Roundabout at College Avenue and McKellips Road - 5408821 - City of Tempe

The City of Tempe's Transportation Division is tasked with providing residents and visitors with a safe and efficient transportation system. As part of a continuing transportation safety program, Traffic Engineering staff proactively identifies potential locations within the City that could benefit from the implementation of traffic safety measures. The intersection of College Avenue and McKellips Road is currently controlled by a traffic signal. Traffic Engineering staff recently met with local neighborhoods and received feedback from residents requesting traffic calming on College Avenue. Traffic Engineering staff is recommending the construction of a modern roundabout as an alternative to the existing traffic signal. Roundabouts are being constructed nationwide and have proven safety benefits and reduced maintenance costs when compared to traffic signals. Roundabouts also have sustainability benefits since they have no need for electricity and don't require replacement of aging equipment.This project will include ADA Transition Plan identified repairs.
