John Bieberitz, Traffic Analysis & Design, Inc., appeared ready to address any questions, if posed, regarding the traffic impact analysis study report.
Ald. Jonathan Brostoff appeared and testified in support of the development relative to increased density, tax base, housing opportunity, and overall value to the city as a whole despite some neighborhood concerns over congestion, traffic, and obstruction of view among other aspects.
Members inquired about consideration of emergency vehicles, community engagement, east facade vertical design elements on parking structure, parking spaces, and foot traffic.
Ms. Schmidt said that DPW was working on the reconfiguration of Farwell and Prospect streets in consideration of emergency vehicles, loading zones, delivery vehicles, and other traffic aspects.
Ald. Brostoff said that there was a public meeting, personal meetings, and direct conversations with constituents done by himself.
