Roundabout Concept

The improvement concept at the intersection of Eden Ave, Grange Rd, and Wilson Rd is 2 roundabouts. Because of the offset nature of the intersection and the proximity to driveways, 1 roundabout does not work at this location. The benefits of this concept are;

1. Reduced Vehicle Speeds
2. Reduced vehicle and pedestrian conflict points.
3. Reduced severity and frequency of most crash types.
4. Improved pedestrian facility - wide shared use trails on both sides, shorter crossing distances, median refuge island, crossing only one direction at a time.
5. Typically, less delay than traffic signals or all-way-stop intersections.
