Client/Owner: Washington County
Other Consultants/Key Participants: Dave Mills Consulting Inc. (land survey), DKS Associates (traffic analysis, illumination, signage and striping design), GeoDesign Inc. (geotechnical engineer), Kerr Contractors (general contractor)
Noteworthy: The new roundabout improves mobility and safety in a rapidly growing area. Increased traffic associated with a new high school and several residential developments now travels smoothly through the intersection, reducing pollution associated with idling cars that had waited in long lines at a stop-controlled intersection. New pedestrian and bike facilities will connect to regional trails.
