It is NOT a major thorofare.
People FLY down Maplewood and hit that turn onto Scott and barely avoid accidents on a daily basis.
It really should have limited traffic access. Especially with all of the stuff going on in the old PNC bank area.
Allowing parking on both sides of the street would be okay, I wouldn't want to limit the parking there.
Just my 3 cents worth. |
Seems that the Maplewood contingent (assuming they really ARE Maplewood residents since they have never actually divulged their identities) wants life to return to the horse-and-buggy days. They so far have been adamantly opposed to rational suggestions that have been offered on this thread (and elsewhere) to reduce the commuter and teenager traffic that tears down their street to avoid the 25MPH limit and decoy police cruiser on the main drag. They just want to roll back the clock to a simpler time (albeit one where PNC allowed them to drop off their cars because they've expanded their homes into now-nonexistent driveways). Face it, folks, Maplewood IS a back street; with or without this house that everyone is talking about but nobody has seen and with or without the multiple bank teller lanes causing frequent fender benders by Xanax-addled soccer moms not knowing which way to turn.
Remember The Music Man? Remember "Pick-a-Little, Talk-a-Little"? That's you, girls.
This thread has become boring. It's time to rip the Blue Rooster a new one. Somebody told me that they are really Taliban in disguise (good disguise, too, considering the quality of their food) and part of the Grand Conspiracy. |

| Just make Scott to Maplewood northbound one way and be done with this thread. Then put speed bumps out and everyone will be happy. |

BTW, let's just imagine for a minute that the Maplewood residents get one of their demands and they add back in access to the parking lot between the office building and the new house. Why do they asusme it will get much use or divert much traffic from Mapplewood? No matter what it will not be the wide 3-4 lanes in/out it is now because there will be a house there. So what you will have is a very narrow access sheltered between two large buildings, whereas there will continue to be (as there always has been) a nice wide access option in the rear at Maplewood.
Now if the majority of traffic were going to be visitors to the small bike shop or Sweetwater Construction I could see this getting a fair amount of use. But the vast majority of daily car traffic is actually going to be Sweetwater employees and contractors (and possibly, ironically, Maplewood home residents and visitors who will have access to the lot). And it is very unlikley either of these groups would regularly use the Main Street access when there is a far more accessible, open access from Maplewood. It just isn't logical. They would have to navigate the long basically canyon path then wait out the heavier Main Street traffic to turn. And it is less convenient to Route 130 than Maplewood directly.
So the only way Main Street access as conceived would end up significantly altering Maplewood traffic flow is if they somehow force people to use the Main Street access by making entrace or exit one way on both sides, something far more restrictive than it has even been even in its previous uses. |
