The proposed Coney Island casino, if approved, is projected to generate significant traffic, with an expected 20,000 daily visitors leading to over 5,000 vehicle trips during weekdays. The Environmental Impact Statement indicates that such an influx would overwhelm existing roads and parking facilities. The annual visitor count for Coney Island would increase dramatically from 5 million to an anticipated 13 million. Though approximately 20% of visitors may use the subway, the influx of additional traffic is likely to cause severe congestion, particularly on the Belt Parkway.
The proposed Coney Island casino is expected to bring thousands of cars daily, overwhelming local roads and parking facilities as indicated in the Environmental Impact Statement.
An estimated 20,000 visitors per day to The Coney would generate over 5,000 vehicle trips during weekdays, and additional trips on weekends would further congest nearby roads.
The projected visitor increase from 5 million to 13 million annually implies significant traffic challenges amid existing infrastructure, according to the Environmental Impact Statement.
About 20% of casino visitors would use subway transit, amounting to around 4,000 trips, still contributing heavily to regional congestion.
