Twiggs Is A 2-Way Street.
Byline: Rich Shopes
May 23--TAMPA -- Motorists have a new two-way route when driving downtown.
Twiggs Street is no longer one-way between Ashley Drive and Morgan Street.
On Tuesday, city officials opened the street to two-way traffic after three months of construction. Workers replaced damaged brick on the road surface and installed faux-brick crosswalks, and new traffic and pedestrian signals.
"For years, the downtown has been a cut-through. That's changing," Mayor Pam Iorio said before the street opened at 11 a.m.
Twiggs is the second of four streets in Tampa's downtown to be converted from one-way. Madison Street was converted last year. Zack is expected to be changed next summer and Polk Street the summer after that.
The city has set aside $900,000 to convert Zack, but officials would like to spend more, as much as $2 million, to transform the street into an "Avenue of the Arts" with angled parking, specialized lighting and wide sidewalks to accommodate shoppers and scores of new condominium residents.
