A public information workshop is scheduled for September 15, where residents can learn about and comment on the proposed enhancements. The SHA is considering a range of measures aimed at improving safety along this corridor.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Among the potential changes under consideration by the SHA is the repurposing of parking on one side of Franklin Street and Washington Street within the downtown area. This modification would aim to create dedicated bicycle lanes. However, the City Council has previously voiced concerns regarding the potential negative effects such a change could have on both local businesses and residents who rely on this parking. The workshop will provide an opportunity for community members to understand these proposals in detail and share their perspectives with the SHA.
The SHA’s study focuses on better accommodating bicycle lanes and pedestrians. Residents are encouraged to attend the workshop to voice their opinions and contribute to the decision-making process for these important local infrastructure changes.
