Front Avenue To Open This Weekend

Traffic flow near the McEuen Park upgrade downtown will dramatically improve by this weekend. Project coordinators announced Wednesday morning that construction signs detouring traffic around the project site will be removed on Friday morning. By the afternoon, motorists will be able to access Front Avenue off Sherman Avenue from Second Street and also from Third Street. Front will be open to Fourth Street for one-way north-bound traffic. Meantime, diagonal parking on Front Avenue between Sixth and Seventh streets is now open and has been very popular. “People are really liking it; most of the spaces are full,” says architect Dick Stauffer. The McEuen parking structure will partially open next Wednesday (November 27) with about 180 spaces/Keith Erickson, Lake City Development Corporation.

Question: Can hardly wait to ride my bike along Front Avenue/McEuen Park again. How about you?
