Apr. 29--A traffic study for the proposed Xanadu project at the Meadowlands will be expanded, the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority announced at its monthly board meeting Wednesday.
Sports authority officials also said they had made progress on proposed rail service at the sports complex.
The decision to expand the traffic study comes out of public hearings the sports authority has been holding this week with Mills/Mack-Cali, a partnership the sports authority chose to build Xanadu, a $1.3 billion redevelopment project at the Continental Arena site.
Those hearings on Xanadu's environmental effects resulted in requests that the sports authority ask Mills/Mack-Cali to include peak morning commuting hours on Routes 3 and 46, among other arteries, in the traffic study, said Carl Goldberg, chairman of the sports authority's board.
The study also will be expanded to include the effect of rail service on the proposed sports, entertainment, and retail complex.
"We understand the need to expand our approach," he said.
