Two-Way Restoration Study

About the Study

The Two-Way Restoration Study evaluated nine of the City's one-way streets for two-way feasibility. Study corridors included the city's primary east-west and north-south road network: Prince, Queen, Duke, Lime, Church, King, Orange, Chestnut and Walnut Streets. Evaluation was based on community feedback, traffic operations analysis, and business and property impacts.

The east-west pair of Orange and King streets has been selected as the most feasible for 2-way travel.
