1b: Construction Noise Reduction.
The Project
sponsor shall implement noise reduction measures to reduce noise impacts due to construction. Noise reduction measures include, but are not limited to, the following:
a.
Equipment and trucks used for Project construction shall utilize the best available no
ise control techniques (e.g., improved mufflers, equipment redesign, use of intake silencers, ducts, engine enclosures and acoustically -
attenuating shields or shrouds) wherever feasible.
b.
Except as provided herein, impact tools (e.g., jack hammers, pavem ent
breakers, and rock drills) used for Project construction shall be hydraulically or electrically powered to avoid noise associated with compressed air exhaust from pneumatically powered tools. However, where
use of pneumatic tools is
unavoidable, an exh
aust muffler on the compressed air exhaust shall be used; this muffler can lower noise levels from the exhaust by up to about 10 dBA.
External jackets on the tools themselves shall be used, if such jackets are commercially available, and this could achieve
a reduction of 5 dBA. Quieter
procedures shall be used, such as drills rather than impact equipment, whenever such procedures are available and consistent with construction procedures.
c.
The Project sponsor shall use temporary power poles instead of gene rators
where feasible.
d.
Stationary noise sources shall be located as far from adjacent properties as possible, and they shall be muffled and enclosed within temporary sheds, incorporate insulation barriers, or use other measures as determined by the City
to provide equivalent noise reduction.

be included in the Plan or at the sound board, if correlation to remote receptors can be established. If monit
ored sound levels are in excess of the standard in
the Sound Control Agreement, the sound monitoring technician would contact the Sound Control Liaison (see below) by the manner agreed upon in the Sound Control Agreement. The Sound Control Liaison would th en
have the
operator
reduce noise levels. After this period, the technician would collect subsequent measurements to assess compliance throughout the balance of the concert event. Repeated occurrences of not meeting the response time would lead to future p
ermit denials for the given operator
.
Sound Control Liaison
:
As part of the Sound Control Agreement, the operator
would designate a Sound Control Liaison to respond to notification of sound levels in excess of those established by the Sound Control Agreeme nt. The
Sound Control Liaison would be notified by
the sound monitoring technician by

erwise approved by the City. The building owner or their designee shall submit a Transportation and Parking Demand Management (TDM) Plan for the non
-
ballpark development for review and approval by the City prior to building occupancy. A draft TDM Plan
is included in Draft EIR Appendix TRA. To
ensure implementation of the TDM Plan, the building owners or their designees shall actively participate in a Transportation Management Association (TMA) to be Project sponsor;

established by the Project sponsor prior to occupancy
of the first non

ballpark
building. The TMA at a minimum covers the non
-
ballpark development for the site
but could also cover the ballpark or additional development in Jack London District and potentially downtown
.
The goals of the TDM Plan shall be the
following:
Reduce vehicle traffic and parking demand generated by the Project to achieve
at least a 20% reduction in vehicle trips.
Prioritize pedestrian, bicycle, transit, and carpool/vanpool modes of travel . All
four modes of travel shall be
considered, as appropriate
.
Enhance the City’s transportation system, consistent with City policies and programs
.
The TDM Plan shall include the baseline calculations of non -
ballpark development
vehicle trips. These will be the baseline measurements that
the TDM Plan will be
measured against
.
The TDM Plan shall comply with the requirements of AB 734 (Section 21168.6.7(a)(3)(A)(iii)), which states that the Project must have a TDM Plan that achieves a 20 percent reduction in vehicle trips as compared to o perations absent
the plan. A separate TDM Plan shall be prepared for each building in the non -
ballpark development, unless otherwise approved by the City. The TDM plan for each building shall achieve the 20 percent
reduction within one year after the
compl
etion of that building. The TDM Plan for each building shall include the mandatory measures identified in this measure and additional services and programs designed as necessary to
meet the 20 percent reduction
.
As stated in Table 4 of the City’s
Transport
ation Impact Review Guidelines
, the
following TDM strategies (
Error! Reference source not found.
) are required to
be
incorporated into the TDM Plan based on the project location or other characteristics. These strategies should be identified as a credit toward a project’s VTR
.
The perform
ance venue shall establish a TDM Plan that incorporates traffic management strategies to minimize its traffic impact on neighboring communities, including the Seaport, that may include traffic and/or parking control offices or other personnel acceptable to
the City to manage traffic at key intersections and
railroad crossings
.
Plan Measures for
Vehicle Trip Reduction
:
Before
completion of
Project Phase 1,
unless the physical
improvement is
required as part of a
specific building in
whi
ch case the
improvement must be
completed prior to
occupancy of the
building in question. All
other TDM strategies
shall be implemented
per each building’s
TDM Plan.

