Title
Discussion and action on making a portion of Thurman Avenue a two-way street
Body
Owners of properties that touch a portion of Thurman Avenue submitted a letter requesting that this portion be changed from one-way back to two-way. The section of Thurman in question is between Second Street and First Street. This section was a two-way street at one time, but was changed to a one-way. City planning staff along with the Street Department looked into the request and visited the site. The lanes would be narrow (approximately 8 - 9 feet), with at least one wooden “telephone” pole near the travel lane, but still adequate according to the Street Department supervisor. The cost of stripping and signage change is estimated to be minimal. It appears that no parking would be lost due to the change.
Planning Commission voted to recommend leaving the street as a one-way street due to the narrow width of the street.
Recommended Action
NECESSARY COUNCIL ACTION: Approve or deny request to change portion into one-way street
