ROUNDABOUT

The intersection at Montezuma Avenue and Mildred Road has been identified as a difficult intersection and in need of improvement. At this time, the City has not committed to any engineering solutions; we are only beginning to analyze this intersection—it is a project in its infancy. While a roundabout is one idea that will be considered, several other solutions will also be analyzed, such as traffic lights, 4-way stops, etc.
