The dates on the timeline are all in 2010, does this mean this is much further forward than what is on here?

I like the roundabout, it’s about time WV installed something intelligent. I’m not sure about having to go all the way down to one, making a 180 and back in order to make a Left turn though.

I don’t know why a mountable median would be the preferred choice.  As I see it:

Turning lanes provide:

immediate left turn opportunity,

ability to cross 1 direction of traffic and wait to merge when,

Bicycle Board Members,

Attached is a flyer that describes the proposed Mileground improvement that the MPO and WVDOH settled on.  You'll see that it is 4 lanes with a a sidewalk on one side, "mountable" divider and roundabouts at 705 and Airport Blvd..  

Mileground property owners are campaigning to eliminate the sidewalk and for a center turn lane instead of a mountable divider.  

Please communicate with Bill Austin for questions or comments.

FYI, a mountable divider enables emergency vehicles to cross it but discourages most motor vehicles from crossing it.
