September 20 Meeting Notes

DOT manager Dave Bierschbach (left) and project manager Dan Lewis (right) presented  on the upcoming roundabout at the intersection of 5th and Sunset Hwy at the east end of the Sellar Bridge.  They talked about the process of researching options before deciding on a roundabout, which is much safer, and will keep traffic moving better.  They explained how the traffic flow would change once the intersection is reconfigured.
