ITEM 5.A.
Council Action: 1/25/2021
Description

An ordinance to amend Title 9-Traffic by amending Chapter 9.64 – One-Way Streets, Section 9.64.010 “Designated” of the 2020 Municipal Code.

 

 

 

Background/Discussion

The city’s one-way street designations were last updated in 1997 and a few of the streets have been converted to two-way streets in recent years.

 

 

Avenue A, between North 16th Street and North 36th Street, was converted to a two-way street, at the beginning of the West Broadway Reconstruction project.  By allowing two-way traffic, access was improved to businesses during construction and thru traffic was diverted onto Avenue A to reduce vehicle volumes on West Broadway during construction.  Avenue A between North 36th Street and North 37th Street will remain one-way.

 

 

Baughn Street, between Kanesville Boulevard and Harmony Street, was converted to a two-way street after the reconstruction of Harmony Street and Baughn Street in coordination with the YMCA construction project.  

 

 

The description for the one-way segment of Dodge Riverside Drive was updated for clarity.

 

 

The proposed changes to Title 9 will update the one-way street designations to reflect actual conditions.

 
Recommendation

Approval of this Ordinance.
