Traffic Engineer reveals initial plans

While plans are not even 50% complete yet, a Transystems traffic engineer revealed the initial layout of the 15th & "A" roundabout to the Governing Body at the February 11th Council Work Session. The plans call to keep "A" Street an open access point to the roundabout (originally would have ended in a cul-de-sac) and to build a new road connecting 15th and 16th Streets that would run just behind the Cobb Liquor Store. Several questions were asked by Council Members about the design. A tentatively time schedule is to have the plans 50% complete in March or April for KDOT inspection, then finalize the plans by the end of the year. Bids will be let for roundabout construction some time in 2010. Check my website for updates: I'll should be posting a diagram of the proposal soon.
