Russell/Callahan/King Intersection
Nearly a decade after first soliciting public input, the City has finished reconfiguring the Russell/Callahan/King intersection. This project was funded primarily to improve pedestrian/bicycle safety, and only incidentally to improve traffic.
Please note the changes in the northbound traffic pattern on Callahan: traffic continuing across to Russell now flows from the right lane rather than the left lane.
