New lane markings recommended for Wells, State Streets

Friday, July 18th, 2008

A Common Council committee this week recommended that Wells and State streets between N. 11th Street and N. 27th Street be repainted to accommodate one traffic lane and one parking lane in each direction.

The off-center lane marking configuration “has created a safety hazard for motorists and pedestrians, especially in winter driving conditions,” according to the resolution endorsed by the Public Works Committee.

State Street from N. Prospect Avenue to N. North Van Buren Street also will be repainted to accommodate one lane of traffic and parking in each direction. Existing lane markings there “also have created confusion and safety hazards during winter driving conditions,” according to the resolution by Ald. Robert Bauman.
