Resident urges traffic signals or roundabouts at Lodge Road intersections
Summary
During citizen remarks, Vikram Mohan told the council several local intersections (notably on Lodge Road) remain dangerous and recommended either traffic signals or roundabouts as possible solutions.
At the end of the work session the council heard from one registered speaker, Vikram Mohan, who urged the city to address dangerous intersections—especially those involving Lodge Road—where motorists must pull onto 40 mph streets without signal control.
Mohan described two options the city could consider: installing traffic signals where feasible or constructing roundabouts. "The other option is a roundabout, which sounds difficult, but, visualizing it, it could definitely be done," he said, noting roundabouts slow vehicles and reduce the severity of crashes while keeping traffic moving. Mohan urged staff to evaluate locations for either option and to prioritize pedestrian and driver safety at intersections that have seen increased local traffic over the past decade.
The council thanked him for the comment; no formal direction or motion was recorded during the session.
