Tell Milton What You Think of its Hopewell-Birmingham Roads Intersection Plans Today

Milton City Council plans to discuss the concept plans in a meeting that follows the open house at 5 p.m.

What's better, a roundabout or turn lanes with a traffic signal? Milton will let city residents study and comment on two concepts for improvements to the Hopewell-Birmingham roads intersection late this afternoon in an open house. City Council will immediately discuss the intersection in a work session that follows the open house.

Public Meetings Wednesday, Nov. 14

  • 5-6 p.m. – Open House
  • 6 p.m.  – Milton City Council Work Session
  • Milton City Council Chambers

The two concepts being presented as change include turn signals with a traffic signal and a roundabout.

The intersection's lack of left turn lanes causes delays, said Sara Leaders, traffic engineer for the city. Sight distance issues caused by the steep grade also are a problem. And the large number of left turning vehicles on Hopewell as well is a huge issue, she said.

View the concept alternatives for the intersection improvements – and see the current status of the intersection – in the pdf files that accompany this article. Or visit online, where the city plans to add more project information, displays and traffic simulations.
