipated that in excess of 300 vehicle trips per day may be generated by this project. _ The individual impacts are not considered great, but will significantly contribute to the cumulative traffic impacts resulting from the large scale development occurring in the Lathrop Road area. A proportional share of the traffic impacts from each of the minor developments in the Lathrop area should be determined. This will enable cumulative impacts to be defined, from which appropriate mitigation may be recommended. Caltrans and San Joaquin County are in agreement that the current and potential development in this area will create the need for improvements at the Lathrop Road/I-5 interchange. In order to determine equitable funding for such improvements an accounting of the impacts and assessment for funding on a fair share basis should be arranged. An EIR and traffic analysis was prepared for the Lathrop area in 1987 . It is apparently outdated as Eagle Park #5 is beyond the scope of that document and is not included in the cumulative project listing.
