Intersection Level of Service Calculations B. Turn Lane Warrant Analyses C. Signal Warrant Analyses Transportation Impact Analysis for the Richmond Country Club ii May 6, 2020 Executive Summary The proposed project includes the construction of 102 single-family homes on the western portion of the Richmond Country Club site. The analysis addresses potential impacts at ten study intersections. The intersection of Castro Street/I-580 West Ramps currently operates at an unacceptable level of service during the p.m. peak hour and would be expected to continue doing so with the addition of project-generated trips and under Background (Existing plus Approved) Conditions. The intersection of San Pablo Avenue/Richmond Parkway currently operates at an unacceptable level of service during both the a.m. and p.m. peak hours and would be expected to continue doing so with the addition of project-generated trips and under Background Conditions. The intersections of Castro Street/I-580 West Ramps, Canal Boulevard/I-580 East Ramps, San Pablo Avenue/ Richmond Parkway, and Blume Drive-I-80 South Ramps/Richmond Parkway would operate at unacceptable levels of service with or without the project under Cumulative conditions. The impact of the project on the study intersections would be within the range of added delay that is considered acceptable under applicable standards. The project VMT rate is expected to be less than the citywide average, indicating that the project would be expected to have a less-than-significant impact on vehicle miles traveled. The project should implement a TDM plan to encourage smarter travel and reduce the amount of congestion generated by the project. The operation at the at-grade railroad crossing at Giant Road/Giant Highway would be minimally impacted by the project. Signage at the intersection should be improved. The project is not expected to increase the Delay Index above significant levels identified in the CCTA Technical Procedures or above 5 percent, therefore the project will not cause a significant impact to the CMP routes. Access for pedestrians will be adequate upon construction of sidewalks between the project site and the nearest transit stop. Bicycle and transit facilities are adequate to serve the project site. A left-turn lane on Markovich Lane at the new street connection is not warranted under Cumulative plus Project volumes during either the a.m. or p.m. peak hour. Sight distances at the project driveway are adequate, as is internal vehicle circulation within the site. The Richmond Fire Department should be consulted to confirm that the site plan is consistent with their minimum standards for fire truck access. Transportation Impact Analysis for the Richmond Country Club May 6, 2020 1 Introduction This report presents an analysis of the potential transportation impacts that would be associated with the proposed development of 102 single family homes to be located at the Richmond Country Club in the City of Richmond. The traffic study was completed in accordance with the criteria established by the City of Richmond and is consistent with standard traffic engineering techniques. Prelude The purpose of a traffic impact study is to provide City of Richmond staff and policy makers with data they can use to make an informed decision regarding the potential traffic impacts of a proposed project, and any associated improvements that

Osprey Update As you may recall, the Golden Gate Audubon Society has been undertaking a contest to provide names for the osprey offspring of Richmond and Rosie. They received more than 300 name suggestions for the chicks, and asked people to vote to select from among the finalists. Cindy Margulis of the Audubon Society reports that the votes are in and that the chicks now have official names. Whirley is the older chick, hatched on May 12th, and Rivet is the younger chick, hatched on May 14th, Mother's Day. Richmond Port Director Jim Matzorkis was the contest winner, being the first person to suggest the name Whirley, which was overwhelmingly the most popular name from the top 10 choices. According to Ms. Margulis: Personally, I'm delighted that the names again harken to outstanding assets that make Richmond such a great city! Now, there's one intrepid "whirley bird" plus that darling younger chick who will keep us all firmly riveted to the future of these birds and our shared environment and shared duty to be good stewards of our magnificent Bay and its watersheds and habitats for birds and people. 1 Whirley and Rivet enjoying some sunshine in their nest.

As previously reported in this weekly report, and thanks to the Golden Gate Audubon Society, the San Francisco Bay area – and the world – can get an astonishing view into the life of an intrepid pair of ospreys that are nesting in Richmond, thanks to the launch of the region’s first live streaming osprey nest camera. The live video stream, viewable at http://SFBayOspreys.org, allows the world to enjoy close and personal views of an osprey pair – named Rosie and Richmond – as they raise young over the next several months. The video stream also captures the magnificent views of San Francisco Bay. There was exciting news from the nest this week, as Richmond and Rosie the Ospreys had their first chick hatch today! The little one started busting out just around midnight very early Friday morning and we got first peek at the truly hatched (emerged) chick between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM. There is still one egg yet to hatch, so there might be another little bundle of bird to celebrate in just a few more days. Cindy Margulis, of the Golden Gate Audubon Society, reports that they are accepting nominations for names for the chicks, though they won't be able to guess their genders for quite a while yet.

Upcoming Events 510 Telephone Area Code Update and an Important update on the new 341 Area Code The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has approved an overlay that will add the new 341 area code to the geographic region served by the 510 area code. The overlay will allow existing 510 area code customers to keep their telephone numbers and area code. As of June 22, 2019, all calls made from 510 area code numbers must be completed by dialing 1 + area code + 7 digit telephone number. Calls originating from city landlines (i.e., station phone) will still need to dial 9 first (9 + 1 + area code + phone number). Calls that are dialed without the “1” and the area code will not be completed and will result in a recording instructing the caller to hang up and dial again. What is the California 510 / 341 area code overlay? An overlay is the addition of another area code to the same geographic area as an existing area code. In California, the 341 area code is being added to the area served by the 510 area code to ensure a continuing supply of phone numbers.

City of Richmond 2015 Community Survey -- The Deadline is Approaching and We Need your Feedback One of the best ways to improve Richmond’s services is to ask the people that live here what they think. With this in mind, the City of Richmond is pleased to announce the 2015 Community Survey! During the past few weeks, you may have been notified that you have been selected to give input that will help the City improve the level of government services and the future of your community. Questionnaires were sent to a random sample of 3,000 Richmond residents, asking them to comment on the community’s pressing needs and city services. The purpose of the survey is to help City officials evaluate services, measure resident satisfaction with current services, and to help plan for Richmond’s future. The results from the survey will be included in a final report available to all City officials, staff and residents. If you were selected, please return the survey before the stated deadline. If you know someone that received one, please encourage them to fill it out and return it. Your input can help make the City of Richmond a better place to live, work and play.

These Ospreys are Egg-shausting to Watch When a couple makes an investment in a home, especially one in which they expect to start a family, remodeling and basic upkeep of the structure become a constant effort. Such is certainly the case with Rosie and Richmond, the Port of Richmond’s favorite ospreys, as they stay busy finding various pieces of flotsam with which to adorn their nest, all while incubating their eggs and getting “take out” meals from the water. This week’s decorating addition is a small length of rope that no osprey nest should be without. As previously reported in this weekly report, and thanks to the Golden Gate Audubon Society, the San Francisco Bay area – and the world – can get an astonishing view into the life of an intrepid pair of ospreys that are nesting in Richmond, thanks to the launch of the region’s first live streaming osprey nest camera.
