Roundabout coming soon to Colonial Drive and Oglethorpe Ave.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Funding approved by City Council

Brookhaven, GA, Aug. 20, 2018 – A roundabout at Colonial Drive and Oglethorpe Avenue in Brookhaven Heights will become a reality soon thanks to a unanimous vote by Brookhaven City Council authorizing $106,000 for the project.

This will be the final piece of a resolution passed by the City Council in 2016 that was created in the wake of a multi-faceted traffic improvement study for the city. Roundabouts are not a new traffic calming solution for Brookhaven. A similar one is located on Hermance Drive and a future roundabout is planned for the intersection of Osborne Road and Windsor Parkway.

“Once the roundabout is completed, a traffic study will be done to determine how well it is working,” said Public Works Director Hari Karikaran. “Based on the number of traffic calming options available, it was determined that the roundabout was the best solution for existing problems at this particular intersection.”
