Clairmont Heights Civic Association

The Emory traffic study was conducted at CHCA request in September 2008 to provide a baseline before the new parking deck is constructed at Clairmont Campus (currently on hold until the economy recovers). We do not have permission to publish the entire document but we can share the essential data. Note that the data is derived from manual vehicle counts taken over one weekday in September 2008 while school was in session. They counted the number of vehicles entering or leaving Desmond from and to Clairmont Campus but not the number of vehicles commuting to and from the VA Hospital. See also the county's traffic study done at the request of Desmond residents to see if it qualified for traffic calming. More information on the CHCA MANA Traffic Control Plan is available here.
