The City’s Department of Public Works is ready to present revised conceptual designs showing the preferred alternative for converting the downtown loop into two-way traffic. This revised concept is based on public input received at the first workshop in October 2009.
The City is interested in converting the downtown loop to improve vehicular and pedestrian access and flow and to spur economic redevelopment in the downtown core. The City commissioned Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. to conduct a traffic feasibility study for converting the downtown loop, which is currently one-way, into a two-way corridor.
The preferred alternative for converting to two-way traffic will be presented at a public workshop on Thursday, December 10 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Temple Building’s Conference Room, 302 West Main Street, in downtown Durham.
City staff will be on hand to discuss the project, answer questions, and take note of any comments and concerns at this early phase in the project.
All Durham residents and the news media are invited to attend.
