Business owners on Maple Avenue in Dallas are frustrated about a plan to reduce the number of traffic lanes from four to two. However, some residents in the area argue the change is needed.

The change would affect Maple Avenue between Mockingbird Lane and Oak Lawn Avenue.The two lanes that are being removed will be converted into a turning lane and a bike lane in each direction."It’s going to kill some of these businesses here," said Martin Guajardo, the manager at Avila's.Guajardo believes cutting the number of traffic lanes in half will create traffic jams that will drive away his customers.

"He has the best chicken tacos that I can find in town, and I cannot walk the six blocks. My wife and I come down, and when we come across, there are at least three intersections where we’re not safe," he said.Garza believes the changes will not only improve safety but also the quality of life.But the business owners see it differently.Guajardo said the businesses in the area are geared toward drivers, not pedestrians."They’re not going to walk. It’s not really a walking area.
