How will Warrensville Center Road handle so much traffic?






As these pictures demonstrate, Warrensville Center Road is currently underused. Traffic on that road peaked around 1970, when the population of the area also peaked. Independent studies have shown that Oakwood Commons will, at most, bring traffic back to 1985 levels.

Some noisy people have complained that the increase of traffic will increase accidents, one even going so far as to bellow that Mitchell Schneider would have "blood on his hands" if someone was killed. But the fact is that people tend to speed on underused roads like Warrensville Center currently is.

Have I mentioned that First Interstate will pay for ALL improvements on this road, including a new traffic signal and sidewalk?

By the way, Taylor Road in Cleveland Heights is being narrowed due to under-utilization.
