City Engineer Maps One Way Plan for Downtown Medicine Hat
City engineer Allan Gunter outlined a proposed one way system for downtown Medicine Hat. The plan would make Third Street eastbound from Fourth Ave to South Rails Way and Second Street southbound from South Railway to Fourth Ave one way, with Fifth and Fourth Streets two way. The committee will study the plan before discussion, with police and fire officials to review. The proposal could boost downtown traffic up to 20 percent and includes relocating bus parking. A long range extension is planned. Crescent Heights and Riverside area changes include new stop signs and through streets, with parking bans continued and new post office recess parking studied for federal approval. A one hour limit is proposed for North Railway near Braemar, and enforcement suggestions were raised.
