Roundabout plan renewed for Urbana corner

In late 2016, after a multi-fatality crash at the IA 150 curve west of Urbana, the DOT started looking at ways to change the intersection.

The first was a simple, obvious intersection. Traffic to and from Urbana (old IA 363) would have the right of way through the intersection. Then, in 2017, a roundabout was thrown into the mix.

Now, with the curve replacement scheduled for 2022, the latest proposal has junked the intersection for a refined roundabout. There is an online public meeting that allows for comments but here’s the direct YouTube link.

Given the time frame, it’s probably too late to ask them to go back to the regular intersection. Sigh.
