It should be noted that Intersections #7-9 and #16 were not analyzed in the <br />AM peak hour because these intersections were not included in the City’s Synchro model and no traffic <br />counts were collected. However, it is not anticipated that Intersection #7, Stoneridge Mall Road / East <br />Project Driveway, would operate below the LOS D criteria in the AM peak hour because this driveway <br />will likely be used by patrons to Stoneridge Mall after the AM peak hour due to the mall’s later operating <br />hours. Similarly, Intersection #8 (Stoneridge Mall Road / Springdale Avenue) and Intersection #9 <br />(Stoneridge Mall Road / South Project Driveway) would likely be used by Stoneridge Mall patrons after <br />the AM peak hour due to the mall’s later operating hours. Based on field observations conducted prior <br />to the COVID-19 pandemic, southbound congestion occurs on Stoneridge Mall Road in the PM peak <br />hour from Stoneridge Drive and extends north of Genomics Place. Due to the congestion on Stoneridge <br />Mall Road, it is expected that eastbound right vehicles exiting the east Project driveway would reroute <br />to use the southeast and southwest Project driveway. Eastbound left vehicles exiting the east Project <br />driveway are expected to remain as these vehicles would be able to enter the intersection even when <br />there is congestion on southbound Stoneridge Mall Road with the addition of the “Keep Clear” legend. <br />Due to the limitations of Synchro to analyze the congestion on southbound Stoneridge Mall Road and <br />the “Keep Clear” legend at the east Project driveway, Intersection #7 (Stoneridge Mall Road/East <br />Project Driveway) in the PM peak hour was not analyzed in the Synchro analysis but rather in a <br />SimTraffic simulation model. Further details on the SimTraffic analysis are provided in the following <br />section. As mentioned previously, this scenario assumes future conditions and includes trips generated <br />by local approved projects, the Workday project, 10x Genomics, and the previously approved 2012 <br />Housing Element. The proposed Project is consistent with the previously approved 2012 Housing <br />Element and therefore is accounted for under this scenario. <br />All study intersections function within acceptable LOS standards under this analysis scenario. The <br />following intersections would operate below LOS D, but are Gateway intersections for which a lower <br />standard is acceptable: <br />· Intersection #3 – Foothill Road / Dublin Canyon Road – Canyon Way (PM Peak Hour) <br />· Intersection #15 – Johnson Drive / Stoneridge Drive (PM Peak Hour) <br />Synchro outputs are attached in Attachment C. <br />In comparing the LOS results below with the results of that in the 10x Genomics Traffic Analysis under <br />Near-Term Plus Project Conditions, the LOS results for both studies are similar and also identify the <br />two Gateway intersection above as operating below LOS D. The project applicant will pay the required <br />project-related City Traffic Fees which help to fund the administration of Citywide transportation <br />improvements, including improvements of roadways and intersections in the project vicinity.
