I remember seeing a public presentation by someone in the City that analyzed this very thing years ago (I can't recall where I saw it, might be on Youtube). That said, I don't know if the data is made public.aaaaaallllll the traffic. (as someone living along 155 street, which has 3+ stories along 156street with hundreds of apartments, the traffic is always exaggerated...).
Is there data tracked anywhere that has seen how traffic changes when these projects are completed? I think that's critical to share when future meetings happen and people use the traffic arguments. I understand how the "perception" of a 200 unit project could seem crazy for traffic. But in reality, most of those cars are probably used for 2 "in+out" trips a day and are present in the area for less than 30 seconds. So spread out over the day with a few "peaks" at 8 and 5:30....i can't see it actually creating issues.
Maybe left turns out of areas could be backed up? Anyone have data or first hand experience?
My thoughts are similar. It's not like this is placed in the center of the neighbourhood where vehicle traffic on a lot of streets within will increase substantially--instead rather, it's right on the outer perimeter of the neighbourhood. The only traffic that should really have a noticeable affect on anything is the left turns in and out, no?aaaaaallllll the traffic.

114th and 76th is personally my most used intersection and while it can get pretty clogged, it’s not too bad for most of the year. The issue with the lights is that they’re bad at being smart lmao. Each time a train comes, the cycle always starts with EB traffic, and only one direction goes at once which means if a train triggers the cycle and EB goes, but another comes before WB can go, the cycle starts with EB again. I’ve watched EB go three times while WB and NB left lane on 114th have had to wait. I think if they fixed that light to have the cycle not reset, it would work.aaaaaallllll the traffic.