The following are the City’s overarching goals for the TMP :
To ensure improvements benefit the community at large and contribute to equitable
opportunities for all people and communities
.
To provide residents, workers, and visitors with safe, efficient, affordable, convenient, and reliable mobility options including public transit, walking, carpooling, and biking
.
To manage how the project i
nteracts with the surrounding area, including
residential neighborhoods, the Port of Oakland, and local industries and businesses
.
The City of Oakland has prioritized walking and public transit as critical to achieving these goals. Transit will have minima
l impacts on community,
neighborhood and Port operations, the environment, and safely move the maximum number of people. The TMP shall have the following high -
level
objectives
:
Minimize auto mode
share to achieve at least a 20% reduction in vehicle trips .
Facilitate and promote safe use of non
-
automobile transportation by people
attending and supporting ball games and other events as well as other uses on -
site
.
Highlight and optimize the use of transit by attendees and employees to ball games and othe
r events
.
Facilitate and maximize bicycle use by attendees and employees to ball games and other events
.
Facilitate a high
-
quality walking experience to the ballpark from adjacent neighborhoods by identifying key walking routes and major street crossin g
locations, so that wayfinding, infrastructure improvements, and/or personnel (e.g. traffic control officers, parking control
officers, or other personnel
acceptable to the City) can be located at critical points to manage the interaction of pedestrians a
nd vehicles during medium and large events
.
Maximize safety for all transportation users at key locations in and around the ballpark and broader neighborhood during event ingress and egress .
Minimize conflicts between ridesourcing, i.e., Lyft, Uber, an d taxi operations and
key transit, walking, biking, and Port truck access streets near the ballpark .

The TMP shall include the baseline calculations of ballpark development vehicle trips as set forth in the EIR, which
would reflect the ballpark at the Project site
absent a TMP. These will be the baseline measurements that the TMP will be
measured against.
A Parking Management Plan for the ballpark shall be one component of the TMP.
But the TMP shall have many other
elements as described below including
modal
strategies addressing transit, pedestrians, bicycles, automobiles, parking, and ridesourcing, i.e., Lyft, Uber, and taxis. The TMP shall address the railroad crossings, event
-
day operations and communication, curb management, freight, and emergency vehicle access. The TMP shall provide the framework for monitoring, refinement, and per
formance standards. Refer to the Draft TMP in
Appendix TRA for more details.
The TMP shall comply with requirements of AB 734 (Section 21168.6.7(a)(3)(A)(iii)), which states that the Project must have a TMP that achieves a 20 percent reduction in vehicle
trips as compared to operations absent
the plan. The TMP for the ballpark development shall
achieve the 20 percent
reduction within one year after the completion of the first baseball season. The TMP shall include
mandatory measures set forth herein and a
menu of additional
measures to meet the 20% reduction,
including permanent infrastructure changes
and operational changes designed to reduce the number of vehicle trips, including temporarily expanding the capacity of bus transit, as appropriate, to serve the
baseball park events, use of traffic and/or parking control officers or other personnel acceptable to the City to manage the flow of people to and from the ballpark, and a range of services and programs
to reduce vehicle trips, including
providing ince
ntives for transit usage and carpools, bicycle parking and support, signage, and real
-
time transit information.
The City identified the following priorities for the TMP that are consistent with the City of Oakland’s Transit First Policy as well as AB 734.

