NBH Commercial FourPlexes to Triple Traffic

Of the many disturbing aspects of the NBH FourPlex & Commercial High-Density Development Plan for K / 45 Intersection (driving down property values, replacing the rural aesthetic with an aesthetic similar to North Oak, etc), one of the most disturbing is the updated traffic study (see attached PDF here).

According to this study, the additional average daily car trips generated by NBH Commercial FourPlexes will be 9,911 for both K Highway and 45 Highway.

Now, let's look at K Highway.

The 2011 MODOT traffic count figured 3,333 cars per day for K Highway / Hampton Road.

Chapel Ridge , if approved by judge, would add an additional 3,669 new traffic trips per day for the surrounding area.

In other words, traffic on K Highway could easily go from around 3,000 car trips a day to over 10,000, if NBH is approved.

Make no mistake about it, K already is a very dangerous highway.  If NBH is approved, human lives will be lost.
