What traffic?
I live on front street. I watch the 'traffic' go buy all day. I keep looking for the jams everyone is stuck in to happen, but they don't. Waiting for a vehicle to make a turn is not a traffic jam. These are city streets, not highways. There is a distinct different between rude/stupid driving and traffic. I am not aware of any congestion problem being solved by closing a street. I am also unaware of any lack of parking being solved by eliminating parking spaces.

That said, there are changes that could benefit traffic flow thru town without closing streets.
1. Pave the road from the lumber yard up to the round a bout.
2. Traffic going south makes a right at the round a bout all the way to Tropic air all one way.
3. Back street goes south thru the ball field to Tropic air.
4. Pescador drive should go one way north with parking in the east side.
5. People going north never cross people going south.
6. Side streets alternate one way for cross traffic.
7. Front street stays open minus all the north bound traffic on Pescador. People would only go there when they needed to go to the Town Board, the Lion's Den, the tour guided assoc., the library, ,or one of the 2 churches, 3 banks, 12 hotels, 13 bars, 15 restaurants, 61 shops, or 33 multi-unit housing buildings on front street.
Note: I counted all business except bars, restaurants and hotels and housing as shops.
We are talking about disrupting the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of people so you can wait 30sec vs. 45sec to make a left turn.
My plan creates no new choke points and removes the choke point at Xtream Geeks leaving only the one at Tropic which already exists. Only getting Tropic to move their nice new terminal next to Maya and donating enough space for a traffic circle(round a bout) will ease that.
Of course all this depends on SPTB completing step one which will happen shortly after they dredge the back channel enough to open the new terminal.
Next post Taxis.
