Shold allow all three lanes the ability to turn right form 6th to Front. People are dangerously doing it already and this is the most backed up intersection between 4:30 and 6:00 each work day.

This street can be hectic already as a one-way. Please do not change to two-way!

Two way trafffic will make this important bike route more dangerous as cars turn in front of bikes.

Two way auto traffic will create backups all along Sixth every time a car tries to turn left across traffic.

Two way car traffic on 5th will cause jams at every intersection that allows left turns.

Adding two way traffic will make this difficult intersection even more complicated to navigate safely by car, foot or bike.

Parking Is already bad here and 2 way might be less safe for pedestrians.

I feel the 5th--5th conversion should not happen. I like the ease and spacing is easier flow for traffic. I think Two way would bunch up in the very downtown area.

This is a really bad intersection for bicycles when riding on the road. Making 5th street two way will make it worse. Much of the problem is the time for the light to cycle makes me too impatient (thus it is really my problem).

The intersection of Grove and 6th is heavily used by pedestrians. Having two-way traffic here will decrease pedestrian and bicycle safety as more cars will be making difficult left-turns(often times blind turns) onto Grove Street. Traffic will be queued along 6th Street due to these stopped left-turning vehicles. This will increase aggressive driving.

Consider removal of NW pedestrian crossing similar to Capitol & Front. Right turning traffic from 6th to Front is heavily impacted during PM commute. Current timing provides approx 25 sec of green for southbound traffic, often up to 2/3 of which is impeded pedestrian traffic.

Loading and unloading in this zone often causes issues for traffic flow. It makes it more difficult to navigate when you can't tell what is parked and what is trying to move.

Turning left (south) from Washington onto 6th will be very difficult due to only lane being used by Second State Parking Garage and VA traffic.

No addition of a signla at this intersection. With large apartment complex, vehicles turning left onto Myrtle will be partially blocked
