Two-way traffic on Clark Street? Stevens Point asks DOT to study idea.
STEVENS POINT – City officials want the Wisconsin Department of Transportation to consider long-discussed changes to State 66 in downtown Stevens Point in its plans for the corridor in upcoming years. The full Common Council unanimously affirmed Sept. 21 a Board of Public Works' decision to request the DOT evaluate a re-route of State 66 along about six blocks of Clark Street, which would be converted to two-way traffic. Significant work on this section of State 66 would likely not occur until at least 2032, Scott Beduhn, director of public works, said in a July 8 report to Board of Public Works. The DOT is planning work on State 66 all but one year between 2027 and 2032 and requested the city's guidance on whether to include changes to downtown streets previously studied by the city. What was revealed in a previous feasibility study? A feasibility study completed in 2022 initially evaluated elimination of the Main and Clark streets one-way pair between Michigan Avenue and the Clark Street bridge, but it was later narrowed to only consider the roadways west of Division Street as only that section would see traffic conditions improve as a result of the change, Derek Salomonsen,
