While Cahill said during a neighborhood traffic meeting last month that there was nothing the city could really do to prevent drivers from cutting through the neighborhoods, City Councilor At-Large Hannah Bowen this week suggested programs that might “take single-occupancy car trips in Ryal Side and downtown off the roads.”
“Whether that’s bike share, whether that’s shuttle trips, whether that’s anything that we’re talking about doing to improve traffic flow downtown on Elliott Street and Ryal Side in any way that could address the pain points in the area,” she said.
