U City's Mock Roundabout Is Open: How Is Your Drive?

The new trial traffic design will help the city determine if a roundabout would help traffic flow in the historic plaza area.

The City of University City has completed construction on the mock roundabout at Delmar Blvd. and Trinity.

Rich Wilson, Director of Public Works and Parks, told Patch things seem to be moving well in the area so far.  

The temporary design consists of about 1,400 feet of asphalt curbing along the edges of Trinity and Delmar and the edges of splitter islands.

Concrete planters and reflective safety barrels are in the inner circle of the roundabout. New pavement markings and signs also were be added to guide pedestrian and vehicle traffic. 

The mock roundabout will be up for at least 30 days while the city evaluates traffic and pedestrian safety. The results will be given to city officials so that a determination may be made on the construction of a permanent roundabout.
