F Frequently Asked Questions l A k dQ i Question: Why is a roundabout being proposed at this intersection? Given the current crash rate at this intersection, aging pavement and electrical infrastructure, and high peak hour volumes; this intersection is the ideal candidate for a roundabout high peak hour volumes; this intersection is the ideal candidate for a roundabout. Question: How will this project benefit residents? Roundabouts are shown to improve safety, reduce approach delays, and improve aesthetics. f Question: What is included in the project? The project will include roadway improvements, water and sanitary sewer replacements, improved street lighting (LED) enhanced pedestrian crosswalks multi use pathways for pedestrians and street lighting (LED), enhanced pedestrian crosswalks, multi‐use pathways for pedestrians and cyclists, rain gardens, and streetscaping.
