THE VILLAGE 35 REDEVELOPMENT PLAN.
MIDDLETOWN DESERVES BETTER.
THIS MEETING WILL DECIDE HOW MUCH TIME YOU SPEND ON RT 35 AND ARTERIAL ROADS AFTER THE MALL IS BUILT. IT MAY BE THE LAST TRAFFIC MEETING. PUBLIC OUTCRY IS IMPORTANT. SEE YOUR THERE.

The TRAFFIC COUNTS seen below are an estimate of how much traffic will increase along Route 35 and in OUR NEIGHBORHOODS with the arrival of Village 35, and it does not even specifically include the Wegmans, a destination store. |
Please read the gray box in the Traffic Counts visual. It contains the key to explain the difference in the number of estimated trips before and after the mall is built.
