One Way, Two Way, One Way
It might sound like a game for my 3-year-old son, but it’s not. Instead. that’s the traffic engineering now in place for Robinson Avenue. I’m not sure if I understand the city’s logic on their recent conversion of Robinson Avenue between NW 6 and NW 13 to two-way traffic, and then leaving it one-way from NW 13 to (I think) NW 18. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

I don’t know about Heritage Hills but it makes for a really difficult time giving directions to people. If they live east of Robinson, they have to tell people to take Broadway; west it’s Harvey (or Hudson, I can’t recall). Anyway, I wish they would resolve this and solve a lingering headache for me.
I’m guessing that it is only because they have not yet had a chance to remove/reconfigure the directional hardscape median at 16th. If traffic were allowed to continue northbound at 13th, it would run into a confusing roadblock three blocks north. as someone who lives only yards from that intersection, I do hope it is ultimately resolved, but I can’t say that I was surprised by the current configuration.
Chad is correct, there is some kind of concrete channelizer/median/planter thing at 16th and Robinson that would force Northbound Robinson traffic West on 16th at the intersection.
I suppose that makes sense, I live in J-Park on Robinson and an constantly frustrated by this street.
It’s 16th… but, to guess on an answer, it’s because they didn’t want to mess with Heritage Hills and their traffic controls built to keep people out.
