Roundabout Improvements Open House
The design process for the Bond-Reed Market-Brookswood Roundabout improvements has begun! The attention that SCNA’s Board has brought to this is starting to pay off, but we still need you to weigh-in with your thoughts.
The budget that City Council approved was only for a two-lane entrance and one-lane exit roundabout with the extra lane being a turn-only lane. SCNA has repeatedly asked for a full two-lane roundabout to assist with normal traffic and wildfire evacuation. The design process getting underway will heavily influence which approach is recommended to City Council.
Now is the most effective time in the process to comment. If you wait until later, your opinions will be a lot less likely to be heard. The open house will be Thursday October 29, 5:00-6:30pm. An online version will also be available October 27 to November 10. More details are available here.
