RESPONSE TO COMMENTS ON THE DEIS<br />
B o u l d e r B a y C o m m u n i t y E n h a n c e m e n t P r o g r a m P r o j e c t E I S<br />
Comment 337-l: Comment Summary - If long westbound queues still form on Sundays due to the<br />
pedestrian crossing, discuss this in DEIS and provide solutions. Reducing<br />
skew/length of crosswalk could reduce green time required for pedestrians.<br />
The traffic analysis was performed for the Friday PM peak hour during the summer<br />
season, which is considered the peak traffic period for Lake <strong>Tahoe</strong>. Sunday queues<br />
have reduced in recent years. Queues will be monitored and if necessary, signal<br />
timing will be modified.<br />
Comment 337-m: Comment Summary - Page 4.8-67 states Alternative C results in a significant<br />
Stateline Road intersection impact, but no mitigation is provided. The Alt. E<br />
mitigation on page 4.8-52 would address impact from Alt. C.<br />
The SR 28/Stateline Road intersection will operate at LOS A for the overall<br />
intersection, and LOS C for the worst movement with Alternative C, as shown in<br />
Table 4.8-20 of the DEIS. The level of service threshold for this project requires that<br />
intersections operate at LOS D or better, therefore there is not a significant impact at<br />
the SR 28/Stateline Road intersection under Existing plus Alternative C conditions.<br />
Comment 337-n: Comment Summary - Comments provided on NOP regarding runoff and traffic are<br />
attached, as well as background materials on the drainage issues.<br />
Comments submitted on the NOP are part of the Project Record and are included in<br />

county standards. Please refer to Chapter 4 (Environmental Analysis) for a detailed<br />
discussion of impacts.<br />
Comment 338-d: Comment Summary - Impact on TRPA designated Sensitive Stream Areas.<br />
No TRPA delineated stream environment zones (SEZs) are mapped within the<br />
project area.<br />
Comment 338-e: Comment Summary - Estimate of additional usage of Speedboat Beach: a. Potential<br />
for environmental degradation; b. Additional traffic and parking required; c. Impact<br />
of required upgraded services and facilities; d. Survey to determine the presence of<br />
endangered species the impact of additional usage<br />
Additional use of Speedboat Beach will affect the quality of the recreational<br />
experience at this beach. Additional traffic and parking are not issues as this beach is<br />
