I support converting downtown Austin's one-way streets to two-way!

Converting one-way streets to two-way is one of the most powerful ways to revitalize downtown streets.
Austin's two-way street conversions* have succeeded EVERY TIME.
Let's finally bring this proven strategy to the rest of downtown!
Decades of evidence clearly show that two-way streets are better for downtowns than one-way streets. One-way streets have no demonstrated safety benefits and may well be worse. Wherever data exist for two-way conversions across the country, we find:
- More pedestrian activity
- Healthier local businesses
- Reduced crime
- Higher property values
Sign this petition now and show your support for two-way street conversions in downtown Austin!

Please initiate a study into converting downtown Austin's one-way streets to two-way. Two-way conversions have a consistent record of success, whether in Austin or across the country.
