A significant ef�or� h�s been spen� a�alyzing �nd reviewing the �raffic cond�tians resulting �rom th� propased develo�ment a�d ulti�ate developrQnt of the Zand �n the area. Th� CiLy is proceeding �rrith th� pttblic hearing on t�ay J.1, 1976 �o consider a pe��tion on the part of �he Schaol Districi. ar�d the operatars af Rosedale Taaver t� open the madian str�p on County Road B praviding full access movemer��s to He;schel Street. This is essential ta tfie use of th� proper�y in qaestion in as much as significan� �raff�c -from Herschel must be accomm�da�ed on County Road B. An ext�nsive iraffic analys�s was conducted by B�Ul, Traff�c Cor�su�tants, rela�ing to the overall traff�c movements and capacity of the stree-t sys�em in th� area.
