St. Cloud Street & George Street

St. Cloud and George Streets looking west, 1970

The intersection of George and St. Cloud Streets had a two-way east/west stop on St. Cloud in 1970, with continuous north/south access on George Street.  There were no medians that divided this intersection.

The St. Cloud Street and George Street intersection received a major facelift in 1999.  The west side of George Street has been closed off, creating a three-way (or "T") intersection.  Traffice lights were installed at the intersection, including left-turn signals when turning south onto George Street and east onto St. Cloud Street. 

George Street is now a four lane street with a median for lane changes south of the intersection and a concrete dividing median north of the intersection.  St. Cloud Street also has a dividing median between the left (south) turn lane and the right (north) turn lane.
