What will this improvement do for Green?

Improves traffic flow to move vehicles through the corridor faster—no waiting for the light to go green—and provide easier access to businesses along the corridor. (Without roundabouts, this section of 241-S would need to be nine lanes wide at traffic signals!)
Increases safety for drivers and passengers as risky traffic signal accidents no longer come into play.
Enhances the aesthetic of the corridor and creates a visually appealing sense of place.
Provides capacity to handle growth of this prime retail and business hub in Green.
The number of vehicles that travel down 241 S is expected to increase by 20% by 2043; the roundabout will lessen congestion in the area.
Traffic signals create more congestion than roundabouts, the project will improve traffic flow.

1. Why is the City adding another roundabout?: Without roundabouts, this section of 241 South, based on current and future traffic amounts, would need to be nine lanes wide at the traffic signals. Building nine lanes of traffic would cost far more and be less safe than the roundabout design.
