Colorado Springs: City releases study regarding possible roundabout at Platte, Nevada Avenues
TelAve News/10864392
~ The City of Colorado Springs has released the findings of a recent study regarding the potential conversion of the intersection of Platte and Nevada Avenues into a roundabout. According to City Traffic Engineer Todd Frisbie, the study concluded that while it is technically feasible to construct a roundabout with a four-lane Nevada Avenue and a two-lane Platte Avenue, it would not be advisable to move forward with the project at this time.
Frisbie explained that during peak hours, westbound queues would extend past Weber, making it difficult for traffic to flow smoothly. Additionally, initial cost estimates for the construction of a roundabout were deemed to be prohibitively expensive, ranging from $5-6 million.

Furthermore, Frisbie noted that plans for Palmer High School by District 11 and potential impacts on Boulder Street, another important east-west corridor, would result in higher traffic volumes on Platte Avenue. As a result, their analysis showed that in order to accommodate this increased traffic flow, Platte Avenue would need to have two lanes in each direction through the roundabout. This would significantly increase the size and cost of the project.
In conclusion, Frisbie stated that due to limited space in the corridor and the need for two lanes in each direction on Platte Avenue, it is not feasible to construct a two-lane roundabout in the east-west direction at this time. The City will continue to explore alternative solutions for improving traffic flow at this intersection.
