Atchison residents request a one-way North 3rd Street
04/10/2025

(KAIR)--A push is being made by residents of Atchison's 3rd Street to see it become a one way street.

Two residents of that area addressed the Atchison City Commission Monday, citing their concerns, such as how narrow the street is, especially when combined with on-street parking.

A second 3rd Street resident joined in the request to make it a one-way roadway.

Both cited vehicle damage due to the narrow nature of the street.

Following the two requests, Mayor La Rochelle Young told both residents she understood their concern, citing a past, out-of-area crash that totaled her vehicle.

Although the Commission took no immediate action regarding the concerns, Vice-Mayor Larry Wilcox told both residents that he will make sure the matter is formally addressed in the future.
