Despite Residents’ Protest, Commissioners Approve Extended Stay Hotel
Vehicles would be able to use Atlantic Avenue, which would help to relieve traffic, said architect Kobi Karp, who designed the hotel. The hotel would be “a very low generator of traffic” with 90 percent of traffic entering on Collins Avenue and exiting onto Atlantic, said the project officials. A traffic study revealed there would be double the traffic if an 110,000 square feet office building was placed there, project official said.
