The new community will have more units than The Cove Apartments does. Won’t that add more cars to West Shore Blvd.?
The proposed community will replace The Cove’s 689 apartments with 750 for-sale residences. While this adds 61 units, the impact on traffic is reduced because for-sale residences generate less traffic than rental units, according to the Institute of Traffic Engineers, Trip Generation, 6th edition, Vol. 1 of 3 (Washington D.C.: IC 1997) and to the local traffic studies. In addition, we expect that some homes will be sold to second- or vacation-home buyers, retirees and empty nesters who may not occupy their homes on a full-time basis and who are less likely to use West Shore at peak traffic times.
