Intersection #1: Coliseum Drive at Cunningham Drive

A hybrid roundabout was identified as an improvement alternative for this intersection.

Alternative #1 – Hybrid Roundabout

Converting this signal to a hybrid roundabout is anticipated to greatly improve the operations for all movements on the roundabout. In addition, the roundabout is anticipated to increase the safety of the intersection.

• Making the intersection a hybrid roundabout.
• Two through lanes northbound and southbound.
• One through and one right-turn lane eastbound and westbound.

Intersection #2: Coliseum Drive at Mercury Boulevard

Alternative #1 - Pedestrian Bridge

A pedestrian bridge is being proposed west of the Mercury Boulevard at Coliseum Drive intersection and would be designed to allow pedestrians to safely cross Mercury Boulevard.

Please rate this proposed concept on a scale of 1 to 5. (424 respondents)

	1. Strongly oppose	2. Somewhat oppose	3. Neutral	4. Somewhat support	5. Strongly support
Alternative #1 - Pedestrian Bridge	8%	5%	11%	28%	49%

 

Intersection #3: Mercury Boulevard at Armistead Avenue

A Center Turn Overpass is being presented as a possible alternative for this intersection.

Alternative #1 – Center Turn Overpass

This intersection currently experiences failing movements for all left-turn movements except the eastbound left-turn movement which is currently operating at near capacity. The center turn overpass alternative is a grade-separated alternative, which means all left-turn movements will be elevated on a bridge. Since this alternative is grade separated, it will require two signals. With the left-turn movements having their own signal, it reduces the number of phases, which allows more green time for all left-turn movements. By removing left-turn movements at the at-grade intersection, it will reduce the number of phases, which allows more green time to all through movements.

• Grade-separated for all left-turns movements. All left-turn movements have one left-turn lane, except the southbound left-turn movement which has two left-turn lanes.
• Two signals, one for the at-grade movements and one for the grade-separated movements.
• All through and right-turn movements remain at-grade.
• The at-grade movements for the eastbound and westbound approaches consist of four through lanes and one right-turn lane.
• The at-grade movements for the northbound and southbound approaches consist of two through lanes and one right-turn lane with the northbound right-turn lane being channelized.
