Speaking of people who know best about Urban Development, check out this blog, entitled “Eyesores that need to be replace[d] in the Area.” Maybe they’ll have an idea of where that traffic should go.
UPDATE:
According to the Hillsborough Street Partnership – the group of
interested parties behind Hillsborough’s redesign – “up to 30 percent
of existing traffic using Hillsborough Street as a through fare will
likely use alternate routes such as Western Boulevard.” A
Classic example from the Not-In-My-Backard crowd. Not surprising,
since two of the “partners” in this venture are the University Park
Homeowners Association and the Hillsborough Street Merchants
Association.
