Waterfront board signs off on traffic circulation study, urges Ash Street two‑way to 3rd Street
Summary
After reviewing the traffic circulation draft, the board voted to accept the study and forward comments — including a recommendation to keep Ash Street two‑way to 3rd Street and to prioritize wayfinding — to the City Commission.
The Waterfront Advisory Board reviewed the draft traffic circulation study and discussed parking projections, one‑way conversions, emergency access and wayfinding priorities. Members noted the study recommends phased implementation and emphasized coordination with downtown redesign.
One proposal that drew sustained discussion was converting Ash Street to a two‑way alignment extending to 3rd Street to improve access from the south and preserve emergency and event circulation. Several members raised concerns about routing traffic through residential blocks and said any change should preserve resident access; others said shifting to two‑way on Ash to 3rd Street would serve commercial traffic and the marina better.
Following discussion, the board moved to accept the traffic circulation study and forward its comments — explicitly recommending Ash Street be two‑way to 3rd Street — to the City Commission. The motion passed by voice vote.
