Other than morning rush hour (due to one way traffic in alley and on Queensbury Road, there is no real traffic problem. NS-6 would require taking property from private citizens. it would also increase traffic for those citizens. Don't do it.
a roundabout is a perfect solution.
If the City accepts this plan with the NS6 (continuation of Oliver Street) it will require the City or developer to take my driveway and garage and part of my neighbors yard. Immediately our property values will go down as with the mere inclusion of this in the plan we will be required to inform any potential buyers of this. Hoping the council will ask the company providing the proposal to rethink this area.
Right now it can be very difficult to get onto Hamilton during rush hour, and when turning off of Hamilton one may block other traffic for some time causing further traffic congestion. As part of the larger plan for a "complete street," a middle turn lane, or some other mechanism to address this need, would be very helpful.
