Study flags operational concerns, recommends roundabout at Lee and Belgrade
Summary
The consultant reviewed crash history and projected volumes to 2050, noting current intersections operate within normal range but are close to danger thresholds; a roundabout at Lee and Belgrade was recommended while signals were judged unnecessary at some intersections.
Bolton & Menk reviewed five years of crash data and statewide comparisons and told the Council the intersections generally operate within normal limits but could cross into a danger range with an additional crash. Kelsey Larson reported two serious-injury crashes at Lee Boulevard and Lookout Drive in the last ten years and said projected traffic growth to 2050 could create operational concerns at stop-controlled intersections.
The consultant recommended a roundabout at Lee and Belgrade and presented trade-offs between keeping existing signals and installing new roundabouts at several intersections. Larson said traffic volumes do not justify a signal at Lee and Belgrade, but there is capacity to retain or replace the signal at Lee and Lookout or build another roundabout.
