Question 1

What is your definition of acceptable service level when more traffic is forced through the boro? Your definition will be very different from the people who live in the boro. Maple is a busy road now and intersections are already backed up every rush hour.

When talking about the level of service that just means how much delay there is. The delay is expected to increase by one second, but the traffic at the intersection is not projected to increase more like the traffic is being redistributed. With slightly more traffic on 413 and slightly less on 213. Additionally, acceptable levels of service are defined in PennDOT publications, so that they are consistent across the state.
