The Traffic Safety Advisory Board (TSAB) ) sent a letter to the Town Board outlining concerns regarding the South Point project. They believe the traffic study of 2017 is outdated, and should look into expanded peak hours of 6:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Also, the impact of South & North Bridges at peak hours and roads to the I-190 from the Parkway. See letter. The TSAB has a regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, January 14th and representatives of South Point are said to be attending. There is no public comment at this meeting.
