NE 8NE 8thth and NE 10 and NE 10thth Avenues Avenues ConsiderationsConsiderationsOptions to conversion from one way
to two way traffic- Install speed tables on each avenue to
slow traffic- Eliminate the NB thru movement from the
10th Ave. signal to reduce cut thru traffic- Eliminate the SB and NB left turns at 8th
Ave. leaving only the WB left for Sage plaza or eliminate the signal all together
