A vehicle travels on Frazier Avenue as a cyclist turns from the sidewalk onto the Walnut Street Bridge. A transportation design firm suggested the city temporarily stripe Frazier Avenue before going through with proposed bike lanes that would reduce the road to two lanes and a turn lane, but not even the test will be followed up on based on the number of concerns from area residents and businesses.
UPDATE: A bomb squad investigated the package and rendered the package safe, according to a release from the police department.

The Walnut Street Bridge has been closed temporarily as officers with the Chattanooga Police Department respond to a report a report of a "suspicious package."
The call came into dispatch shortly after 2 p.m. and authorities quickly descended on the north end of the bridge at Frazier Avenue. A CPD spokesman could not immediately give details about the package or why it appeared suspicious.
