Alternative 3: Existing Alignment -- Two Roundabouts

Maintains existing alignments of Elwert Road and Edy Road except near intersection, where two roundabouts manage turning traffic.

Goals Comparison Findings
Safety and Livability

  • Roundabouts slow traffic, typically less severe crashes.​

  • Pedestrians benefit from shorter crossing distances and refuge areas created by median islands.​
Mobility and Function

  • Alignment is close to existing conditions.​

  • Adds approx. 300 ft. of travel distance.​
Environment/
Right of way

  • Requires some new right of way (approx. 5 acres), but less than Sherwood West Concept Plan alternative.​

  • Moderate environmental impact.​
Feasibility

  • Moderately challenging implementation due to property impacts.

  • Moderate impacts to utility crossings.

  • Potential for significant traffic impacts and detours during construction.
