Even with the ful'1 improvement of the alley to the west of the site, the impact of this additional traffic will not be mitigatsd, as the traific from the alley will also utilize Grand AVBriUY. At the present time, the existinq traffic on Grand Avenue has fully saturated the strest. The addition of an additional 28 lamily units to the area, nat to mantion thQ additional traffic which would result Prom guests, visitors and persons providinq serviee to tria project would only serva to make the tzaffic on Grand Avenue ynbearable. Tne traffic problem also sakes difficult the access to the area for emerqency vehicles.
