Local traffic going north or <br />south overlaps for several blocks with the <br />regional traffic on Highway 99. <br />Vehicles coming from the Ferry Street <br />Bridge and Seventh Avenue (Hwy 99) con- <br />verge on Mill Street and continue south and <br />east on Broadway to Patterson Street, or onto <br />Franklin Boulevard (Hwy 99) .The reverse <br />flow takes the Franklin Boulevard (Hwy 99) <br />and Hilyard Street traffic west and then north <br />on Mill Street to about Eighth Avenue, where <br />it separates into the northbound Ferry Street <br />Bridge traffic and the westbound traffic on <br />Sixth Avenue (Hwy 99) . <br />The resulting flow of about 45,000 vehicles <br />per day on Mill Street at Eighth Avenue creates a <br />virtual wall between the current downtown and <br />the emerging courthouse district for motorists, <br />pedestrians and bicyclists. <br />Ord°' _~~f jE, <br />~~ <br />_ j~a <br />~t <br />i <br />r <br />~Hw ~~-,- ... ~ MwL f'R1~.S~~1Y <br />
