§ Disclose potential project impacts to the public and decision makers.
§ Identify ways to avoid or reduce potential environmental impacts.
§ Analyze alternatives to the proposed project.
§ Foster interagency coordination and public review and participation.

Limitations of CEQA
• Unable to Fix Existing Environmental Issues• Only Evaluates Impacts of the Project• Can Only Modify a Project if Significant
Impacts are Discovered

§ No ImpactThe project would not change the environment.
§ Less Than SignificantThe project would not cause any substantial, adverse change in the environment.
§ Less Than Significant With Mitigation IncorporatedThe IS/MND includes mitigation measures that avoid substantial adverse impacts on the environment.
§ Significant and Unavoidable ImpactThe project would cause a substantial adverse effect on the environment, and no feasible mitigation measures are available to reduce the impact to a less than significant level.

Traffic Study AreaBased on the calculated project trip generation and distribution, the following intersections and roadway segments were selected for analysis:Intersections• 1. Santa Carina & Santa Victoria• 2. Santa Cecelia & Santa Victoria• 3. Santa Bartola & Santa VictoriaRoadway Segment• Santa Victoria from Santa Carina to Santa Helena

Results of Traffic Analysis
• The project does not significantly impact any of the study intersections or roadway segment.
• The study intersections and roadway segment, operate acceptably for Existing Year (2018) and Opening Year (2021) with Project scenarios.
• With no significant environmental impacts, there are no mitigation measures.
• The project will accommodate the existing vehicle queue.
