Traffic Update: S 29th Street to Become Reversible!

To better accommodate the growing number of visitors to local food establishments in the area, S 29th Street will soon be transitioning to reversible lanes in the coming weeks!

What this means: During peak traffic hours -
Lunch Rush: 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM
Supper Rush: 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
- traffic will only be allowed to enter S 29th St from the south.

Depending on your destination:
Use the eastbound lane if you re heading to spots on the east side.
Use the westbound lane if you re headed west.

This change is designed to improve traffic flow and enhance safety for everyone traveling through this busy area.

We're excited to get this project underway and appreciate your patience as the transition takes place. Stay tuned for signage and updates - and thank you for helping us keep things moving smoothly!
