Post your thoughts and comments about this article.
Also at Wednesday’s meeting, the commissioners approved a 14-intersection traffic study for a $5 million expansion at Park City Center.
At that meeting, Tom Smithgall of High Real Estate Group urged a broader traffic study. High hopes to build the “Crossings at Conestoga Creek,” a $100 million open-air shopping center on a 90-acre farm opposite Long’s Park.
Smithgall argued for a traffic study that would include the High project, Park City and other major businesses along Harrisburg Pike. He said that was better than a piecemeal approach if the traffic woes along Harrisburg Pike are to be solved.
The city planners did not feel the expansion at Park City would generate much additional traffic, because it increases floor space by only 4 percent.
"Traffic woes along Harrisburg Pike are to be solved" ??????
City planners ? 60,000 s.f. of retail will not generate "much" additional traffic ?Traffic study ? Who's going to do the study ? Would that be High Traffic Management Associates Co., Inc., PLC, LLC ?
