Rutledge Street Reconstruction Questionnaire

The design team has come up with a new design option 1C to be presented to the Transportation Commission on January 17, 2024. Since the public meeting Metro has told Engineering and Traffic Engineering about possibly returning to Rutledge in the future. The design option proposes a 28’ street width from face of curb to face of curb, same as option 1A. Street parking on both sides as a traffic calming measure until Metro decides to return. Once Metro returns, the street would operate as it does now with parking on the south side.

The design team will attend and present the project design to the Transporation Commission on January 17, 2024, seeking an option recommendation.
