Monroe City Council has narrowly agreed to move forward with a partial conversion of Cass and Harrison Streets, despite loud and persistent outcry from residents who believe the project is dangerous and unnecessary.
Council voted 4-3 Monday to approve the conversion of Cass and Harrison to two-way traffic from Fourth Street to First Street, a departure from the initial plan to convert almost the entirety of both streets from their current, one-way configurations.
Mayor Robert Clark, Councilwomen Kellie Vining and Paula Whitman, and Councilman John Iacoangeli voted for the conversion, while Councilwoman Michelle Germani and Councilmen Andrew Felder and Brian Lamour voted against it.
