“Penn Ave is so unique and historical. Penn Ave is already ruined in the Cultural District and I steer clear of the area. It is slow moving/ugly. I do not want this to happen to The Strip. Smallman street has turned into a constant traffic jam after the changes occurred.
I do a lot of volunteer work at St. Stan’s on 21st and the tourist tell me all the time how much they love the hustle bustle of neighborhood and means the uniqueness of Penn Ave and how it currently is! 2 lanes are essential for driving/parking/shopping/deliveries. I shop every week in the strip because it is “easy”. 1 lane and I am sure ugly changes will ruin the neighborhood/feel/history/business.
PLEASE KEEP IT AS IS!”
