Want more two-way streets in downtown Chattanooga?

Love those one-ways?

Either way, the city’s transportation department wants to hear what the public thinks.

A public input meeting is set for Thursday so people can learn more about the usefulness and feasibility of turning more of Chattanooga’s downtown streets into two-ways.

The city’s study arises out of a 2014 report by Chattanooga Forward’s Downtown Task Force. Multiple recommendations came from that report, including increasing workforce housing; refocusing on the public realm; filling downtown office space; protecting and encouraging existing and new development; and enhancing transportation and parking options.
