PHOENIX — The “reverse lanes” on 7th Avenue and 7th Street have been in place for over 40 years. Over the decades many have said they need to become a thing of the past, one petition this past spring even gained over 5,000 signatures online.
That petition reached the City Council, which has now decided to move forward with a new traffic study in the Central City area which will include looking at reverse lanes.
While the majority of businesses and residents who work and live along the “sevens” want to see them go away, watch the video above to find out what those who want to keep the reverse lanes say about why they like them.
