Resolution 3528 - Laserfiche WebLink

• At 40 passengers per bus, about 10 public service coaches will be needed to accommo- date transit demand for the Expansion. Boeing will purchase 10 new buses regardless of cost. Current estimate is $2.4 million for 10 buses. • Both vans and coaches will be purchased when demand dictates, as determined by the Responsible Official with recommendations of the Mitigation Committee. • The Decision Document specifies "40 passenger" coaches when "40 foot" coaches was intended. Average vehicle load should remain 40 passengers for calculation purposes even though 40 foot coaches can seat over 50 passengers and carry more than 50 under crush load conditions. Conclusions: • The number and delivery of coaches and vans as specified in the Decision Document is related to the Expansion only and represents a fair and accurate mitigation assessment, based on the record of this proceeding. • The number of required vans and buses will be purchased by Boeing regardless of cost. • The Document erred in specifying 40 "passenger" coaches and should be amended to read 40 "foot" coaches. • The record does not support a requirement for additional buses or vans to effectively mitigate the project impacts. Decision: Deny the appeal and affirm the Decision Document with regard to the number of required buses and vans, except change Condition VI.C.2 to reflect that the buses are to be standard 40 foot models rather than 40 "passenger" models. SECTION 39: MITIGATION FOR MUKILTEO NEIGHBORHOODS Findings: • Traffic volumes in Snohomish County will increase as a result of the Expansion and the growth in general, particularly on primary routes and arterials. • Traffic impacts due to the Expansion are addressed in the mitigation measures to minimize these impacts. 54
