After a year of discussion and a final approval, the city of Eau Claire will officially switch Barstow Street and Graham Avenue to two-way in August. The construction season for downtown will begin in June with resurfacing work being done on Graham, then both roads will be re-painted and re-signed in August, in between Summerfest (Aug. 4) and the beginning of UWEC’s school year (Sept. 4). The confirmation came in 2011 when the city unveiled their Riverfront Redesign Plan and although the construction on Barstow Street is postponed until 2013, the city is switching the roads to two-way this summer.
