Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan Initial Study <br /> Less Than <br /> Significant <br /> Potentially Impact With Less Than <br /> Significant Mitigation Significant No <br /> Issues Impact Incorporated Impact Impact <br /> 14. Recreation <br /> a) Would the project increase the use of existing n I X <br /> neighborhood and regional parks or other recreational <br /> facilities such that substantial physical deterioration of the <br /> facility would occur or be accelerated? <br /> b) Does the project include recreational facilities or require <br /> the construction or expansion of recreational facilities <br /> which might have an adverse physical effect on the <br /> environment? <br /> Environmental Setting <br /> The City has developed parks throughout Pleasanton. Within Pleasanton are 16 community (20 <br /> including joint school facilities) and 26 neighborhood parks run by the City. In addition, the East Bay <br /> Regional Park District runs two regional parks Pleasanton Ridge Park and Shadow Cliffs Recreational <br /> Area. <br /> Significance Criteria <br /> The impact questions above constitute the significance criteria for this environmental topic. <br /> Discussion of Checklist Items <br /> Less- than Significant Impacts. Development of the trails, bicycle routes, and sidewalks identified in the <br /> proposed Master Plan could increase use of existing parks or other recreational facilities that would be <br /> connected by these routes. However it is not anticipated that substantial physical deterioration of any <br /> facility would occur or be accelerated due to implementation of the proposed Master Plan. <br /> The proposed Master Plan would not expand recreational facilities except for the trails, bicycle routes, <br /> and sidewalks identified in the Plan. In addition, the proposed Master Plan would not result in <br /> increased park usage not planned for and accounted for by the City. <br /> Less Than <br /> Significant <br /> Potentially Impact With Less Than <br /> Significant Mitigation Significant No <br /> Issues Impact Incorporated Impact Impact <br /> 15. Transportation /Traffic Would the project: <br /> a) Cause an increase in traffic which is substantial in relation 1 1 X <br /> to the existing traffic load and capacity of the street <br /> system (i.e., result in a substantial increase in either the <br /> number of vehicle trips, the volume to capacity ratio on <br /> roads, or congestion at intersections)? <br /> b) Exceed, either individually or cumulatively, a level of 1 I X <br /> service standard established by the county congestion <br /> management agency for designated roads or highways? <br /> Revised 9/4/09 28 9/4/2009 <br />
