Socioeconomic Impact Analysis, Population, Housing, & Environmental Justice - A socioeconomic and environmental justice analysis will be prepared consistent with the CEQ and Presidential Executive Orders. The assessment of environmental justice issues will involve a cumulative impacts assessment and will be completed just prior to the Administrative Draft EIS/EIR. In addition, the Cordoba team will develop a summary of the socioeconomic analysis conducted as part of the economic/financial task for the project for inclusion in the community sections of the Administrative Draft EIS/EIR. Deliverable(s) - Socioeconomic Impact Analysis Population Housing & Environmental Justice technical report with analysis for incorporation into the EIS/EIR. • Transportation and Circulation Impacts - The transportation impacts, including transit, traffic circulation and parking, will be summarized in a DE/S/DE/R Traffic Circulation and Parking Technical Report to provide information to evaluate the proposed alignment alternatives against the base or no -project alternative. The evaluation of transportation impacts will include the following: - Evaluation of Existing Traffic Conditions: The existing traffic conditions will be evaluated and assessed at up to 40 key study area intersections as identified in the scoping task. An existing conditions assessment of on -street parking will be compiled to identify supply and occupancy within the neighborhood parking impact area at each proposed station site. Within each station area, the existing number of spaces will be identified along with the duration of occupancy to be compiled in summary tables and figures. - Evaluation of Future Base Traffic Conditions without the Project: The project horizon year (2035) conditions without the project (No Build alternative) will be evaluated using the future base traffic conditions from OCTA's travel forecasting model that will account for background growth in traffic due to land use development and population growth. The highway traffic volume projections will be post - processed at each study intersection to develop the peak hour turning movement projections. The intersection levels of service will be summarized and reported to provide a base line comparison for the project alternatives. - Evaluation of Future Traffic Conditions with Project Alternatives: Using the highway traffic data provided by OCTA's travel forecasting model for each alterative alignment scenario, peak hour turning movement projections will be developed at study intersections that will provide the future "with project" conditions. Additional impacts associated with potential reduction of automobile trips, restriction of turning movements, driveway impacts, potential loss of on -street loading zones, and diversion of vehicles into neighborhoods will also be addressed in the analysis. The results of the analysis will be summarized and reported for easy comparison between the different project alternatives and the No Build alternative. Identification of Significant Project Impacts and Recommended Mitigation Measures: Impacts generated by the project alternatives will be identified through comparing the results of the No Build and "with project" alternatives through changes or differences in level of service designations and volume to capacity ratios. The mitigation measures will be identified for each study intersection by project alternative, including construction activities of the alternative, in a matrix that identifies the extent of the physical improvements (restriping, intersection and street widening, right of way, etc.). 30 1 P a e
