B. Based on the information contained in the above reports, evaluate the potential traffic concerns resulting from the extension of a road across the Sweetwater channel in each of the following conditions: 1. A connection to a future extension of Harrison Street from the 24th Street/I-5 interchange area. 2. A direct extension of Tidelands Avenue, in it's present alignment in National City, as a four -lane crossing. 3. The street crossing utilizing the existing railroad crossing as a shared bridge. - 1 - 4. Access directly from the proposed Route 54/Interstate 5 freeway interchange. 5. Assuming no crossing is implemented.
