I was referring to traffic impact studies. And the statement I made referenced traffic mitigation. The key words were "often the case". Without actually seeing said study in Colony Plaza situation, we have no idea what traffic plan the Engineering group originally offered in the study, whether the Developer approved it, and whether the Town or County did a thorough review. Ultimately, if we are assessing blame, it would have been up to the Town or County to pick up any deficiencies in the study, and make alternate recommendations. If that intersection is now part of the County road system, we should be getting money from them for the signal.
