Plans to narrow part of Northwest 8th Avenue brought protests last night from some Gainesville residents.

City leaders held a public workshop to discuss various plans for the corridor.

One idea is to narrow the number of lanes from four to two adding bike lanes on both sides.

Each plan could end up costing the city anywhere from a quarter million to more than a million dollars.

When the microphone was opened for the public comment most seemed worried about the flow of traffic down the road.

Any final plans will have to be approved by the city commission during one of it's regular meetings.
