News Anchor: The City of Brooksville has announced a new traffic management plan aimed at reducing congestion in the downtown core. Starting next Monday, several main streets will become one-way routes during rush hours, and additional bike lanes will be added along 4th Avenue and Wellington Street. Mayor Angela Dawson explained that the changes are based on a recent traffic study that showed a 35% increase in vehicle volume over the past two years. She emphasized that the plan will also improve pedestrian safety, with longer crossing times at key intersections. While some business owners have expressed concern about reduced parking, the city has promised to add two new public parking lots on the edges of the downtown zone. The full plan will be tested for three months before being made permanent.
