Project Overview
As part of the James and Bakerview Intersection Improvements project (ES473), the existing intersection of James St. and Bakerview Road will be reconstructed as one multimodal roundabout to improve safety, efficiency, and access for all transportation modes, including freight.
Due to significant delay, poor level of service, lengthy vehicle queues, and lack of physical storage space for left-turning vehicles from James to Bakerview, the intersection currently presents safety concerns. As development continues and traffic volumes increase, intersection level of service and delay will continue to degrade with the potential for increased risk of traffic collisions.
Construction of this project is likely to occur in Spring 2025.
Project Status – April 2024
Accomplishments:
- Design is nearly complete with a re-design of the stormwater treatment system.
- Right-of-way process is nearly complete, and permits have been submitted. The project is being adapted to allow for recent roundabout design techniques. Design is scheduled to be completed in August 2024, with construction likely to begin in Spring of 2025.
