This project consists of converting Front and Main Streets to two-way streets. This change would require modifications at the Orange/Front/Main intersection and the Madison/Front intersection to accommodate two-way traffic flow. The change could allow potential diagonal parking on Front Street to enhance adjacent retail and commercial uses on Front. The Downtown Streets Project is intended to: provide a high quality pedestrian environment; improve traffic flow, access and circulation to downtown; provide additional on-street parking; create an inviting streetscape and festival atmosphere; and establish Downtown as a high quality place inviting additional investment in redevelopment. This project would help to "brand" the area by offering a unique look exclusive to the Downtown. The 10 recommendations consist of: 1) North Higgins Streetscape; 2) Two-way Front & Main Street Traffic Flow; 3) New Street & Pedestrian Lights; 4) Diagonal Parking on Front Street; 5) Streetscape Hip Strip; 6) "Blues Alley" Entertainment District; 7) Streetscape Pine Street; 8) Upgrade Traffic Signals; 9) Create Carousel" Gateway" on Front Street; and 10) Additional Streetscaping & Bulb-outs through redevelopment and individual projects.
