I cant imagine it's much denser, if at all, than single family homes.  The main benefit is that each of these units doesn't require street frontage

Are you sure?  Not requiring street frontage increases density because you don't need the road.

But beyond that, you have less parking (because most SFHs have a garage) as well as far smaller back and front yards.  I suspect this is quite a bit denser than average SFH zones.

As for the bike route, yes, there are probably some back ways to cut out much of the unpleasant roads, but I've biked over the Lancaster bridge, it isn't he worst bridge, but I'll still take the bus instead of biking it, and a friend of mine who bikes to work, chooses to walk his bike on the sidewalk instead of riding over the bridge.

Obviously people's tolerances differ, but I think for the majority it will be a non-starter.

I just mean in this particular property, given the number of SFHs you could build along Bridge st, I think it would be less than the number of units included here.  I'm not saying the density is good, I just think it's more than a SFH situation.
