Transitions into Downtown <br />Consideration was given to improving the arrival experience into the downtown as well as the <br />distribution of vehicles to the street network. Due to how traffic flows, on multiple streets, in and out of <br />the eastern and southern parts of Paris' downtown today, no substantial changes are needed to the east <br />and south. Also, Clarksville Street and Lamar Avenue carry traffic in different directions to the City's <br />exterior which naturally helps distribute traffic. Minor signal modifications are anticipated at the <br />Clarksville Street/12th Street and Lamar Avenue/12th Street intersections. At the downtown's south end, <br />the City is re -designing the Church Street/Hearne Avenue intersection, which will allow motorists to <br />choose between 15t Street or Main Street to travel to their desired downtown destination. <br />West of Paris' downtown, a new roundabout was recommended west of the Bonham Street/7th <br />Street/Grand Avenue intersections, which is shown in Figure 9. <br />Figure 91 Roundabout "transition on the vW er T r'Pnid of Pans <br />The roundabout will allow motorists to easily choose between Bonham Street or Grand Avenue as they <br />enter Paris' downtown. The roundabout's location will require the purchase of some additional right-of- <br />way. <br />13 <br />
