Nearly 12,800 vehicles use this <br />intersection each day. The intersection has a history of accidents, including right angle, rear- <br />end and run off the road crashes. <br /> <br />Both virtual and in person open houses where held in January of 2023 to obtain public <br />comment on the proposed improvements. The improvements generally include the <br />construction of a roundabout (RAB), storm water quality improvements and lighting. <br /> <br />While the intersection is identified as a Gateway in the City’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan no RAB <br />landscaping or city identification improvements are proposed at this time. No water main <br />services are currently available to service any landscaping of the roundabout. The project does <br />include service conduits for future power and water to the RAB. The city has also included a <br />casing pipe for future water main extension to the north side of Main Street. <br /> <br />The overall project cost is estimated to be $2,157,278. With the City’s support the County was able to <br />receive $1,600,000 in federal funding for the project. <br /> <br /> <br />172
