NT <br />MENTS <br />INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FAIRVIEW BPIOGE REVLACEM REST TO STREET BEET) PROJECT <br />L S A <br />MAY 2020 (9Tx STREET To ANTx STREET) L, OLEGT <br />SANTA ANAL CALIFOPHIA <br />2035. For municipal operations emissions, the reduction goal is 30 percent by 2020 and 40 percent <br />by 2035. The CAP includes measures related to transportation and land use; energy; and solid waste, <br />water, and wastewater to work toward the reduction goals. <br />Many of the measures included in the CAP were established for new development projects and <br />municipal operations and would not be applicable to the proposed Project, as the proposed Project <br />is a roadway improvement project. CAP measures that are applicable to the proposed Project relate <br />to implementing a Safe Routes to School program, improving bike/pedestrian/transit connectivity, <br />and converting street lights to light -emitting diode (LED). The proposed Project would be consistent <br />with these measures, as the purpose of the proposed Project is to improve pedestrian/bicyclist <br />safety and traffic flow on and in the vicinity of the Fairview Street bridge. These fixtures would be <br />similar in type to other street lights throughout the City, and would be typical of pole -mounted <br />street lights used for bridges in the City, with lighting directed onto the roadway. With <br />implementation of Mitigation Measure AES-1, the proposed Project would include low -light level, <br />energy -efficient lighting, consistent with the CAP measure. As discussed above, because the Project <br />would add lane capacity to the Fairview Street bridge, some traffic currently using other routes <br />would use the widened Fairview Street bridge, which would increase VMT in the area. On the other <br />hand, the improved bridge may attract additional pedestrians and bicyclists due to added sidewalks <br />and bikeways, which would allow for increased use of alternate means of transportation. Therefore, <br />the proposed Project would be consistent with the CAP and would not conflict with plans, policies, <br />or regulations adopted for the purpose of reducing GHG emissions. This impact would be less than <br />significant, and no mitigation is required. <br />R:\WKE1702\ISMND\Fina1 ISMND\Fairview Street Bridge Final ISMND7c65rBBD,8 1 3-47 <br />
