Downtown stop-sign trial and traffic changes

Scranton

Summary

Members questioned the downtown stop-sign conversion: the test is running while streets are still one-way and construction is ongoing, the ordinance listed 7-10 intersections but the city announced 13, and business owners say they were blindsided about lost parking during the retail season. A caucus with Reilly Associates is set for November.
