  4. Project History • TIA in Aug. 2009 • intersection needs improvements • March 31, 2011 – Selected for Master Contract project • Mid June 2011 work order is approved • Late June 2011 survey completed • OPM held Sept. 27, 2011 • 30% plans completed Dec. 12, 2011 • 1 Signalized design • 1 Roundabout design • PIM No. 1 on Feb. 8, 2012 • ICE approval on June 6, 2012 • Roundabout recommended

  5. Design process • Original thought presented at OPM: • Center the Roundabout, show historic school house impact (basis for design) • Was told any design involving historic properties must be feasible and leave historic property intact. • Slide center of intersection NE within both options • Multiple iterations and discussions with Ourston on Roundabout design • October thru early December 2011 • 1 Signalized design and 1 Roundabout design submitted to Department and Village for comments (seen in agenda package)

  6. 1 Signalized Intersection

  7. 2 Roundabout Intersection

  8. 3 PIM No. 1, Feb. 8, 2012 42 attendees signed in

  9. 4 PIM No. 1 comments / themes • 12 comment forms turned in; comments include: • 1) Concern for speed on 145, mentioned roundabout could help this • 2) One misunderstood roundabout to be 2 lane with need to switch lanes • 3) 3 liked the roundabout idea, 1 liked safety of Roundabout • 4) 7 said no roundabout, multiple mentioning lower cost of signal option • (incorrect assumption) • Signal = $1.9 million • Roundabout = $1.4 million • 5) Concerns about utility lines, trees and ability to make left out of driveway • 6) Waste Mgmt – desires signal or 50% larger Roundabout • 7) 1 thought – signal easier on semi’s and garbage trucks • 8) 2 concerned about space required for roundabout • 9) 1 said go with signal due to cost (see above #’s) • Shared with stakeholders on Feb. 9, 2012 via synopsis / overview doc.

  10. 4 ICE Review • 9 different areas within chart, operational analysis shown below.

  11. 4 ICE Review, continued • Signal LOS = C Roundabout LOS = B • Signal Delay = 34 seconds Roundabout Delay = 14 seconds

  12. 5

  13. 6 Project initiation

  14. 7 Some items initiating project

  15. 8 TIA recommendations

  16. 9 Roundabouts VS Signals

  17. 1 Present design (Roundabout) • Safety • Speed reduction through use of Chicane

  18. 1 Present design (Roundabout) • Right-of-way impacts • Similar for both options

  19. 1 Present design (Roundabout) • Access – lost with signal but not with Rdbt.

  20. 1 Village comments desired • Can help better design • Now or later, form provided
