Hello
Someone has probably already thought of this but just in case, here it is.
As an alternative to developing L Street as a one-way thoroughfare, and upsetting some people who don’t want that, here is another option. Use I Street as the one-way route through town for northbound traffic from Samoa to 11th Street. Most of that street
is already commercial and the blocks between 11th and 8th could be developed much the same as H Street has been developed within those same blocks.
K Street could become a one-way for southbound traffic with a bike lane, etc.
At 11th & I Street, the northbound traffic could turn left onto 11th Street (perhaps with a roundabout) and turn right at 11th and K for continuing on towards Alliance as it is now.

This solution would require the least disturbance of the existing, it seems to me. It leaves L Street for development
as a beautifully landscaped area for pedestrians bikes and walkers that could dramatically showcase the new
Gateway District.
A new light would probably be needed at Samoa and I Street, but improvements there are needed anyway, for I
Street is the entry to the Marsh, which could also be showcased appropriately with a new intersection. The State
pays for stoplights, don’t they, since Samoa is a public highway?
I know these things take years to bring about, but it would be a good idea meanwhile to improve the safety at 7th
Street and K where there is no setback of the building on the southeast corner. If the K Street curb there were
painted red for 40’ or so, the 7th Street traffic would have a better chance of seeing oncoming traffic before entering.
It’s an awful intersection as you know.
Let me know what you think.
