Both intersections are currently stop controlled with full access to and from 4th Street. There are high vehicle speeds on 4th Street, and traffic has a hard time finding gaps to make turns. These attributes pose a safety risk for increased crashes. Due to the steep grade on Mesa Park Road and skew angle at 4th Street, a study was required to develop options for safety and operational improvements.
Alternative A – Traffic Signal at both Intersections
Alternative B – Roundabout at Woodland Avenue with a median at Mesa Park Road to control access
