The City of Ithaca Board of Public Works unanimously supported a motion to permanently change Williams Street to a two-way street at their meeting June 25. The possibility of the change was sparked by sidewalk repairs being done on Highland Place and a need to re-route traffic off of Highland. All that needs to be done for the change is to remove the signage designating the street as one way, said Transportation Engineer Tim Logue.
The board also continued their discussion of mobile vending in the city. The discussion began with the review of an appeal of a denied application for mobile food vending. Ultimately, the board decided that since there is no mobile vending program set up they would deny the appeal. The motion was passed 5-1, with Commissioner Govind Acharya voting in opposition. Mayor Svante Myrick said he would direct staff to begin developing a mobile vending program for the City of Ithaca.

Looking down the street (only 2 blocks long) from the top:

Makes perfect sense, as long as they continue to prohibit street parking.

Not sure which house, but one of those is where Vonnegut lived while at Cornell.
