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

Multiple traffic studies have been conducted throughout the Imperial area and for the formerly proposed “Imperial Market” project. An updated Traffic Impact Analysis study will be required as part of this development as is typical with all development projects in the city. That updated traffic study is currently underway and will be considered as part of future approvals for the project.

All TIA's are reviewed by city traffic and engineering staff and help us identify the effect of the proposed development on the City's transportation services including capacity, level of services, and safety.   A Traffic Impact Analysis evaluates and determines what, if any, necessary traffic improvements are warranted and the developer’s share of the improvement costs.
