    πŸš— Big News for Drivers on College Street! πŸš—

    As of today, you can officially cruise both ways on College Street between Michigan and Ohio Streets!

    At the May 6th City Council meeting, a motion was approved to switch this block from a one-way to a two-way street. Why the change? This section—right in front of the Elementary School—was previously one-way to accommodate school bus loading. But since buses are no longer using this area, the one-way rule is now a thing of the past.

    πŸŽ‰ And here’s the exciting part: the City Maintenance Crew has already removed the signs, so you’re free to drive east OR west starting now!

    This update is all about improving traffic flow and making life just a little bit easier for everyone in the neighborhood. Happy driving! πŸš™πŸ’¨
