Work Street bridge replacement traffic impacts
The WYDOT Work Street bridge replacement starts next week, with months of changed traffic patterns through July. Council Member Brantz raised resident concerns about backups if drivers shift to Park Street, and staff agreed to evaluate a possible no-left-turn restriction there.
Traffic concerns at Brundage Avenue and Sheridan Avenue
Resident Thomas Jones asked the council to consider a four-way stop at Brundage and Sheridan Avenue near the M&M Center, saying the approved Scott Street stop will just push more traffic onto Sheridan Avenue. Staff will review traffic counts and accident data.
WYDOT Acceptance of East 5th Street
Trucks keep jumping the curb at Fifth and Main because the corner radius is too tight. The city is fixing that corner now, redesigning Fifth and Val Vista next, and planning a bridge deck replacement next summer that will detour truck traffic.
