Council to Discuss New Roundabout

New roundabout could be put in next summer

On Monday, Troy City Council will be asked to approve a $175,000 contract with American Structurepoint to design a new roundabout at the intersection of Adams Street/Staunton Road/Riverside Drive. The design of the roundabout should be completed by next spring, with construction taking place during the summer. A more detailed discussion on the roundabout design contract is below:

The City has been discussing this roundabout, shortly after the successful installation of a similar roundabout at McKaig Avenue and Dorset Road. The City’s approach seems to be to install roundabouts on four-way stop intersections that have multiple-lanes coming into the intersection.

It should also be noted that the last time the City Council talked about roundabouts was almost exactly one year ago, when the City Council’s Committee of the Whole discussed installing a new roundabout at the intersection of West Main Street and Experiment Farm Road/South Stanfield Road.

At Monday’s meeting, City Council will also be introduced to this year’s Youth Council members, made up of elementary aged children that have shown an interest in leadership and local affairs. Council will also adopt a resolution adopting local property tax levies and an ordinance accepting the final plat of Section 7 of the Halifax Subdivision and accepting public right-of-ways.
