Winona OKs roundabouts, new budget (12/23/2020)
Here come the roundabouts. In a 5-2 vote on Monday, the Winona City Council signed off on the Minnesota Department of Transportation’s (Mn/DOT) plan to construct four roundabouts on Mankato Avenue. That includes a traffic circle at Highway 61 and Highway 43, which will be one of most, if not the most, heavily traveled in the state.
Some citizens railed against the proposal, arguing that the roundabouts would cause greater delays, lead to more accidents, or cause confusion. However, Mn/DOT traffic engineers said detailed analyses showed the traffic circles would actually reduce congestion, and in numerous state and federal studies, roundabouts have been shown to significantly reduce crashes, especially serious injuries and fatalities. Mn/DOT Project Manager Chad Hanson said the intersection of highways 61 and 43 is one of the most crash-prone intersections in Southeast Minnesota. Mankato Avenue business
