In February the design plans for the South Carson Complete Streets Project reached 60 percent completion. Current design elements include safe accommodations for travel, one of which is a roundabout at the intersection of Stewart Street and South Carson Street.
The design is a multi-lane roundabout with a detached pathway for pedestrians and cyclists. Cyclists may also choose to occupy a lane through the roundabout. The center island will include landscaping and will eventually include a public art piece, adding to the gateway appeal. See the video here or below.
The roundabout installment will reduce the frequency and severity of accidents, minimize long-term maintenance and operation costs, and improve traffic flow, which are motivating factors for its design.
The 60 percent roundabout design along with surrounding design elements will be available for review at a Public Workshop, on April 12, 2019, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. at The Studio at Adams Hub, 177 W Proctor St. This meeting will provide the opportunity for business owners and residents to explore in detail the potential plans and provide input to the project team.
Construction is anticipated to start in late 2019. More information about this project is available at carsonproud.com.
