East Downer Place in Aurora this week was set to switch to two-way traffic Wednesday, July 18. The stretch of Downer Place between Broadway and State Street was set to change to two-way as part of multi-year conversion plan.
In recent years, parts of New York Street, Galena Boulevard, Benton Street, Downer Place, River Street and Lake Street have been changed from one-way traffic to two-way traffic.
“As Aurora has grown, so have our patterns and plans,” said Aurora mayor Richard C. Irvin. “These changes in traffic patterns can enhance livability, make navigation easier, strengthen safety, and promote economic development.”
The intersections of East Downer Place at Lincoln, Jackson and Union all will remain as all-way stop controlled intersections.
