The recommended intersection <br />treatrnent was a singie-lane roundabout for the intersection of the future <br />connector road and Eubanks Road to provide superlative ~affic <br />operations and to control ttavel speeds near the school site on Eubankc <br />Road. Traffic simulation was performed utilizing VISSIM ~soflware to <br />modei future traffic conditions with the schools in place and traffic <br />diversion due to the connector roadway, while also accommodating <br />significant truck traffc along Eubanks Road. M/A/B provided the <br />functional design for the rounda.bout, including critical elements such as <br />the inscribed diameter, lane widths sidewalk locations, bike lane <br />treahnents, <br />splitter <br />islands, <br />and apron <br />design. <br />Page 24 <br />Southern Orange Campus Master Plan <br />