measures like those listed
below
.
Install fencing along both sides of the railroad corridor extending along the Project site’s frontage starting at the Schnitzer Steel boundary and contin uing to
Oak Street
. This change would alter Embarcadero West circulation as follow s:
o
Between Market Street and Schnitzer Steel Embarcadero West would remain two
-
way with a signalized intersection at Market Street
.
o
Between Market Street and Martin
Luther King Jr. Way the street would be
abandoned such that there would no longer be a motor vehicle intersection at Martin Luther King Jr. Way
.
o
Between Jefferson and Webster Streets Embarcadero West on the north side of the active
UPRR
tracks would
rem
ain
as a public street if the fence
line separating the railroad tracks and Embarcadero would be offset from the active track by approximately 10 feet.
o
The portion of Embarcadero that is south of the active UPRR tracks and between Martin Luther King Jr.
Way to
Broadway would be physically
separated from the railroad tracks by a fence
. A multi
-
use path would be
constructed between Martin Luther King Jr. Way and Jefferson Street and between Clay Street and Washington Street (and potentially to Broadway).
T
he multi
-
use path would replace the vehicle street that exists today (emergency vehicles would be accommodated to the extent feasible). The fence line separating the railroad tracks and Embarcadero would be offset from the active track or third track by ap
proximately 10 feet, or the minimum
allowable by UPRR and/or the CPUC. The multi
-
use path would be up to 30
feet wide between the fence and the existing buildings if the fence is offset from the active track. The portion of Embarcadero between Washington S
treet and Broadway and potentially Oak Street could also accommodate a multi
-
use path between the fence and the existing buildings, to the extent feasible, if the existing 12
-
foot wide vehicle lane were combined with the 8
-
foot
wide
sidewalk. The portion o
f Embarcadero between Jefferson and Clay
Streets would remain a vehicle access with sidewalk serving the Vistra Power Plant where bicyclists would share the street with motor vehicle traffic.
The portion of Embarcadero that is south of the active UPR R tracks and
between Broadway and Webster Street would be physically separated from the railroad tracks by a fence. The fence line separating the railroad tracks and Embarcadero would be offset from the active track or third track by Review and approval of

r. Way, Clay Street, Washington Street
,
Broadway
, Franklin Street,
Webster Street, and Oak Street
with
features like
quad gates for motor vehicles
and separate signals and gates for pedestrians and bicyclists. Provide improved pedestrian and bicycle surfac
es at each crossing and clearly defined staging
areas for pedestrians and bicyclists to wait as a train passes by .
Install a traffic signal at the Market Street at
-
grade crossing and its intersection
with Embarcadero West as well as a traffic signal on M
arket Street at 3rd
Street. These signals would be part of the railroad preemption system 6 and
include queue cutter loops
7 on Market Street that would be tied to both traffic
signals to minimize the potential for motor vehicles
to queue across the railroad
tracks. Also, install blankout turn restriction signs for the eastbound right turn and the westbound left turn at 3
rd
Street that are activated during railroad
preemption.
While there is no motor vehicle intersection at the
Martin Luther King Jr. Way
at
-
grade crossing, install a traffic signal at the at
-
grade crossing as well as
traffic signals at 2nd Street where left turns would be prohibited and at 3rd Street where a left

turn lane would be provided to separate left turnin
g and
through movement traffic. These signals would be part of the railroad preemption system and include a queue cutter loop on Martin Luther King Jr.
Way that would be tied to all three traffic signals to minimize the potential for motor vehicles to queu

Street that are activated during railroad preemption
.
The Project sponsor shall be responsible for undertaking the necessary Diagnostic
Study based
, in part,
on the suite of improvements described above and

Pedestrian and Bicycle Overcrossing.
Prior to opening day of the ballpark, Project sponsor shall design and construct a grade

the City and the Port, consultation with the Capital Corridor Joint Powers Authority, and
potentially affected property owners such as the UPRR, shall be located at Jefferson Street (
Figure 4.15
-

Figure 4.15
-

or a
comparable nearby l
ocation and shall create a safe and accessible route for pedestrians and
bicyclists traveling to the Project site on both event and non -
event
days, connecting 2nd
Street, which is north of the railroad tracks, to Athletics’ Way to the south. Pedestrian fac
ilities serving the bridge shall be upgraded on Jefferson and Clay Street
s to correct tripping hazards and daylight intersections and driveways with red curb per City guidance. Along 3
rd
Street between Market Street
and Broadway gaps in the pedestrian netw
ork would be closed by converting
diagonal and perpendicular parking to parallel parking to provide a pedestrian path of travel between buildings and parking where no sidewalk exists today.
The overcrossing could include some combination of stair and elev ator system
potentially with ADA
-
compliant ramping that could also be used by bicycle riders.
The tallest point at the overcrossing would be about 40 feet above grade taking into consideration architecture features of the bridge such as railing and fencing .
The overcrossing could include a viewing space, providing views of the rail corridor, the ballpark, the Inner Harbor of the Estuary, the Oakland Hills, and downtown Oakland, as well as interpretive information celebrating the history of the railroad in O
akland.
If constructed along Jefferson Street, the overcrossing would border the PG&E Station C API, a historical resource, and be immediately adjacent to the National Register
-
eligible PG&E Station C contributor located at 601 Embarcadero West.
Therefore
, to avoid any adverse impacts on 601 Embarcadero West and the API, the design of the pedestrian and bicycle overcrossing along Jefferson Street shall incorporate transparent materials, small
