City weighing lower Peters Road route to keep traffic out of neighborhoods, but funding unresolved
Summary
Staff described competing route options for Peters Road through the North End Smith Landing area and said a lower route near the canal may be preferred to avoid neighborhood traffic; staff said funding and property negotiations remain to be settled and the roundabout may need to be built up front by developers.
Staff presented surveyed route options for Peters Road through the North End Smith Landing area and said the city prefers a lower route that would keep traffic away from adjacent neighborhoods and offer drainage and construction advantages. "The lower route actually has some advantages in traffic...it also has some advantages in drainage and construction," the staff member said.
Staff cautioned that implementing a different route will require negotiations with multiple property owners and decisions on who pays for road construction; staff suggested the city may need to advance the roundabout up front to allow development to proceed and that the matter will likely go to council for funding and property decisions.
