Transfer Proponents Post 'Traffic Study'

Holbrook-TLA has posted a summary of their traffic study on their web site and surprise, surprise, they believe the transfer station will not have a negative impact on traffic in the surrounding area. According to the "Traffic Facts" section, "The study concluded that the project would not result in a degradation of traffic operations on the surrounding roadway network."
The "Traffic Facts" also state: "Based on the capacity of the proposed Holbrook MSW Facility, the average truckload size, and the operating hours, an average entering volume of 7 trucks per hour was determined. Train service to the site will occur once per day, and while the schedule has not been set, the pickup is expected to occur mid-day. Because the truck traffic destined for the proposed Holbrook MSW facility will have no route restrictions, it was distributed into the traffic stream in accordance with current traffic patterns at the study area intersections."
