Consultant outlines roundabout as preferred option for Upper Arlington’s complex 5‑Points intersection

Tony Lenhart, project manager for American StructurePoint, presented the firm’s alternatives for the complex five‑leg 5 Points intersection and described the public outreach that informed the current preferred design. Lenhart said the study considered a conventional signal and two roundabout options — a traditional circular multi‑lane roundabout and a kidney‑bean (nontraditional) configuration — and that a public survey showed roughly 55% support for a roundabout variant and 45% for a signal.
