Map of Traffic in York

Traffic is an on-going issue in the York neighborhood, especially non-residential, according to Kirsti Charlton, president of the York Neighborhood Association. This map pinpoints specific locations of accidents and issues. Max London, a four-year Yorker, lives on Humboldt Street. “People don’t think of it as a residential area because it is so close to Lakeway Drive and downtown,” London said. "The York is definitely not an ideal place to be driving fast.”
