Morgan Street Two-Way Conversion/Morgan at Hillsborough Roundabout

   Minimize

 

For the City of Raleigh, Atkins conducted alternatives analyses and engaged community stakeholders, as well as prepared plans, specifications, and estimates for the permanent conversion of Morgan Street from a one-way to a two-way traffic flow between Hillsborough and Dawson Streets in downtown Raleigh. The project included design of a new roundabout for the intersection of Morgan and Hillsborough Streets and design of a new sanitary sewer line through this intersection. Key design objectives included confining improvements to existing rights-of-way, preserving and increasing on-street parking, and enhancing pedestrian mobility and safety. The roundabout required special consideration of and accommodations for visually-impaired pedestrians.
