How will development of this project impact traffic in the area?

A Traffic Impact Analysis study will be required as part of this development as is typical with new developments of this size in the city. That updated traffic study is currently underway and will be considered as part of future approvals for the project.

TIA's help staff identify the effect of the proposed development on the City's transportation services including capacity, level of services, and safety and determines what, if any, necessary traffic improvements are warranted and the developer’s share of the improvement costs.
