On 24 Jan 2024, a judge approved Atlantic City's plan to reduce Atlantic Avenue from four to two lanes, despite casino and hospital opposition, stating the project can be reversible if necessary.

On January 24, 2024, a judge allowed Atlantic City to proceed with its plan to reduce the width of its main street, Atlantic Avenue, from four lanes to two. Despite opposition from five casinos and a hospital, arguing that the reduction in lanes could lead to traffic congestion and potentially harm businesses and emergency services, Judge Michael Blee ruled that no irreparable harm had been caused by the project. The project was in its early stages when it began in January, during the city's slowest period of the year, and would be easily reversible if future court rulings go against it, as stated by Judge Blee.
