<br />The trat1lc study also identitIes that the Bernal Avenue/Valley Avenue and the Sunol Boule- <br />vard/I-680 Northbound Ramps will operate at LOS "E" with/without the project. The following <br />table describes the traftlc that the Home Depot project will add to these intersections and the <br />added delay: <br /> <br />Table 5: Home Depot's Impacts to the Bernal/Valley and the Sunol/I-680 NB Interscctions <br /> <br />i . ---------- <br />!

For the existing plus approved scenario, "Table 3 -- Intersections Levels Of Ser- <br />vice" shows the Stanley Boulevard/Valley Avenue/Bernal Avenue intersection without the pro- <br />ject operating at Levels-of-Service (LOS) ''F'' (106.8 seconds delay) and "E" (68.6 seconds de- <br />lay) for the a.m./p.m. peak hours. With the project, the level of service remains the same, but <br />the delay times increase to 111.2 seconds delay in the a.m. peak hour and 74.5 seconds delay in <br />the p.n. peak hour. <br /> <br />Several mitigations are required to return this intersection to an acceptable level of service. <br />Ponderosa Homes is also required to construct a westbound free right turn lane. Staff notes that <br />the engineering plans for this improvement have been submitted to City for review. The Home <br />Depot project is conditioned to change the existing eastbound right-turn lane to an eastbound <br />through lane and re-construct the northbound free right turn lane. This improvement is shown <br />on the site plan. With these mitigations, the a.m. peak level of service is "D" with 45.1 seconds <br />of delay and the p.m. peak hour level of service is "[)" with 44.5 seconds of delay. <br /> <br />PCUP-I65/P DR-529/PMOD-SI-25-7M <br /> <br />Page IS of.fS <br /> <br />December 13, 2006 <br />
