POLK AVENUE TO CHANGE DIRECTIONS
On Monday, September 29th, traffic on Polk Avenue between Union Street and Church Street will change directions to become one-way northbound.
The change in direction, approved by the Metro Traffic & Parking Commission in August, was requested by the Homewood Suites hotel whose entrance is at 706 Church Street. The hotel requested the traffic direction change along with an increase in the size of their valet zone from 50 feet to 75 feet to make it more accessible and eliminate potential safety issues with thru traffic.
Existing on-street parking on Polk Avenue, which is currently limited to two hours, will remain and revert back to parking metered spaces on Monday.
