A developer has informed our town planning commission that he would like to build a cluster development across the river from our old town center. The proposal includes a bridge that would be accessed from a leg off the narrow residential street that runs the four or five blocks by our post office, town hall, church, park, and various older houses to the state highway. As far as I can tell, at most times of the day this street is traveled by more bicycles, horses, dogs, cats and small children (usually right down the middle) than cars. I can imagine this will create some problems, and I'm not sure there isn't a better alternative. However, I would like to get an idea how many cars the 64-house project will add to the traffic. Is there a rule, like 2 cars per home? Don't yet know what sort of homes they will be ($125 K? $500K?).
I did try searching for the answer to this question in the forums, and found discussion and links about road capacities (which reminded me again of my ignorance: what is LOS? ADT?). Anyway, thanks!
