Minot City Council approves funding for roundabout at 6th St. and 2nd Ave. SW
Minot leaders are weighing long-term traffic needs as the Maple Diversion flood protection project draws near, and their latest decision points to a solution that draws lots of community chatter: a roundabout. The City Council unanimously approved funding to revise design plans at Sixth Street and Second Avenue Southwest, adding a circular intersection meant to ease future delays and avoid costlier fixes down the road. The discussion revealed mixed feelings, from neighbors’ past frustrations to engineers’ confidence that roundabouts remain safer and economical than traditional signals. Jill Schramm with Minot Daily News has the full story.
