mitigation strategies. We will determine the impact two alignment alternatives on existing and planned corridor transportation systems. The evaluation of existing and future conditions will include analysis of intersection capabilities (level of service), bus operations, parking deficiencies, and accessibility to major streets and highways. Conditions that can be mitigated through implementation of the baseline alternative improvements and/or improvements will be evaluated. The traffic impact assessments will also include analysis of mid block traffic impacts as well as the need for adjustments to signal phasing and operations due to the operation of the streetcar. The potential for impacts during construction will also be assessed. Considering the high existing traffic volumes and congestion levels, any short-term closure of streets could result in significant circulation issues. We will work with the City and major stakeholders (as appropriate) to develop construction impact scenarios. The traffic impact analysis will be used to inform our early consultations with the CPUC related to the development of the at -grade transit system with street crossings. We will also develop an initial traffic concept plan that shows signing/striping and traffic control concepts in a format consistent with the City standard plans for inclusion in the conceptual plan sets developed in Task 6.2.1 as appropriate. The Cordoba team will submit the analysis and concept design to the City for review and comment and will work with City staff to address issues and questions that the City has related to the streetcar layout. We will address comments of other reviewing agencies as part of this effort. Deliverable(s) — Traffic Operations Analysis & Impact Technical Report Design Sheets for inclusion in the Concept Design Plan Set Task 6.2.3 Station/Stop Locations Preliminary station locations developed in Task 4.0 for each of the Build Alternatives will be reviewed and confirmed or modified based on a more detailed assessment of the individual locations. Any proposed park and ride locations will be laid out to confirm the number of spaces available and the extent of property acquisition. Key considerations in the identification of appropriate station or stop locations will include: • Mode -appropriate average distances between stations/stops • Maximizing the ability and attractiveness of transfers between transit services • Providing direct access to major existing attractors and generators of trips • Positioning to serve future development and redevelopment sites • Availability of space for improved station amenities • Minimizing the loss of on -street parking • Avoiding impacts to business accesses 171Pa,ge
