APPENDIX K Surface Traffic THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK K: Surface Traffic This appendix provides an overview of existing surface traffic conditions in the vicinity of the Bob Hope “Hollywood Burbank” Airport, the methodology for analyzing the impacts associated with the implementation of the proposed replacement passenger terminal, and identification of the changes in surface traffic as a result of the implementation of the proposed replacement passenger terminal. K.1 EXISTING SURFACE TRAFFIC NETWORK The General Study Area was chosen to include all facilities that could experience a change in surface traffic as a result of the Proposed Action. It was established in consultation with the FAA, the Airport Authority, the City of Burbank, Caltrans, and the general public through the public scoping process. The identification of the General Study Area took into account Airport surface traffic patterns, project trip generation estimates, and the existing operations of nearby intersections and corridors. The General Study Area encompasses an area that is approximately 4.25 miles east-west by 3.5 miles north-south. It is generally bounded by State Route 170 (SR 170) to the west, Interstate 5 (I-5) to the east, I-5 and San Fernando Road to the north, and Magnolia Boulevard to the south. The majority of the General Study Area is located within the boundaries of the city of Burbank, and the remainder lies within the city of Los Angeles. Roadway System The General Study Area has a dense network of regional and local roadways that provide access to the Airport and circulation in the surrounding areas. The Burbank2035 General Plan classifies roadways as major arterials, secondary arterials, collectors, and local streets. » Major Arterials: Major arterials are regional transportation corridors that are bounded by commercial and multifamily development. These corridors provide access to all transit modes, with the focus on regional transit and auto traffic. Pedestrian connections provide access from land uses to transit connections. » Secondary Arterials: Secondary arterials are streets that serve local cross- town traffic and may also serve regional traffic. These streets provide access to local transit. Pedestrian connections are designed to encourage multipurpose trips. » Collectors: Collectors are streets that provide access between local streets and arterials or that provide arterial street crossings for bicyclists, pedestrians, and equestrians. Bob Hope “Hollywood Burbank” Airport K-1 Proposed Replacement Terminal Project Draft EIS » Local Streets: Local streets are residential or commercial streets that provide direct access to adjacent land uses. Mobility Plan 2035: An Element of the General Plan classifies roadways as boulevards, avenues, collectors, and local streets. » Boulevards: Boulevards are arterial streets that serve through-traffic as well as provide access to major commercial activity centers. They represent the widest streets that typically provide regional access to major destinations. They include two categories: o Boulevard I provides up to four travel lanes in each direction, with a target operating speed of 40 miles per hour (mph) o Boulevard II provides up to three travel lanes in each direction, with a target operating speed of 35 mph » Avenues: Avenues are also arterial streets that serve through-traffic and provide access to major commercial activity centers. They typically traverse both residential and commercial areas and include three categories: o Avenue I provides up to two travel lanes in each direction, with a target operating speed of 35 mph o Avenue II provides up to two travel lanes in each direction, with a target operating speed of 30 mph o Avenue III provides up to two travel lanes in each direction, with a target operating speed of 25 mph » Collectors: Collector streets are generally located in residential neighborhoods and provide access for local traffic to and from arterial streets. Collector streets are not intended for cut-through traffic. They provide one travel lane in each direction, with a target operating speed of 25 mph. » Local Streets: Local streets are intended to accommodate lower volumes of vehicle traffic, and parking is typically available on both sides of the street. Local streets provide one travel lane in each direction, with a target operating speed of 15 to 20 mph. Continuous local streets connect to other streets at both ends, while non-continuous local streets lead to a dead-end. Table K-1 summarizes the characteristics of each of the streets in the General Study Area evaluated for this EIS.

Bob Hope “Hollywood Burbank” Airport K-8 Proposed Replacement Terminal Project Draft EIS The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) operates the freeways that serve regional transportation needs. The following two freeways pass through the General Study Area: » Interstate 5: Interstate 5 (I-5) is an interstate freeway that runs in a northwest-southeast direction approximately 0.7-mile northeast of the Airport. To the north, I-5 travels to Santa Clarita and beyond, and to the south travels to Glendale, downtown Los Angeles, Orange County, and beyond.
