The Downtown Lancaster Roundabouts project is underway!  The intent of the project is to replace the signalized intersections at Central Avenue/Pleasant Avenue and Aurora Street/Pleasant Avenue  with landscaped roundabouts.  These new intersection treatments will reduce congestion and emissions, while improving pedestrian safety and advance downtown revitalization efforts.  The project will also include the investigation and design of a “Complete Street” along Pleasant Avenue to better serve pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users.
​
 A series of public engagement events will start the project to gather input from the community.  This information will inform the preliminary design which will be presented to the public in the spring for another chance to provide comments.  The final design will then be completed in late 2020, with construction anticipated to start in spring 2021.
 
Project Facts:
  • Funding for the project is provided by the Federal Highway Administration Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) program.
  • Roundabouts are the preferred alternative to signalized intersections as they reduce crash severity and delay.
  • Roundabouts improve pedestrian safety as pedestrians need to watch only one direction of traffic at a time.  The slow speeds of roundabouts also allow drivers and pedestrians more time to react to one another.
  • Complete Streets include accommodations for all users of the roadway, including pedestrians, cyclists, transit users and automobiles.
