Project Components - Fairmont Lake Avenue Improvements

Traffic control at the Downtown Plaza intersection is just one component of the project to improve safety on Lake Avenue/Blue Earth Avenue. The road will be reduced from four to three lanes, which wil... While I have come to like roundabouts, I do not like the mini-roundabouts in St. James. They look too much like other regular intersections. Twice while going through them I've nearly been hit by a vehicle who came into the intersection when they did not have the right-of-way. Roundabouts seem to be ideal for rural intersections. I'm not sure I feel the same about urban areas with tight quarters.
It looks like you can not drop people off in front of opera house.You would be blocking traffic.
I only see roundabouts in high traffic areas never in pedestrian areas. With the people that park downtown and walk to opera house, people are gunna be getting hit. Driving threw a roundabout your watching for traffic not people. It might be good at Bixby corner but not in town where there is alot of foot traffic
The Mankato round abouts work good because they are multiple lanes. Single lanes not so much.
I am personally a huge fan of roundabouts. It only takes a few days to get used to them and traffic flow is excellent. Hoping to see this go through!
Roundabouts are a GOOD THING! They improve traffic flow, so you will spend less time waiting. They are safer because even though they dont decrease the number of accidents, the accidents that will happen wont kill anyone. People who don't like roundabouts are people who haven't lived in a city with them. Safer? Faster? Sign me up
I was really hoping our town would be smart enough not to fall into the roundabout craze. I guess that is one way to get most of us to avoid the area.
Am I the only one who feels they are pushing for a roundabout? My kids walk Blue Earth and lake avenue a lot and they already have to deal with drivers not paying attention to pedestrian walk ways. a roundabout is only going to make it worse 🤦
3 lanes good. I like the traffic control change at main/1st/lake. Roundabout bad!
Can semis safely travel through this size round about? Farmers need to travel through town to get to the ethanol plant West of town.
They can take that roundabout and shove it up their ass
Oh no - not a roundabout
519 N Hampton hasn't been cleared since first snow. It's a school bus stop.
Who shovel's the property that the city owns? I know of 2 place that finally got shoveled last week.
We deliver the photo press and lots of sidewalks don't seem to get cleared. And not salted. Have slipped a few times on them
The city can charge neighboring property owners of delinquent properties the cost of snow removal from that delinquent property?
What about when the plow throughs it back on the sidewalk after its been cleared
Right on!
