The EIR Final Addendum, February 1989, pages VI.12 through 22, showed that new nonresidential development in the area will create additional commute period vehicular traffic that will travel through, among others, the designated intersections, which are already operating at level of service "E" or worse, or will be so after adding projected traffic from the new development. The city defines congestion as beginning at level of service "E" and considers an increase in traffic under these conditions to be a significant adverse impact. The EIR final addendum showed that specific capacity improvements are necessary to mitigate the demonstrated significant traffic impacts of the new development.
