I see the plan overview calls for a future roundabout at the intersection of Woodgate and East Oak Grove Roads. Why isn’t this being built now with the road project?

The city wishes to construct a roundabout at this intersection; however, the city has not secured all of the necessary rights of way on the north side of East Oak Grove and does not currently have enough capital funds to construct it. A roundabout at this location is expected to cost approximately $1M. To avoid delaying the overall project, the city plans to move forward with the realignment roadway project to solve many of the immediate traffic issues experienced in the area and complete the first step in what will ultimately become a two-step solution. The city will then work on traffic analyses, plans, and land acquisitions for a future roundabout as funds and development opportunities allow. Although some motorists may avoid the East Oak Grove/Woodgate intersection by using Ogden, Odelle, or Venture, long queues are still possible at this intersection until a roundabout is constructed.
