Waldon Rd. & Clintonville Rd.

Independence Township, MI

  • BACKGROUND + SUMMARY

    MTJ Roundabout Engineering was retained to evaluate the feasibility of a roundabout at this highly constrained intersection.

    Three alternatives were developed to evaluate optimal size/shape and fit with acceptable impacts. Alternative concepts addressed these key issues:

    -Minimize/avoid undesirable ROW impacts to surrounding properties

    -Ensure compatibility with existing and/or proposed roadway cross sections, including ped and bike design features such as cycle track style buffered bike lane

    -Accommodate necessary design vehicles:

    -Large trucks/freight

    -Transit and school buses

    -Emergency response/fire trucks

Highlights

  • Minimized undesirable ROW impacts to surrounding properties

  • Compatible with existing roadway cross sections, including ped/bike design features

  • Accommodated large trucks, transit/school buses, emergency response vehicles
