City Council Meeting - Downtown Traffic Study - IMPORTANT
This coming Monday at City Council meeting, council will be making a decision on the circulation study that is currently under way.
One of several proposals/ options is converting Broad Street and Caldwell Street to ONE-WAY pairs. The Downtown Master Plan Advisory Committee unanimously voted and have asked council to REMOVE this option from the study— and focus on more reasonable and do-able options.
It’s to be discussed Monday.
One-way streets would be detrimental to the economic development, walkability, character and sense of place, and to our festivals/ parades/ events and hurtful for our small businesses.
Several downtown businesses will speak to it.
Most of council are against the 1-way pairs.
The Downtown Master Plan Advisory Committee has asked for ACTION now— not after the study is complete. We want resources spent on a realistic option rather pushing for one agenda/option that no one wants.
Please come to the meeting and be there as a show of support.
