Summary
Illegal left turns across the protected median on Washington Street North between Addison and Shoup have caused repeated crashes — including a motorcycle near-catastrophe. The council approved flexible delineators for at least one year, but longtime businesses Swensen's, McDonald's (Kyle), and Oasis say the barriers will block delivery trucks and customer access, and worry crashes will just shift to the narrow Shoup intersection.
