Project Limits
Test traffic pattern
- Williamson Street will allow one lane of traffic in both directions, at all times
- On-street parking will remain available at all times on both sides of the street
- A new Thursday parking restriction will be implemented to allow for trash and recycling collection and other maintenance such as brush and leaf collection and street sweeping, which has typically been performed during the peak hour parking restrictions.
- Parking will be restricted further back from intersections to allow thru traffic to bypass left-turning vehicles during peak hours.
