As shown in the tables above, impacts due to traffic would be reduced with the proposed project. Therefore, the EIR remains complete and adequate as it relates to traffic, and the project, as currently proposed, would not result in an increase in the number of vehicle trips, the volume-to-capacity ratio on roads, or congestion at intersections. b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of service standard established by the county congestion management agency for designated roads or highways? (No Substantial Change from Previous Analysis) The EIR addressed traffic impacts to surrounding streets and freeways. Mitigation measures were included to reduce impacts. Fair share contributions towards proposed improvements will reduce impacts to a less than significant level. The proposed project will result in fewer daily trips than the project as analyzed in the EIR, and no new or more significant impacts will occur. Therefore, the EIR Resolution No. 2009-025 Mac14R11aar®~outh EIR Addendum 46
