1) Help calm traffic and ensure safe crossings
 As part of the new Jefferson Bikeway, the City of Saint Paul has put in a test traffic diverter on Cleveland Avenue at Jefferson to reduce car traffic on Jefferson and make it easier for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross Cleveland.
Your feedback is needed! According to the Saint Paul Bicycle Coalition, comments opposing the diverter are outnumbering supportive ones by a 3 to 1 ratio. Opponents have cited frustration with prohibited left turns onto Jefferson and concern about traffic being diverted to other residential streets.
Try it out: Walk and/or bike through the test traffic diverter at the intersection of Cleveland and Jefferson ( map) Tell Public Works what you think: E-mail pw-testmedian@ci.stpaul.mn.us or call 651-695-4000
