\"\"Jamestown (CSi)\u00a0 Jamestown Mayor Katie Andersen says, upcoming public meetings will deal with Downtown Jamestown street improvements, for future development.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday\u2019s Wayne Byers Show on CSi Cable 2 the mayor said, the so-called \u201cRoad Diet,\u201d outlines plans for lane changes on First Avenue, between 10th<\/sup> Street Southeast, to Fifth Street Northwest, and widen the lanes giving travelers more space on the street.<\/p>\n

The proposed plan calls, for eliminating an unwanted driving lane, with three travel lanes northbound, one southbound with a center of the street turning lane.<\/p>\n

She said parallel parking would remain on First Avenue.<\/p>\n

A lane \u00a0widening can aid in the flow of traffic when \u00a0large trucks travel through the \u00a0downtown core.<\/p>\n

She added that the design could include at 5th Street Northwest currently four lanes as it connects Downtown Jamestown with U.S. Highway 281 northbound from Jamestown.<\/p>\n

Adding a bike lane on 5th<\/sup> Street is also possible.<\/p>\n

Mayor Andersen said future public input meetings will be announced to be held this month.<\/p>\n

The project is part of the Jamestown Land Use and Transportation Plan that was approved by the City in 2015.<\/p>\n

In addition to reducing the number of lanes other topics for discussion may include traffic signal changes, adding bike lanes and landscaping the area in addition to installing benches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
