SLIDE 4
u Informs decision makers and public on the
proposed project and its impacts on the physical environment
u Provides an opportunity for the public and

u Identifies feasible ways to avoid or reduce
potentially significant environmental damage
u Discloses significant and unavoidable impacts
What is CEQA (cont.)

SLIDE 5
Limitations of CEQA
u Unable to Fix Existing Environmental Issues u Only Evaluates Impacts of the Project u Can Only Modify a Project if Significant Impacts are
Discovered

Traffic Study Area
Based on the calculated project trip generation and distribution, the following intersections and roadway segments were selected for analysis: In Intersect ctions
u 1. Santa Carina & Santa Victoria u 2. Santa Cecelia & Santa Victoria u 3. Santa Bartola & Santa Victoria
Ro Roadway ay Segment
u Santa Victoria from Santa Carina to Santa Helena

Results of Traffic Analysis
u The project does not significantly impact any of the study
intersections or roadway segment.
u The study intersections and roadway segment, operate
acceptably for Existing Year (2018) and Opening Year (2021) with Project scenarios.
u With no significant environmental impacts, there are no
mitigation measures.
u The project will accommodate the existing vehicle queue.
