At last night’s City Council Meeting, Mayor Rick Gray announced a collection of new traffic patterns near the intersection of N Mulberry St and Harrisburg Pike, including a new traffic light and two-way driving on the block of N Mulberry bounded by Harrisburg Pike and W James St.
Beginning next week, Gray announced, measures will be taken to notify motorists of the upcoming changes, including temporary stop signs and flashing lights. The new traffic signal will be activated and two-way traffic will commence on April 30.
This change should relieve some of the chaotic traffic conditions that often accumulate at this intersection, particularly around rush hour when dozens of vehicles backed up on N Mulberry have needed to navigate across the steady traffic on Harrisburg Pike, a significant Downtown artery.
