<\/a>roundabouts were recommended at multiple intersections along the corridor.<\/p><\/div>\n
the immediate, short-term recommendations offered to the city were to update vehicle and pedestrian clearance timings at signals, fill in the sidewalk gaps along the south side of greenhill road and improve signage and pavement markings at several intersection approach locations.<\/p>\n
for long-term consideration, it was recommended to add signals at two current twsc intersections and to widen roadways for turn lanes at four of the intersections. also, it was recommended to convert five signalized intersections to roundabouts, with immediate priority being given to the cedar heights drive and south main street intersections. after being approved by the city council, these two roundabout conversions are slated to begin construction in 2020 and 2021, respectively. while upfront costs will be higher than traditional signalized intersections, our firm\u2019s study determined the roundabout conversions will result in considerable cost savings over the lifespan of the project, as well as improved safety, efficiency, and traffic flow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
