Some thoughts:

- "Most dangerous" might be overstating things and will cause some to stop listening at that point
- Is it standard practice to assume that every housing unit will have two occupants who each will have a car and make five trips per day? That's the only way to get 7,500 daily trips from 750 units. When we were working, my wife and I might have made ten trips per week, less than 15% of your number.
- The work on the road is mentioned as not happening until 2030 but the developments are presented as if they are in place today. Is it not possible that approvals, permitting, and construction of the developments might take a few years such that their completion coincides with the road widening?
