If you’ve been hearing about potential 3rd and 5th Ave street changes between Washington and McDowell, you’ve also heard that there are some pretty strong opinions on both sides.

This could be an opportunity to make the city a more bike-friendly place. Or, this could cause even worse traffic tie-ups on streets in downtown.

Regardless, you might want to make certain you get your say.

There will be a public meeting on November 12th from 6pm to 8pm at Burton Barr Library.

Check out this link to see the proposals and a map of the changes.

I remember way, way back when there were not even speed bumps and traffic circles in the Willo neighborhood. It was downright scary! So, you can understand why neighbors in this neighborhood take these street changes very seriously, even though they are north of the planned changes.
