Like many of you in the community, I have been following the news concerning the roundabout currently under construction at the intersection of Jeanne d’Arc and Fortune/Vineyard very closely. Last week, I spoke with Kyle Delaney, the project manager for the city of Ottawa, to ask for a clearer picture of the design of the roundabout which has been a hot topic of debate in the community.
I think there is a lot the city has got right with this considered design, and I think they have provided a diverse set of clear evidence for the decisions made so far in the traffic study, road safety audit, and FAQ documents listed on the project website.
Check out the detailed design for the intersection as it will appear when the project is complete next year. I hadn’t seen the layout of the intersection to such a level of detail, and I feel a lot better about it now.
