Staff, Engineers to Present Augusta Street Road Diet Results Next Week

City staff, along with traffic engineering consulting firm Stantec, will present the results of the post-implementation traffic study of the Augusta Street road diet.

Thursday, October 13, at 5:30 p.m.
Westminster Presbyterian Church
2310 Augusta Street

There will be a presentation and time for questions from the public.

Beginning in March 2022, the City implemented a road diet along the residential section of Augusta Street, from Augusta Place to Crystal Street. 

Work included restriping the road to convert the existing four-lane section into a three-lane roadway, with one lane in each direction and a two-way left turn lane in the center lane. 

The new lane configuration gives left-turning cars a space to wait without blocking traffic. It also gives vehicles turning left off of side roads a refuge before merging into traffic.
