Most of the improvements on Paul Huff Parkway were made by traffic light timing changes designed to accommodate differences in traffic volumes and directions the corridor experiences each day, said Jimmy Isom, engineering manager for Cleveland Utilities.
“We still have a few tweaks to make to the lights on Paul Huff,” he said.
Isom said the plan for Paul Huff Parkway also includes a nearby stretch of Keith Street, which intersects the parkway and has a number of inherent challenges.
The targeted half mile of Keith Street encompasses a number of shopping centers along its length as well as a junction with Ocoee Street, another major artery in addition to Paul Huff Parkway. The relatively small section of road is regulated by no fewer than six traffic signals.
