East 2nd Street Access Management Plan
The MIC is working on devising an access management plan for a portion of US Hwy 2 / US Hwy 53 (E 2nd Street) in Superior, WI. The purpose of the plan is to examine both current and potential deficiencies in the existing roadway and develop solutions to improve the movements of traffic along the E 2nd St. corridor.

| What is Access Management?
|
| Access management is concerned with more than the spacing of driveways and intersections. It is also considers turning patterns along a roadway, the placement of traffic signals and circulation of traffic in areas adjacent to the roadway. |
| Why Manage Accesses?
|
| Simply put, managing access makes a roadway safer and more efficient. And developing an access management plan means that current travel patterns are being studied, future patterns are being anticipated, and paractices are being identified that will best ensure the safety and capacity of a roadway will continue over time. |
