The only direct way that I can get into town and across town to the west side is along Kagy. Yesterday I drove that that way twice in the middle of the afternoon. Traffic was volume was moderate west of S. 3rd and very light east of there. Pedestrian crossings are the main cause of traffic congestion between 11th and 7th streets. The ways to solve the problem are to construct pedestrian overpasses or underpasses near S. 11th and S. 7th, add left hand turn lanes for all the parking lots and side streets, and fix the traffic light at 11th so that the left turn signal is green rather than yellow. No accommodation has been made for all the new apartments constructed south of Kagy there. Traffic circles will destroy the usefulness of Kagy as a major through route and complicate pedestrian crossings (as evidenced by the circle at College and 11th). Although pedestrian underpasses are expensive, they are the best long term solution.
