How will traffic in the Holdridge neighborhood be affected?
Traffic studies by Spack Consulting and SRF Consulting. UUCM will not create traffic problems for the neighborhood. Two traffic studies done by separate traffic experts show that there will be no traffic problems created by a church with 80 parking spaces at this location. The access to the church will be on the frontage road and church traffic will not use residential streets in either east or west Holdridge. One commonly used database shows that most churches experience a ratio of 0.16 cars per seat in the sanctuary on any given Sunday. That means there would be an average of 40 parking spaces used per Sunday – less impact than shown in the diagram below which assumes 60 to 80 cars per Sunday.
