Pella seeks traffic fixes after 23 right-turn collisions since Jan 1 1972 on Washington and Oskaloosa Streets. Proposals studied by City officials include eliminating parking on Washington Street to create a four lane road or adding turning lanes with signs and paint. About two thirds of Washington Street parking may be removed plus some side streets. All options require Highway Commission standards and city participation.
