1. Two-way traffic on First
Council approved the conversion of West First Street to a two-way street for its entirety. The last time West First saw two-way traffic was more than 20 years ago. Council members based their decision on the responses of residents and businesses being impacted by the change to a survey posted by city staff on social media. Of the more than 100 responses received, 68% were in favor of the conversion while 32% were not.
The survey also presented three options for how the street might be laid out to accommodate two-way traffic including the cost to implement each. All three options garnered various degrees of support while 30% of respondents favored ideas not presented in the survey.Â
