Traffic Plan Changes Implemented In City
Police Chief Joseph Grogan announced changes to the city traffic plan on the two one way streets. A divider line now guides turning and through traffic at key intersections including Court Carpenter Court E State Court Washington and Court Union as well as Congress Washington and Union. Arrow lights replace green signals to mark through or turning movements. The two hour no parking zone on the south side of West Union Street between Congress and Court was dropped. two north side spots off Congress remain no parking 3 to 5 pm. Chief Grogan says the system is working but a university return next week will test compliance.
