Traffic Study Presented for Proposed Residential Development on Welsh Road
During a public hearing for the PY application, a traffic impact study for a proposed single-family detached dwelling cluster development was presented. The study, conducted by Traffic Planning and Design, analyzed the impact of 161 residential units (later revised to 162 units) on local roadways, primarily Welsh Road. Recommendations include signalizing the proposed access point on Welsh Road, providing right and left turn lanes, and retiming traffic signals in the corridor. Concerns were raised regarding the emergency access easement, potential property takings for road widening, and the impact on private sewer systems. The study concluded that with the recommended improvements, the development would not adversely impact the health, safety, and welfare of the community in terms of traffic.
