    2. Existing Conditions

    2. EXISTING CONDITIONS This chapter provides a description of existing conditions within the City of Lafayette relevant to the Bikeways Master Plan. Information is based on site visits, existing planning documents, maps, and conversations with Lafayette residents and City of Lafayette, Contra Costa County and other agency staff. 2.1. SETTING The City of Lafayette is situated in a semi-rural valley in Contra Costa County, approximately twenty miles east of San Francisco, on the east side of the Oakland/Berkeley hills. Lafayette has a population of approximately 24,000, and encompasses about 15 square miles of land area, for a population density of about 1,500 persons per square mile. Settlement started in the late 1800s but incorporation did not occur until 1968. Lafayette developed its first general plan in 1974, and this general plan was last updated in 2002. The City is bordered on the north by Briones Regional Lafayette-Moraga Trail along St. Mary’s Park, on the east by Walnut Creek, on the south by Moraga and Road near Florence Drive the west by Orinda. Mixed in along its borders are small pockets of unincorporated Contra Costa County. Lafayette has varied terrain, with steep hills located to the north and south. Highway 24 runs through the City, San Francisco is a 25-minute BART ride away, and Oakland’s Rockridge district is just two BART stops away. LAFAYETTE LAND USES Lafayette’s existing development consists mostly of low- to medium-density single family residential, commercial, parkland and open space. Land uses reflect a somewhat older growth pattern: Commercial areas are located on both sides of Mt.

    University of California, Berkeley 2 A TOUR OF THIS WALKING TOUR is a guide to Strawberry STRAWBERRY Creek on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley. Strawberry Creek is a CREEK ON major landscape feature of the campus, with THE UC its headwaters above the UC Botanical Garden BERKELEY in Strawberry Canyon. This tour covers only the central campus and should last about an CAMPUS hour. It begins at Faculty Glade, follows the South Fork downstream, and ends at Giannini Hall along the North Fork. A map with indicated stops is located at the end of this booklet. A BRIEF HISTORY In 1860, the College of California moved from Oakland to the present campus site, pur- chasing the land from Orrin Simmons, a sea captain turned farmer. Strawberry Creek was one of the main reasons the founders chose Simmons’ tract. “All the other striking advan- tages of this location could not make it a place fit to be chosen as the College Home without this water. With it every excellence is of double value.” The creek was named for the wild strawberries that once lined its banks. The central campus at that time was pastureland and grain fields. Coast live oaks, sycamores, bay laurel trees, and native shrubs lined the banks of Strawberry Creek. Three forks of the creek meandered through the cam- pus. In 1882, the small middle fork draining the central glade was filled to build a cinder running track, now occupied by the Life Sci- ences Building Addition. By the turn of the century, urbanization had already begun to affect the creek.

Transportation/Traffic IV.L.1 Introduction This chapter evaluates project impacts on transportation facilities and existing transportation operating conditions in the vicinity of the project area, including neighborhood traffic, vehicular circulation, parking, transit and shuttle services, and pedestrian and bicycle circulation. IV.L.2 Setting LBNL is located close to three major highways: Interstate 80/5801 approximately three miles to the west, and State Routes (SR) 24 and 13, two miles to the south. Access from the Lab to I-80/580 is through the city of Berkeley via arterial roads. Access to SR 24 and SR 13 is via Tunnel Road. Grizzly Peak Boulevard, which runs through a largely undeveloped area, provides a minor local access route. Berkeley Lab is approximately one mile from the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station in downtown Berkeley. IV.L.2.1 Regional Roadways and Routes into Berkeley Regional freeway access to LBNL is provided by I-80/580, SR 24, and SR 13. These roadways are part of both the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) Metropolitan Transportation System (MTS) and the Alameda County Congestion Management Agency (ACCMA) Congestion Management Program (CMP) network (see Figure IV.L-1). The primary objective of designating a CMP system is to monitor performance in relation to established level of service standards (ACCMA, 1999a). The MTS network is generally consistent with, but not identical to, the CMP network, encompassing 22 miles of local streets in the city of Berkeley not in the CMP network. Interstate 80. I-80 connects the San Francisco Bay Area with the Sacramento region.

    TR-060, the East Bay Hills Fire Oakland-Berkeley, California, October 1991* United States Fire Administration Technical Report Series

    TR-060, The East Bay Hills Fire Oakland-Berkeley, California, October 1991* United States Fire Administration Technical Report Series The East Bay Hills Fire Oakland-Berkeley, California Federal Emergency Management Agency United States Fire Administration National Fire Data Center United States Fire Administration Fire Investigations Program The United States Fire Administration develops reports on selected major fires throughout the country. The fires usually involve multiple deaths or a large loss of property. But the primary criterion for deciding to do a report is whether it will result in significant "lessons learned." In some cases these lessons bring to light new knowledge about fire -the effect of building construction or contents, human behavior in fire, etc In other cases, the lessons are not new but are serious enough to highhght once again, with yet another fire tragedy report. The reports are Sent to fire magazines and are distributed at national and regional fire meetings. The International Association of Fire Chiefs assists USFA in disseminating the findings throughout the fire service.. On a continuing basis the reports are available on request from USFA; announcements of their availability are published widely in fire journals and newsletters This body of work provides detailed information on the nature of the fire problem for policymakers who must decide on allocations of resources between fire and other pressing problems, and within the fire service to improve codes and code enforcement, training, public tire education, building technology, and other related areas The Fire Administration, which has no regulatory authority, sends an cxperienced fire investigator into a community after a major incident only after having conferred with the local tire authorities to insure that USFA's assistance and presence would be supportive and would in no way interfere with any review of the incident they are themselves conducting.
