Mother. Of. God. Bel Aire Plaza?!? Only the most congested and poorly-designed and highly-utilized parking lot in Napa... Trader Joe's... Whole Foods... Target... OSH... basically every store in Napa is right there. I looked up the permit to see if there's a drawing or location yet... is there any remote area of that parking lot that won't get ICEd regularly? Just looked at Google maps satellite view and maybe the spaces right along Trancas in front of the Target.... Yes it's good that it's off Hwy 29 but this is the last shopping center where I ever thought we would see superchargers.
Except from the Napa Valley Journal:
"Bel Aire Plaza in the city of Napa appears to be the number one location in Napa County that people head to on a typical weekday.
That comes from the soon-to-be released Traffic Behavior Study done for the Napa Valley Transportation Authority. Local public works officials met Thursday for a preview.
“Big data” is how Kevin Johnson of the consulting group Fehr & Peers described the study method that included tracking movements of 736,000 mobile devices. Results reveal a high-tech picture of where traffic goes in the county.
About 353,000 trips take place on an average spring weekday, the study found. The top trip generators are largely the stuff of daily, local life. They are:
- Bel Aire Plaza at 23,000 trips, 7 percent of the total county trips. Seventy-six percent of the trips come from the city of Napa, with an average trip length of 7.3 miles."
