The east/west portion of Park Street from Main Street to Court Street and the
north/south portion of Court Street from Temple Street to Park Street would be
transitioned from existing one-way westbound and northbound, respectively to two-
way traffic flow under the Park Street and Court Street 2-way conversion alternative.
This alternative is illustrated in Figure 22.
Note that the proximity of Pearson Avenue to Park Street, particularly in relation to
the two streets connections to Main Street, lead to Pearson Avenue and its connecting
street to be included into the discussion of the Park Street and Court Street
alternative.

Converting Court Street and Park Street to two-way operation would improve
mobility in the area and also enhance land development opportunities. Converting
Court Street to two-way operation would at a minimum involve modest
modifications, to the Court Street/Temple Street intersection such as removing the
raised channelized island on Temple Street. However, a better option would be to
initiate discussions with the owner of the 30 Temple Street property regarding the
potential redevelopment opportunities for the adjacent parcels, which perhaps could
include the reconfiguration of the intersection in such a way as to connect Spring
Street directly into the intersection. Also, given the offset configuration of the Main
Street/Park Street/Water Street intersection, it may be best to maintain the one-way
westbound restriction for the short (approximately 100’) western most section of Park
