Wolfe Rd project driveway: ■ Safety concerns of weaving over a short merge to I -280 NB ramp (CEQA impact) ■ Delay to non -Apple traffic on SB Wolfe Road (Not a CEQA impact) ■ Original Mitigation Measures in EIR: ■ MM TRANS 23: Limit left turn lanes to two ■ MM TRANS 23 (Alternate): Keep three left turn lanes with additional striping, signage, monitoring and fines. Leaves option to reduce left turn lanes to two if monitoring indicates impact not mitigated Alternate Mitigation Measure • MM TRANS- 23(Second Alternate) — • PC recommended not having penalties for unsafe lane changes • Removal of penalties does not reduce the effect of the mitigation measure ■ Mitigation measure retains monitoring and incentive (i.e. reduction of left turn lanes to two) to manage unsafe weaving for nine months after complete occupancy of the main building ■ New mitigation measure reduces impact to less-than- significant level 0 0 Issues for Consideration MM TRANS -27 — CUPERTINO VILLAGE DRIVEWAY Impact identified at Cupertino Village driveway located near newly proposed Wolfe Road driveway because: • Drivers may attempt to make a U -turn by crossing three lanes • SB back queuing could block the driveway leading to impatience in merging, during peak hours MM TRANS 27: Close driveway ■ MM TRANS 27 (Alternate): Modify driveway to allow right turn in only 4 79 I �� ilk !
