Lanier Plaza redevelopment poses traffic problems
Placeholder Image
If the Lanier Plaza shopping center on Thompson Bridge Road is redeveloped as proposed into a 42,000-square-foot grocery store and accompanying 12-pump fueling station, it will generate 6,627 daily two-way trips down the Gainesville thoroughfare, according to a traffic study performed in late March. The increased traffic associated with the redevelopment also includes 143 new two-way trips during the peak morning rush hour and 310 new two-way trips during the evening rush hour. But city planning staff appears to have hedged its bets on whether this impact is problematic.
