Troy gets a new two-way street

The City of Troy's North Central neighborhood has unveiled a new two-way street in an old familiar place.

Rensselaer Street, which runs from 6th Avenue to River Street, had been a one-way westbound street. It now has been converted to two-way status.

The change was made to accommodate future development planned for the River Street corridor. 

As the city explained in a statement, “The change will allow Rensselaer Street addresses to accept local deliveries without trucks having to maneuver, and thus interrupt the safe flow of traffic on busy River Street.”
