Understanding the Footprint

The true impact of the proposed roundabout becomes evident when we examine its extensive footprint. Spanning far beyond what is necessary, the design uses the same wide lanes and large splitter islands on every approach, including low-traffic roads like Countryside Drive. This approach encroaches on private properties and intrudes into environmentally sensitive floodplain areas. This page aims to break down the total size of the project, illustrating the significant land and environmental impact. Through detailed graphics and overlay comparisons with smaller, more efficient designs, we’ll highlight how adopting a reduced footprint isn’t just practical—it’s essential for preserving the character and well-being of our community.
