Strongly disagree w/ planned two-way conversions. If anything, expanded and proper one-way converstions would help traffic flow not only for motorists, but for bicyclists & pedestrians (via only needing to look one way for traffic). Suggested conversions:
1. One way couplet for State (WB) and Jefferson (EB) between 3rd & 16th, w/ turns on SB 16th & NB 3rd. This can also move traffic away from St. Luke's and West End
2. Retention & expansion fo 3rd/4th couplet to Julia Davis Park, including extension of 4th between Grove & Front. Could also provide for decorative at 4th south of Myrtle
3. One way couplet of 11th (still NB) and 13th (convert to SB), including all portions between Main & Myrtle. If one street must be two way, then consider using 12th as the couplete, and extend it between Front & Myrtle
Of major concern is left turning traffic onto Front & Myrtle. Two-way streets (such as 3rd, 4th, 11th, and 13th) will make this very difficult as downtown traffic grows
