Analysis Supporting Categorical Exemption 4.13.2 Construction-Generated Vibration Construction-related g round vibration is normally associated with impact equipment, such as pile drivers and jackhammers, and the operation of some heavy-duty construction equipment, such as dozers and trucks.Vibration decreases rapidly with distance and construction activities would occur throughout the Project Site and would not be concentrated at the point closest to sensitive receptors. Thus, due to the temporary nature of construction and linear movement of construction activities, a less than significant impact would occur. 4.13.3 Project Operational Vibration Project operations would not includethe use of any large-scale,stationary equipment that would result in excessive vibration levels;therefore,the Project would not result in ground-borne vibration impacts during operations. For this reason, no impact would occur. 4.14 Population and Housing The Proposed Project would it induce any population growth.No impact to population or housing would occur. 4.15 Public Services The Proposed Project involves the expansion and restriping of an existing roadway. Maintenance of the roadway would not require any increase in public services beyond current levels. Therefore, a less than significant impact on public services would occur. 4.16 Recreation The Proposed Project does not include recreational facilities and would not require construction or expansion of recreational facilities.Additionally,the Proposed Project would not increase local or regional population that would result in any increase in demand for neighborhood or regional parks. No impact on recreation would occur. 4.17 Traffic Proposed Project would alleviate traffic congestion within a bottleneck along Fairview Street. The design would be based on comprehensive inclusion of"Complete Streets" components to better facilitate pedestrian and bicycle access, enhance safety, and increase efficiency. These modifications would especially improve pedestrian and bicycletraffic safetyby reducing the chances of collisions. Further, the roadway improvements would provide a beneficial impact on emergency access by improving through- traffic circulation. Construction of the roadway would result in short-term impacts along Fairview Street. Additional construction vehicle and employee vehicle traffic would be generated during the estimated six (6) month construction period. During this time, vehicles would be directed towards designated detours or lane ECORP Consulting, Inc. 20 January 2025 Fairview Street Widening Project 2024-088.03 9-32
