The Impact of Closing Streets for

a Parade
Were going to do a quick analysis of the
impact of closing down some strees in
downtown Flintbury for a parade.
Well use the network, shortest path, and
matrix capabilities of TransCAD to compare
the person-hours spent driving in Flintbury
under normal conditions with the personhours spent driving with the parade route
closed.
