Thomas-Henry asks about Willets Point transportation study
Thomas-Henry asks if EDC studied transportation access for Willets Point development; Fredrickson says the environmental review likely had a transportation chapter.
Thank you, Councilmember Thomas Henry, followed by De La Rosa.
Thank you, Chair, and apologies if any of these were asked as I'm running in between hearings.
My question is, during the EDC is intricately involved in the Willits Point development from the soccer stadium to the housing, at any point in time was there a study for transportation access to this point given the new population?
Community as well as the stadium.
Thanks for the question, Councilmember Thomas Henry.
I can check on that for you, but I'm assuming as part of the Euler process, there would have been in the environmental study at least a look.
There would have been, I think, a transportation chapter, but I can definitely check on that for you.
Yes, I would love that, and to see what the recommendations were.
Considering what's happening in that corridor.
And since that was originally approved, there is another development in there, Metropolitan Park, that's also bringing increased traffic.
So curious to know if EDC has started to run an analysis of that.
