Next phase of two-way street conversion happens this weekend – Lansing State Journal

A construction worker moves equipment in downtown Lansing on Friday, Sept. 30, 2022.

LANSING — The two-way conversion of downtown Lansing streets continues this weekend with Pine and Walnut streets.

Pine, southbound traffic, and Walnut, northbound traffic, are on the west side of the Michigan State Capitol. Work will take place this weekend, but the city did not specify a time frame on the city website.

In addition, the remaining portions of Capitol Avenue, which had been southbound only, and Grand Avenue, which was only northbound, will be converted as well. Crews converted portions of those streets, from Oakland Avenue south to Washtenaw Street, in early August, leaving them one way south to the Interstate 496 construction project. The conversions this weekend will stretch to St. Joseph and Malcolm X streets.

A man crosses the street as a southbound vehicle is seen in the wrong lane in a section of the newly-changed two-way street along North Capitol Avenue near Shiawassee Street seen Monday, Aug. 8, 2022.

Two more one-way streets — east- and westbound Ottawa and Allegan streets, running along the north and south sides of the capitol — will be converted before the project is complete. The city’s website does not currently have information regarding the two streets, but updates will be provided “as information is available.”

The conversions were discussed for at least 20 years, since the two-way conversion of Shiawassee, Ionia and Washtenaw streets in 1999. The city was able to bring the change to fruition thanks to a $3.3-million grant from the state, which covers changes to traffic signals, pavement markings and changing the curve of curb lines.
