How will the new building affect traffic around the Civic Center?
There won’t be a significant effect on surrounding streets, because the roughly 140 emergency service employees who currently work at the Civic Center will simply relocate across the street to the new facility. The new facility will have a small amount of space for future expanded services, but any future increase in personnel is expected to be slow and insignificant. One of the residential streets may serve as a second means of egress. However, this residential access street will only be used in situations when Civic Center Drive is blocked or by official vehicles only; the general public and the employees will use the main Civic Center Drive entrance. Therefore, additional traffic in the neighborhood is not anticipated.
