RESOLUTION 94-020 349 e) The project will improve signal progression on Main Street through the elimination of one arterial signal. Improve Traffic Flow on McFadden Avenue The realignment and widening of McFadden Avenue between Maple and Main Street will improve traffic flow on McFadden Avenue. The project will eliminate the off,,et intex~ections at Main Street, thereby replacing the right mm/left mm movement along McFadden at Main with a through movement. Thus, the project is anticipated to reduce travel times for an average motorist along McFadden by approximately 60 seconds at peak hour. b) Thc project will improve intersection efficiency and levels of service at the Main/McFadden intersection (as noted above). Improve Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety at Schools in the Vicinity It has been demonstrated that cars turning left and right present more of an accident threat to bicyclist~ and pedestrians than through traffic. Changing the "right/left" through movement on McFadden to a straight movement will lessen conflicts with students accessing Lathrop Intermediate School and Franklin Elementary School. Reduce Through Traffic on Cypre~ Avenue The cul-de-sacing of Cypress Avenue at realigned McFadden Avenue will re- duce the through traffic on Cypress. Reduction of through traffic on residen- tial streets is consistent with City policy. CONCLUSION Specific economic, social or other considerations make the alternatives to the propo~."d project infeasible, as identified and analyzed in the project Final For the identified significant impac~ that cannot be mitigated to a level below significance, the City of Santa Aha finds that all of the mitigation rneasur~ specified in the Final EIR are feasible and have been required on the project by the Conditions of Approval. The City of Santa/ma finds that the project benefits outweigh the significant unavoidable adverse impacts from short-term project construction activities. 04/13/94(I: ...SNA402 ..OVEI~D E.RFr) 4
