Consultants and county representatives presented updated traffic simulation and visualization for the Old Kyle Road project, describing a conversion to a one‑way roadway with continuous sidewalks, a two‑lane bike path and a roundabout at Blue Hole Road. The project as designed received $3.3 million in CAMPO funding and is currently scheduled for construction starting in 2027, presenters said.The visualizations showed existing two‑way conditions and projected traffic for opening day, then a proposed one‑way flow (from 3237 toward Ranch Road 12) with on‑street parking and a roundabout to maintain throughput at Blue Hole Road. Consultants said that if Oldham Street is extended through to Old Kyle Road — an option still under discussion and dependent on easements and approvals — drivers heading south on Ranch Road 12 would be able to reach Old Kyle businesses more directly instead of detouring to 3237. The team noted the Oldham extension had not been approved and that environmental and state coordination would be required to extend the project farther east toward 3237.Council members, the county commissioner and emergency services officials raised operational concerns: fire and emergency vehicle access on a one‑way alignment; the height and permanency of medians or “armadillo” separators and whether they would impede large trucks and emergency apparatus; how procession and cemetery access would be managed; and whether a traffic signal at the 12–Old Kyle intersection might be a safer alternative than a roundabout. Presenters said medians could be designed as removable or lower-profile elements and that CAMPO funding would not be jeopardized by choosing an alternative median treatment.Consultants also identified opportunities to align the design with downtown walkability goals and to tie Old Kyle Road changes to planned parking and trail/connectivity improvements. No final design decision was made at the meeting; the consultants will deliver video visualizations to city staff for public posting and continue coordination on Oldham Street feasibility and right‑of‑way work.Nut graf: The federally and regionally funded redesign is intended to improve pedestrian and bicycle access and the visualizations are being used to evaluate tradeoffs among circulation, emergency access and business access; council and staff will use the materials to decide whether to preserve flexibility for future Oldham connectivity. Ending: Consultants will provide materials for public posting and continue work on feasibility of Oldham Street and right‑of‑way coordination before construction plans are finalized.
