Cleveland Avenue becomes two way Tuesday morning

Two-way traffic on Cleveland Avenue begins Tuesday.

The ordinance passed by Plainfield City Council in November restores the single block of Cleveland Avenue between East 4th and East 5th Streets to two-way traffic. The change becomes effective Tuesday morning at 9:00 AM, per an email notice from the city to all residents.

That single block has been one way northbound since before I moved here 35 years ago, but old-timers tell me that it used to be two-way and that traffic from the train station would exit what is now thought of as the entrance and use Cleveland Avenue to get to 7th Street and beyond.

So it will now become easier for those on 4th Street to get onto Cleveland Avenue.

As to whether and how it will impact the traffic into and out of the train station and whether it will lead to more accidents, we will only have to wait and see.

Meanwhile, revel in being able to make that left onto Cleveland from 4th.
