In an attempt to improve the flow of traffic in downtown Santa Monica, Fifth Street will be converted from one-way to two-way traffic beginning next week, a city official said Wednesday.
Weather permitting, work to change traffic signals, street striping and signage on Fifth Street between Wilshire Boulevard and Colorado Avenue will be done overnight on Nov. 18, said Ron Fuchiwaki, parking and traffic engineer for Santa Monica.
In addition, one northbound lane on Fourth Street between Broadway and Wilshire will be eliminated to allow for parking, Fuchiwaki said.
