City of Pleasanton—Hidden Canyon Residences and Preserve Project <br />Final EIR Responses to Written Comments <br />FirstCarbon Solutions 3-59 <br />https://adecinnovations.sharepoint.com/sites/PublicationsSite/Shared Documents/Publications/Client (PN-JN)/2148/21480016/EIR/4 - Final EIR/21480016 Sec03-00 Responses to Written Comments.docx <br />Cornell Holmes (C.HOLMES) <br />Response to C.HOLMES-1 <br />A Transportation Impact Study was prepared for the proposed project and is included as Appendix H <br />of the Draft EIR. This report included a sight distance analysis, which is incorporated in the Draft EIR. <br />Chapter 2, Project Description, Exhibit 2-7b of the Draft EIR is mislabeled as Dublin Canyon Road <br />Project Entrance but actually shows the existing Dublin Canyon Road and Canyon Meadows Drive <br />intersection as well as a simulation of what the intersection would look like after project <br />implementation. As shown, there would be a significant improvement in visibility as well as the <br />addition of a traffic signal, striping and markings to enhance safety for motorists, bicyclists, and <br />pedestrians. Section 5, Errata, includes the corrected Exhibit titles. This comment is included in the <br />administrative record and will be provided to the decision-makers for review and consideration. The <br />comment did not provide new, substantial evidence with respect to the disposition of significant <br />environmental impacts evaluated in the Draft EIR. Therefore, no further response is required. <br />Response to C.HOLMES-2 <br />Please refer to Master Response 1, Non-CEQA Issues Not Addressed in Final EIR, in Section 2, Master <br />Responses, of this document. This Master Response provides an explanation of the scope of CEQA as <br />it relates to development of the proposed project. Concerns regarding existing accident patterns or <br />safety conditions on roadways not affected by the proposed project are outside the scope of CEQA <br />review for this project, unless the proposed project would exacerbate those conditions. The Draft EIR <br />concludes that the proposed project would not substantially worsen traffic safety conditions on <br />nearby roadways. <br />The City nevertheless recognizes that traffic safety is an important community concern. Comments <br />received during the public review period are part of the administrative record for the proposed <br />project and are reviewed by City staff with expertise in the relevant subject areas, including <br />transportation and public works. Concerns related to roadway operations, maintenance, and traffic <br />safety within the City’s jurisdiction may also be addressed outside the CEQA process through routine <br />City programs, service requests, or future capital improvement planning, as appropriate. The <br />comment did not provide new, substantial evidence with respect to the disposition of significant <br />environmental impacts evaluated in the Draft EIR. Therefore, no further response is required.
