A roundabout is a type of circular intersection where motorists travel in one direction around a central island. The roundabout would be very similar to the one recently constructed at Sunshine Boulevard and 23rd Street West. Roundabouts have been used in other countries for several decades, and research of roundabouts has refined the concept of a traffic circle into a design that has gained wider acceptance. Funding is currently available to construct this project.<\/p>\n<p>Total construction cost for a roundabout at Beth Stacey Boulevard and Business Way is estimated at $500,000. While the initial cost to construct a roundabout is greater than the cost to upgrade this intersection (adding traffic signals and turn lanes), the savings is realized in operation and maintenance costs. Additional savings is also achieved through a reduction in travel delays and crashes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u00a0Lee County Department of Transportation (LC DOT) is holding a public information workshop for a concept to construct a roundabout at the intersection of Beth Stacey Boulevard and Business&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6448"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6448\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
