b. PUD Condition _ limits pedestrians to one side of Bernal Avenue and <br />ensures that sidewalks are wide enough to allow two-way usage so that bikes may use <br />the sidewalks through the interchange. Condition provides demand-activated <br />crossing at signalized intersections along Bernal Avenue. <br />c. Specific Plan Transportation Network Policy 5, Guideline 5.1, also provides <br />for on-street bikeways oroff-street combined bikeways/pathways. <br />15. Impact J7b. Development of any Central or East Parcel residential use that occurs <br />prior [o the proposed grade separation would create the potential for pedestrian <br />conflicts, especially involving school children, with the Union Pacific railroad tracks. <br />Mitigation Measure: <br />Measure J7b. If residential development occurs on the Central or East Parcel before <br />the grade separation between Valley Avenue (Cooperative Plan) or Junipero Street <br />(Preferred Plan) and the UPRR tracks is in place, construct fencing along [he Union <br />Pacific railroad tracks through the project site to reduce the likelihood that school <br />children will cross the tracks to get to the existing and proposed schools along Case <br />Avenue. <br />Findine: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, [he <br />project which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effect <br />identified in the Final EIR to a less than significant level. <br />Facts in Support of Findine: The impact will be avoided or reduced based on [he <br />following: <br />a. PUD Condition _ requires a fence along the UPRR that will prevent <br />children from crossing the tracks. Until the underpass is constructed, this fence will <br />mitigate this potential impact. The GHCBI Project Development Agreement requires <br />the developer to construct the undercrossing when 50% of the total units in Phase I aze <br />constructed. <br />16. Impact J7c. Street design that includes roundabouts and traffic circles would <br />create [he potential for bike and pedestrian conflicts with motor vehicles. (Preferred <br />Plan) <br />Mitieation Measures: <br />Measure J7c(1). Design the traffic roundabouts according to the recommended ITE <br />practices and accommodate traffic flows at 15 to 20 mph. Place "Yield" signs at the <br />approaches to the roundabouts and provide clearly marked pedestrian crosswalks. <br />31 <br />
