Downtown Colorado Springs Tejon Street Now has 2-Directional traffic for the first time in 37 years.

Derek and I were driving downtown after attending the CAMP Benefit Concert, when we noticed that Tejon no longer was just a South-Only street! It was very odd to see traffic coming AT us on a street that formerly only offered one-way travel.

Per a recent Colorado Springs Business Journal article (CSBJ) this decision was made for the benefit of local, downtown businesses:

"The change comes at the request of downtown businesses after a study commissioned by the Colorado Springs Downtown Partnership showed that a two-way environment would likely increase traffic volumes and business sales along the one-way portion of Tejon."

There are all kinds of "Look Both Ways" signs at every corner to help pedestrians remember that there will be cars coming from both directions when they go to cross the street.

This will be an interesting adjustment for Downtown Colorado Springs.
