In Port Huron, city officials are considering changes to Court and Union streets to slow down traffic and improve safety. The proposal would convert sections between Seventh and 19th streets from one-way to two-way traffic. Leaders say the roads are wider than needed and have become hotspots for speeding, with many drivers going over 35 miles per hour. The change could make the area safer for pedestrians and better match the residential neighborhood. The plan is still in early stages, with public feedback now being collected.
