What happened

The City of Colfax is considering a major change to its downtown corridor, which would reduce Main Street from two lanes in each direction to one lane each way. The plan also includes adding a center turn lane, bike lanes on both sides of the street, and updating intersections to meet ADA standards. Mayor Jim Retzer stated the project aims to improve safety for both pedestrians and motorists.
