PROPOSED RESTORATION OF TWO-WAY TRAFFIC TO NORTHER SECTION OF NORTH/SOUTH ALLEY FROM RODGERS TO COONTZ BETWEEN CALLOW & WYCOFF, #AB86-187 This alley was designated one-way southbound by Council action on May 8, 1985, to prevent drivers northbound from using it at unsafe speeds to get to Callow through KitsaD Transit property in order to avoid conjestion at the Caiiow/Farragut signal. Engineering has received a reouest from residents in the north portion of this block to restore two-way traffic in that area of the aiie~7 so that they will not have to go past Kitsap Transit to exit the alley.
