- Change Spring and Cannon streets to two-way traffic from one-way while losing minimal
parking places. We’ve been told approximately 28 spaces will be lost.
- Improve sidewalks and Spring and Cannon Streets with regard to pedestrian traffic
- Install more attractive traffic signals (Similar to King and Meeting St)
- Install pedestrian crosswalks and lights at intersections
- Plant new trees
- Reduce the flow and speed of commuter traffic into our neighborhood, which has been
proven to improve safety
- Create pedestrian walkways to connect Cannon and Spring Streets with Lockwood Drive
and Brittlebank Park. This may come later. We’ll find out at the City’s presentation on Feb
26th.
- Create new green space and park space in between the two lanes of the cross-town near
