This will amend Sections 23-194, 23-194.1 and 23-194.2 to make Lane Place, a portion of Butler Street, and a portion of Williams Street one-way. These streets form a loop off of Leckie Street in the Park View area. The request for these changes came from the Park View PAC Committee through the Portsmouth Redevelopment and Housing Authomity.
