In response to the feedback we received from the neighborhood association and vested property owners, the City will be pausing the development of the Elmwood/Underwood roundabout project through the current Capital Improvement Program cycle. We appreciate the participation and feedback we have received, and look forward to the opportunity to further study this corridor for future traffic calming and multi-modal safety improvements.
