The portion of Union Street under the Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain Bridge is presently marked as one-way to where it intersects with Independent Street. It has not, however, ever been officially designated as one-way. Given the narrowness and low visibility of this portion of Union Street, two-way traffic is potentially dangerous. This ordinance change would bring the Code into line with current practice of treating this street section as one-way.
