There are so many reasons for this but <br />here are a few: <br />Traffic - The traffic at this part of Main Street is terrible as it is. If you add 1000 new cars to the peak times of <br />morning and evening commute it will become impossible. The development calls for only two exits from the <br />proposed parking structure, both on Main Street within 100 feet of each other. The traffic on Main Street <br />backs up in both directions at commute times as it is now. How do you think it will be when you add 1000 cars <br />to the mix? And what about the residents of the proposed apartment building? Their efforts to leave at the <br />same time will cause traffic to be snarled on all levels of the proposed parking structure. By the way, the <br />traffic reports presented at the Planning Commission meeting on January 14th downgraded the parking <br />grade for traffic on Main Street from a current "A" (a grade us residents of Park Santiago dispute) to a "D" <br />during commute hours. How much more do you think that will be impacted by the Main Place Development <br />just a few hundred yards up Main that will include 1900 new apartments? <br />Parking - The proposed parking structure barely accounts for two cars per household. We all know that just <br />about everyone of driving age has a car. Especially the ones who can afford "Luxury" apartments (more on <br />that below). That means that there will be an overflow of additional household cars and "guest" cars. There's <br />f1 <br />
