Hillsborough and Morgan Roundabout Hearing: Round 3
New designs will be presented at the third hearing on the Hillsborough and Morgan Street roundabout
tommorow
today, November 7th at 1 p.m. at the Raleigh Municipal Building, 222 West Hargett Street, in council chambers on the second floor.
At the last meeting many council members stated that the proposed roundabout plan would increase and promote traffic flow rather than calm it. Based on the council’s request from the last hearing, the engineering firm should be presenting a T-intersection option with a stop light, as well as the possibility of a roundabout without the by-pass lane.
The outcome of this roundabout design will be a precedent for future Hillsborough St. roundabouts and will affect the future growth of the Hillsborough St. / N.C. State corridor.

Yes, it is. It’s a little misleading because the article says, “they’ll consider adding a third roundabout at the intersection of Morgan and Hillsborough,” although this is actually the third public hearing and the second city council meeting to review the designs.

It actually is the “third” roundabout, since they just approved 2 others - one at Hillsborough and Pullen and one at Oberlin and (I think) Clark.
