The Montana Standard from Butte, Montana • 2

Angle parking ruled out Sesso said the possibility for parking on an angle was ruled out because of the width of the street. One possible configuration calls for two lanes of traffic in each direction on Park Street with parking on both sides of the road. Another possible scenario calls for one lane of traffic in each direction with two turning lanes in the center and parking on both sides. The BTCC is also dealing with other traffic issues.

The intersection at Montana and Platinum is scheduled to be changed sometime in the new year, Sesso said. That change could eliminate parking on Montana Street from Gold to Aluminum, Sesso said. The BTCC asked state Department of Highway officials to consider leaving some parking on the west side of Montana Street. Montana Street parking The issue is expected to be settled by the Butte-Silver Bow County commissioners next week. The plan includes two left-turn arrows allowing traffic to swing from Montana onto Platinum in both directions.

The parking will be limited, Sesso said, because a new turning lane will be created for cars coming up Montana Street and turning west on Platinum. The BTCC is also working on plans to improve the traffic flow on Harrison Avenue, pave the Four-Mile Road to serve as a main connection between Continental Drive and Elizabeth Warren, and create a connection between Montana Street and the southern part of Harrison Avenue. ommendations on the Park Street traffic pattern by January, Sesso said. About 20 people, including business owners, law enforcement officers and county officials attended Tues-' day's meeting in the Butte-Silver Bow County courthouse. 'Cold feet' as a county Originally, Park Street was scheduled to open to two-way traffic in 1990, abandoning the one-way flow that was adopted when traffic through the Uptown area was heavier than it is now, Ringsak said.

"We got cold feet as a county," said planning director Sesso, who also serves on the BTCC. "We didn't think change was going to be problem free." Ringsak, owner of Miller's Shoe Store on South Arizona said the one-way traffic pattern was adopted when Butte's population was at least 15 percent higher than it is now. He said traffic was a problem in Butte before the two interstate highways were built through the Mining City. Two-way 'appropriate' now Ringsak said returning Park Street to two-way traffic is now appropriate, citing the move to bring traffic and tourism into historic Uptown Butte. He said the move also meshes with efforts to make Montana Street the main western entrance to the Mining City and Continental Drive the main eastern entrance.

Ringsak said tourists coming from Continental Drive often miss the Uptown area because they meet Park Street and are forced to turn elsewhere. Ringsak said he believes excuses about why the change can't be made "are all bunk." Delivery trucks routinely double-park on Park Street while they wheel their goods to local businesses. Such parking would cause a safety hazard with two-way traf fic, the county sheriff has said. Safety, fire, snow concerns Local law enforcement and fire officials both voiced concerns about turning the street to two-way traffic for issues of safety, fire accessibility and snow removal. The original recommendation for the traffic change came as one of many included in the 1986 traffic study adopted as a working plan by the BTCC.

The study recommended numerous short-term and long-term traffic changes that should be made in Butte. Sesso said the BTCC committee is still working from that document and making some of the changes recommended. The study based many of its recommendations of traffic projections for the year 2010. Sesso said he hopes the BTCC will begin working on revisions and additions to the plan. Changes are needed, Sesso said, because Butte's current traffic has already exceeded the 2010 projections.

Accessibility an issue "It's still relevant, but it may no longer be adequate to manage the traffic," Sesso said. While the Harrison Avenue issues focus on easing gridlock around the highway interchange and improving connecting roads, some of the Uptown recommendations are concerned with making the area more accessible. Sesso said the issues for the Park Street traffic group to deal with include the access for deliveries and ensuring double-parking delivery trucks do not become a problem. Some merchants who signed the petition agreed that deliveries may be a problem for businesses with limited alley access. Bob and Cheryl Kelleher, who recently opened the American Candy Shop, supported the petition to make Park Street two-way, as did individuals By Paula DelBoniS Standard Staff Writer Butte Uptown business owners are urging county officials to open Park Street to two-way traffic to draw more people into the Uptown business district and ease access across town.

The change has been lingering in the wings since a 1986 county study recommended one-way Park Street be returned to two-way traffic. County officials put the change on hold in 1990 just as the change was about to occur. County planning director Jon Sesso cited unresolved problems with deliveries, safety and snow removal. Petition presented this week Uptown business owner Mick Ringsak presented a petition with the signatures of nearly more than 40 Uptown business owners and managers to the Butte Transportation Coordinating Committee (BTCC) Tuesday. Ringsak resurrected the effort to open Park Street to two-way traffic from Arizona to Montana after the issue was raised during recent public meetings to revitalize the Uptown business district.

A citizen's group working with the PROMO development firm recommended Park Streeet be converted to two-way traffic. "I didn't think it had to be resurrected," Ringsak said. "I thought it was a done deal." Recommendations by January The BTCC, a county body reporting to the the council of commissioners, held off on recommending a change in Park Street traffic Tuesday, instead seeking further study by the ad-hoc group. A new ad-hoc committee of Uptown business owners and county officials is expected to make specific rec- DUTTE LOCAL FILE Death Janetta L. Salminen, 41, 812 Travonia, Tuesday.
