Resident Asks City to make Allegany Street All One-Way

Gregg Wolff, an Allegany Street resident, asked the Cumberland Mayor and Council this week if the street could be changed to one-way traffic. Wolff says two-way traffic is challenging on a normal day, and the recent snowstorm made it almost impossible, with parked cars being struck. The street is an alternate route for Emergency Medical Services, but Wolfe would like a change once a bridge is reopened…
“Since we have two-way traffic on Lee, and one-way traffic on Chase going north, would it be possible to extend the southbound one-way only on Allegany Street from Fayette down to Green. It already exists from Cumberland to Fayette.”
