FAQs

Converting Front and Main back to two-way streets will make downtown easier to navigate, safer, and more comfortable for all users. 

The current one-way configuration forces drivers to make unnecessary turns to reach nearby destinations. This creates unnecessary traffic, confusion, and higher vehicle speeds. Because these streets were originally designed to move traffic quickly, they also lack built-in features that naturally slow vehicles down, which increases safety risks for people walking, rolling, biking, and driving. 

Two-way streets will simplify travel by allowing people to go directly where they need to go, reducing unnecessary circling. They also improve pedestrian safety by eliminating the “double threat” of vehicles approaching from multiple directions at once. In addition, two-way traffic naturally slows vehicles, creating a calmer, more downtown-appropriate street environment Together, these changes will help create a downtown that is safer, easier to get around, and more inviting for residents, visitors, and users of downtown.
