Description
Since the new road construction of new traffic lights and traffic pattern were put into place on North Tryon 29/49 split and the exit to get on I85 the city got rid of the entrance to Reagan Dr (N I85 Service Rd). Now it says for emergency vehicles ONLY and we now have to turn down Tom Hunter or cut through neighborhoods to get home. We tried contacting the city but were told there was nothing they could do, but why couldn’t it be turned into a one way road off of North Tryon heading down Reagan Dr. If the road had been like the way it is now we would have NEVER bought our house down Reagan Dr because the road they put in place doesn’t make sense and going through somewhat rough neighborhoods are such an inconvenience and your shouldn't have to go through someone else's neighborhood to get to your own when there is a simple fix!!
Hope to get help soon!

Thanks for inquiring about the project. I have spoken to a couple CDOT personnel about this issue. My hope is, if we can get enough people interested in this, we might get WBTV to help us out.
We are going to try to get a sign out there so people can vote this issue up to draw interest. If that doesn't work CDOT said a petition is the next step.
Our goal IS NOT to get all of Reagan to be a one way. It is to get that Emergency Only entrance to Reagan be made a one way. This is because there is not another entrance on that side. There is however and exit onto the I-85 connector.
I don’t disagree with the new road modifications as a whole. I just don’t understand why this small modification can’t be made to make everyone happy. I don’t see any negative aspects of making that a one way. The infrastructure is already there. Just take those traffic cones out (that are already broken from people using that road anyway) and add a couple One Way Only Signs and we have a way to reduce traffic in a neighborhood that just recently added speed bumps because (I assume) increased traffic at increased speeds.
