Pleasant Hill Road/Olympic Boulevard Roundabout
Pleasant Hill Road/Olympic Boulevard Roundabout
Project Summary
I joined in the latter stages of preliminary engineering (PE) and design for this project: the first traffic roundabout in the City of Lafayette. A recommended outcome from the prior Pleasant Hill Road-Olympic Boulevard Corridor Study [link], this groundbreaking redesign and reconstruction of the Pleasant Hill Road/Olympic Boulevard intersection incorporated multimodal considerations, including active transportation safety, with additional user safety cues, such as retroreflective signage, "soft" bollards at crossing mid-points, pedestrian crossing medians, and maximized sight distance accommodations - particularly for entry and exit points.
