Clarksville, TN – On Thursday morning, March 1st, 2012, work will begin on Third Street downtown.
Beginning at approximately 9:00am, the right hand travel lane and associated parking spaces will be closed so that the parallel parking brackets currently in place can be replaced with diagonal spaces.
In addition to the new diagonal spaces, traffic signals in the area will be transitioned to “flashing red” on Monday morning. The effected signals are located at the Second and Franklin intersection, the Second and Commerce intersection, the Third and Commerce intersection and the Third and Franklin intersection.
“These changes may seem minor but they provide much needed additional parking and allow for a better traffic flow in the area,” said Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan. “Our goal, of course, is to make these changes quickly and safely with as little interruption as possible to normal routines. I appreciate our Street Department and the Parking Authority’s work on making this happen quickly and cooperatively.”
