However, a review of potential multimodal impacts has been conducted: <br /> • Project Scope:There are no existing or proposed Complete Streets projects in the vicinity of the <br /> development. As such, no immediate integration or coordination with such projects is anticipated. <br /> • Highway Considerations: Any additional vehicular traffic resulting from the proposed development will utilize <br /> a private road.This limits the impact on public roadways and associated Complete Streets initiatives. <br /> • Bicycle and Pedestrian: Similarly, any increase in bike or pedestrian activity is expected to occur along the <br /> same private road, not affecting existing public infrastructure or planned improvements. <br /> • Transit Access: While no transit infrastructure projects are currently planned in the area,the development <br /> may increase the need for Demand Response and Mobility on Demand (MOD) services to support access to <br /> the proposed office space.This should be monitored as the project evolves to ensure adequate transit <br /> service availability. <br /> Vision Zero <br /> The area surrounding the proposed development site has not experienced any fatal or serious injury crashes based <br /> on available safety data: <br /> • Crash History: A review of recent traffic safety records shows no fatality or serious injury accidents in the <br /> vicinity of the project area.This indicates that current conditions are generally consistent with Vision Zero <br /> goals. <br /> • Mitigation Measures: Given the absence of crash history and the limited impact on public roadways, no <br /> specific safety mitigation measures are recommended at this time. However, continued monitoring of traffic <br /> patterns and safety data is encouraged to maintain a safe environment as development proceeds. <br />
