A casino sought by the Narragansett Tribe of Rhode Island will not have a negative impact on traffic, a study by Harrah's Entertainment says.
The study discloses traffic plans and projections for the proposed casino in West Warwick. According to The Providence Journal, the casino would draw 17,100 visits on an average Thursday, 19,000 on a Friday, and 23,180 on a Saturday by 2009.
To accommodate for the traffic, an exclusive highway exit would be built to the casino. Other highway projects would ease congestion, the study says.
The tribe and Harrah's tried get the casino on the November ballot but were rejected by the state Supreme Court. The tribe plans to continue to lobby for a casino.
