Responsible Department: Police Commentary: Highland Court is a narrow one-way street that runs between Highland Avenue and Union Street. The current one-way restriction forces vehicles to travel up hill from Highland Avenue to Union Street. Recently, a resident of Highland Court a nessed concern with the condition of the street during snowstorms. The resident indicated that motensts had difficulty traveling up hill when the street was slippery. Among various suggestions, the resident recommended that the City consider changing the direction of travel so that traffic would move downhill. Both Public Warks and Police support this suggestion. Surveys were sent W the residents of Highland Court as well as those on each corner where Highland Court intersects with Highland Avenue and Union Street Four of the eight surveys were mounted. Two favored the change, one was opposed, and one had no preference. The person who opposed the change cited that cars slowing down on Union Street th make the turn may create a hazard and that snow from street plowing would be deposited in driveways since all of the driveways on Highland Court are on the South Side of the street. Please note that the plow unit that does Highland Court has the ability to push snow on either side of the vehicle, so the later concern can be addressed. This has been reviewed by the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, which recommends approval.
