(see attached Bicycle Plan) 2) List or describe any other related permits and other public approvals required for this project, including those required by city, regional, state, and federal agencies: Once the environmental review is competed, this Project will require additional approval from the Municipal Transportation Agency s Board and the Board of Supervisors. 3) Would the proposed project displace any existing housing or business use? If so, please describe. No existing housing or business use would be displaced from this project. 4) Is the proposed project related to a larger project, a series of projects, or any anticipated incremental development? If so, please describe. The Bicycle Plan Projects includes numerous individual bicycle improvement projects throughout the City, All these projects will be along the public ROW. 5) Would the proposed project change the pattern, scale or character of the general area of the project? If so, please describe. The intent of the Bicycle Plan Projects is to guide the City with a plan to become more bikeable. 6) Would the proposed project exceed any of the thresholds specified in the Transportation Impact Analysis Guidelines for Environmental Review? If so, please describe. You may request a determination of whether your proposed project requires a Transportation Study by the Department's Transportation Section (contact Bill Wycko at 415-558-5972). If a Transportation Study is required, two separate fees are necessary to cover Planning Department management and review of consultant-prepared transportation studies: 1) check payable to the San Francisco Planning Department (see EE Application Fee Schedule) and 2) check payable to Department of Parking and Traffic for $400.00 A Transportation Study is envisioned for this project. The Planning Dept s Bill Wycko has been notified. SFMTA (DPT) is discussing the applicability of fees, fee waivers, or the ability to work order funds with the Planning Department. 7) Are any designated landmarks or rated historic buildings on the project site, or is the site within a historic district? If so, please describe. This Project is a City wide project, with all of the work generally occurring within the Public ROW. 8) Would the proposed project exceed 40 feet in height as defined by the Planning Code (via new construction or additions)? If so, please explain and submit a Shadow Study Application at the Planning Information Counter at 1660 Mission Street. No, not applicable. 9) Would the proposed project change the scenic views or vistas from existing residential areas or public lands, or roads? If so, please describe.

Please also submit a Tree Disclosure Statement as part of the environmental application submittal. The form is available at the Planning Information Counter at 1660 Mission Street. No, not applicable. 11) Is the site on filled land? Is the grade of the project site: (a) level or only slightly sloped, or (b) steeply sloped? Please explain and, if steeply sloped, provide a geotechnical or soils report. This Project is a City wide project, with most of the work occurring within the Public ROW. 12) To your knowledge have any hazardous materials, including toxic substances, flammables, or explosives, ever been present on the site? If so, please attach a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment or hazardous material technical report and any additional related reports that are available. No. This Project is a City wide project, with most of the work occurring within the Public ROW. 13) Would construction of the proposed project involve any soils-disturbing activities? If so, please describe, including depth of any excavation and cubic yards of any soil to be removed, and type of foundation system proposed for the project. No. This Project is a City wide project, with most of the work occurring within the Public ROW. Major excavation is not planned. Minor excavation may be required within the Public ROW for the installation of removal of traffic islands. 14) Would the proposed project change any existing features of any bays, tidelands, beaches, or hills, or substantially alter ground contours? No. This Project is a City wide project, with most of the work occurring within the Public ROW. 15) Would the proposed project substantially change the demand for municipal services (police, fire, water, sewage, etc.) or produce significant amounts of solid waste or litter?

If so, please explain. 20)

No. This Project is a City wide project, with most of the work occurring within the Public ROW. 21) Would the proposed project substantially increase fossil fuel consumption (electricity, oil, natural gas, etc.)? If so, please explain. No, if any change did occur it would be a reduction of fossil fuel consumption. PRIORITY GENERAL PLAN POLICIES Proposition M was adopted by the voters on November 4, 1986. It requires the City to find that proposed projects and demolitions are consistent with the eight priority policies set forth in Section 101.1 of the City Planning Code. The eight policies are listed below. Please state how the project is consistent or inconsistent with each policy as it relates to the physical environmental issues. Each statement should refer to specific circumstances or conditions applicable to the property. Each policy must have a response. If not applicable to your project, explain why. Attach separate sheets if needed. Since this project is city wide, with most of the work occurring within the Public ROW, it is difficult to conceive how the Bicycle Plan Projects relates to the following questions. 1) That existing neighborhood-serving retail uses be preserved and enhanced and future opportunities for resident employment in and ownership of such businesses enhanced; A recent study along Valencia Street demonstrated that businesses improved along a corridor with the addition of bicycle lanes. 2) That existing housing and neighborhood character be conserved and protected in order to preserve the cultural and economic diversity of our neighborhoods Bicycle lanes aid in traffic calming neighborhood streets, adding to and conserving the character of San Francisco neighborhoods. 3) That the City's supply of affordable housing be preserved and enhanced; Not applicable. The Project does not intend to affect the housing stock of the City, nor property outside of the public ROW. 4) That commuter traffic not impede Muni transit service or overburden our streets or neighborhood parking; MTA balances the transportation modes of San Francisco, including Muni and the City s parking and traffic. 5) That a diverse economic base be maintained by protecting our industrial and service sectors from displacement due to commercial office development, and that future opportunities for resident employment and ownership in these sectors be enhanced; Not applicable. The Project does not intend to affect the industrial or commercial properties, nor property outside of the public ROW. 6) That the City achieve the greatest possible preparedness to protect against injury and loss of life in an earthquake;

An improved bicycle network will assist the City in times for crisis. San Francisco has already developed bicycle response teams since in a catastrophic incident, bicycles may very well be the primary transportation mode in the City. 7) That landmarks and historic buildings be preserved; and Not applicable. The Project does not intend to affect the property outside of the public ROW. 8) That our parks and open space and their access to sunlight and vistas be protected from development. An improved bicycle network will assist City residents and its visitors to access the many vistas within our parks and open spaces. Development is not proposed within a park or open space with this project.
