Reconfigure Jefferson Street for Two-way Traffic with On-street Parking

Peoria, IL
Reconfigure Jefferson Street for Two-way Traffic with On-street Parking
Description:

Although one way streets can smooth traffic flows, they allow traffic to speed up to the point where the street becomes increasingly hostile to pedestrians. At the same time, the one-way streets make local access within the grid more difficult by requiring more trips around the block to get to any particular destination. Especially in combination with the impact of higher traffic speeds and wide streets on pedestrian comfort, this has been shown in many places to have an unfortunate impact on downtown retail.
