A private housing development scheduled to open for occupancy next month near the Red Bank-Chattanooga border could add hundreds more vehicles to traffic that already backs up both ways on Dayton Boulevard during peak periods.

The developer of CityGreen at NorthShore and traffic planners in Chattanooga said they don’t anticipate that the additional traffic will have a significant impact. But some motorists familiar with the backups think otherwise.

“It’s going to be pretty awful because there’s one way in, one way out,” said Aaron Ayers, 23, a Chattanooga resident who travels the route. “And it’s all dumping onto a road that’s already jammed to hell and back.”

CityGreen at NorthShore will be a 282-unit complex at the intersection of Signal Mountain Boulevard and Dayton Boulevard, Red Bank’s main thoroughfare. The development is scheduled to admit its first 40 tenants in April.
