Covington Workshop: Washington Street

Weekend Concepts Wrap-Up

Over the past weekend, we learned a lot about the corridor and began the discussion about future changes.  Among the concepts were a general approach to Washington Street which sees the corridor in three segments: the Parkway, the Business Boulevard and the Porterdale Approach.

As a result, we will continue refinement on four focus areas (above left) to show how these places can change over time.

Second, one of our design options recommends the addition of two roundabouts.  These could be located at Turner Lake Road and Flat Shoals Road, which would enable easy traffic flow, u-turns and a center median.
