Under the Spring Street 1-way to 2-way conversion alternative, the portion of Spring
Street between East Hollis Street and East Pearl Street would be transitioned from
existing 1-way northbound to 2-way traffic flow. This alternative is illustrated in
Figure 21.

Figure 21: Spring Street Two-way Conversion Alternative
This conversion to two-way flow would be relatively straightforward as the roadway
currently has two travel lanes in addition to on-street parking on the east side of the
street. However, traffic control device modifications would be necessary at Spring
Street/East Pearl Street and Spring Street/East Hollis Street with this alternative.
These traffic control device modifications include the following:
» Removal of one-way street and prohibited turn signage at Spring Street's
intersection with East Pearl Street.
Installation of “Do Not Enter” signs to the Medical Center Drive approach to
informed southbound Spring Street motorists that they are required to turn left
or right at the traffic signal.

Installation of traffic signal heads on the existing southwest corner mast arm pole
at Spring Street’s intersection with East Hollis Street.
