MVHS SEQR Traffic Forensics
This page attempts to layout the traffic/transportaion elements as they relate to the Mohawk Valley Health System (MVHS) SEQR. At the end, we offer links to the rendering of their "super-block" hospital we hope to relocate.
Introduction
First, here are coordinates of the "front door” to proposed hospital, a Google map link: 333 Lafayette Street, Utica, NY 13502
(1) MAP A - Neighborhood Today, as provided in SEQR. Here's a view that our group likes, the Columbia Lafayette Neighborhood (CoLa), and this view shows the Building Densisty we hope to preserve. Also (but not critical now), are more details of the Existing CoLa Neighborhood buildings and streets.
(2) MAP B - Proposed Hospital Concept
(3) MAP C -Hospital Parking Schematic
Our group's main index to all SEQR process documents and links: MVHS SEQR
Consider: Looking at the traffic flows in the study, a Majority Of Traffic to proposed downtown site would flow-in from the South! #Utica #Traffic #Arterial #Hospital #MVHS #Flooding.

Nexus Center
(6) Nexus Center - The traffic study in the DEIS did not account for the Nexus Center, stated "project was speculative”. Now the Nexus Center is funded and we've solid evidence they will break ground this fall.
Nexus and the AUD are exactly opposite to the north of the hospital and parking garage footprints. Nexus will closes-off a side street, building on top of it, immediately to the east of AUD…

Proposed Hospital Renderings
(7) Hospital To Relocate - Here are the out-of-scale downtown hospital renderings, a concept we hope to relocate...
