Why would a developer make traffic near his proposed project seem worse than it really is?

Michael Pahre wondered why the company that wants to put a Lowe's in Brighton Landing would submit a traffic report that shows traffic along Market Street that is far worse than anything Pahre, who drives the road, ever sees. He comes up with a possible answer: It would make the big-box store's plan to reduce traffic seem all the better. Lowe's goes before the Brighton Allston Improvement Association tonight.
And yes, this is the same parcel on which New Balance has proposed a mixed-use development.

took me 6 minutes
at about 545 pm tonight to get from BEFORE western ave to PAST washington street...hat to wait at both lights. Traffic was heavy and eve included the typical idiots in the right hand lane cutting you off at Faneuil St.
Their traffic numbers are junk.
