Parallel Parking Proposed for Ada Business District
Frank Lyons, director of the Highway Department, urged Ada to adopt parallel parking along Main Street and Broadway Avenue to improve traffic flow. The council postponed action but will hold a special study session on the Central Business District as they consider safety studies and the 1964 Ada Metropolitan Area Transportation Study findings. Mayor Hudson noted the need for off street parking if angled parking is removed, while Councilman Spears reported merchants largely oppose parallel parking. The proposal aims to create four through lanes, improve traffic signal performance, and guide future downtown growth toward central business development.
