\"Orlando \"Orlando <\/p>\n

ORLANDO, Fla. – The City of Orlando has completed the first phase of its effort to convert several one-way downtown streets into two-way roads, reopening Magnolia Avenue to traffic in both directions.<\/p>\n

City leaders marked the milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday.<\/p>\n

Parking expands as bus lanes removed <\/p>\n

Local perspective:<\/p>\n

As part of the project, dedicated bus lanes were removed and replaced with new traffic lanes and on-street parking.<\/p>\n

City officials said Magnolia Avenue now has 100 parking spaces, up from just seven before the redesign.<\/p>\n

Mayor Buddy Dyer said the project is intended to make downtown more accessible and attractive for visitors.<\/p>\n

“We do hope this will be a festival street. So we’re re-doing Church Street as well. Magnolia and Church will be two of our great streets, and then of course the Canopy will be another area to add.”<\/p>\n

Cashless parking system <\/p>\n

What you can do:<\/p>\n

Drivers using the new on-street parking spaces will be required to pay through the city’s cashless parking system using its mobile app.<\/p>\n
