Hearing tonight on traffic islands by Blackstone Park

PROVIDENCE -- The Blackstone Park Improvement Association is expected tonight to discuss a controversial city plan to construct two traffic islands at the southern end of Blackstone Boulevard, which Councilwoman Rita Williams says will improve traffic flow.

While Williams says that community groups and city officials have been working to slow traffic on the boulevard and believe traffic islands could help, some neighbors believe the islands may result in more accidents. The boulevard runs along a popular walking path and play area.

At tonight’s meeting, city officials will make a presentation on their plans for the intersection and will be available to hear from residents.

The issue is on the association’s agenda for tonight’s meeting, at 7 p.m. at School One, 220 University Ave.
