Resident urges traffic-safety fixes at Lodge Road intersections; proposes signals or roundabouts
Summary
A resident told the council that several high-speed intersections involving Lodge Road are dangerous for drivers and pedestrians and suggested installing traffic signals or roundabouts as potential remedies; the council thanked the speaker.
At the citizen‑appearance portion of the meeting, resident Vikram Mohan urged the council to address what he called dangerous intersections involving Lodge Road. Mohan told the council the intersections were built for lower traffic levels and now face far more vehicle and pedestrian conflicts; he proposed either installing traffic signals or constructing roundabouts, noting roundabouts "keep traffic flowing" and tend to reduce severity of crashes.
Mohan described how former single‑household roads have become residential streets with dozens of homes and more turning conflicts, and urged the city to evaluate design changes that would better fit current traffic volumes. The mayor thanked him for the comment and the meeting moved to adjournment.
