Citizens are concerned about traffic problems

• A 1,250-unit development will cause bigger traffic nightmares on streets already choked by cars and trucks.
• Traffic studies don’t take into account two new nearby housing projects and the possibility that a proposed train station at Lighthouse Landing won’t be built.
• Parking areas are designated for separate uses – residential, commercial, office.

Scenic Hudson sees some potential solutions

• A smaller development – preferably 750 to 900 units – would reduce traffic woes.
• Studies must be redone to take these factors into consideration.
• Shared parking would encourage a “park and walk” philosophy.

Poorly planned riverfront development could create traffic nightmares.

“If you have to take your kids to a baseball game at 5 o’clock at Washington Irving school – we have friends that leave at 4:15. We’re very concerned about the traffic.”
