Project Description

The Roundabout at Cliff Drive and Las Positas Road began construction in November of 2016 and was completed in April of 2017; on time and within budget. The old stop-controlled intersection experienced recurring congestion and queuing during the busy commute hours. The new roundabout improves traffic flow at the intersection and reduces congestion, while reducing fuel consumption and emissions. The improved intersection enhances safety for all modes of travel. The roundabout has been designed for future connectivity to proposed future pathways along Las Positas Road and Cliff Drive. The project also includes new street lights, landscaping, storm water treatment facilities, and a new MTD bus stop.
