Winona Lake roundabout that will improve safety and traffic flow

WINONA LAKE — The Town of Winona Lake has planned to improve the intersection of Winona Ave, Argonne Road, Kings Highway and Park Avenue.

This intersection is the physical intersection of Warsaw and Winona Lake and welcomes visitors between the two towns, but is congested and can be difficult to traverse. The unusual approach angles and dominant turning motions make it ideal for a roundabout design.

The goals in mind are to increase traffic efficiency and safety through one of the most important intersections in the community for approximately 15,748 vehicles daily. The roundabout will provide for a safer bicycle and pedestrian connection, it will enhance safety and reduce the number of accidents at the intersection, it will improve traffic flow and the landscaping and bridge enhancement will give opportunity for public art displays.
