Letter: Two-way streets calm traffic

I live on one of the one-way express streets downtown next to the Indianapolis Cultural Trail [“Indianapolis to convert parts of eight one-way streets into two-way,” IBJ.com, June 30]. Many drivers ignore the flashing yellow lights as they race towards the red light on the next block. Car wrecks and scared pedestrians are common at my corner.

If done on residential streets, two-way traffic calms and improves the neighborhood’s quality of life. I am all for the decision. Besides, the expressway is easily accessible from three directions downtown..
