We are proposing a roundabout at the Lake Wheeler and South Saunders Street intersection. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 as the highest and 1 as the lowest please rate your support of this feature.
Average 81 / 100
I think Maywood and Lake Wheeler should be considered for a roundabout. Its increasing more difficult to turn from Maywood onto Lake Wheeler in either direction since the opening of the new Farmer's Market access and the artificial bottleneck of forcing cars into one northbound lane at Centennial. Of all the intersections on Lake Wheeler in this stretch, this is the only one not being mentioned for improvements.

One additional point. The entrance to the Farmer's market is also a point of congestion, especially for traffic coming off Maywood onto Lake Wheeler road, then changing lanes to turn right into the Farmer's Market. Perhaps one of those elongated traffic circles could include the Farmer's Market intersection as well.

I agree about need for roundabout at Maywood

These and most of the lake wheeler plans only look at cars and the park. There’s an entire neighborhood on the other side of the street. People live in those houses and have to use that street for their daily lives. These residents, who will be first— and most active — users of the street and the park need more consideration in these plans. Roundabouts aren’t a solution. Learn from the mess that is Hillsborough street.

Sidewalks are the biggest need here. A proper pedestrian crossing at Maywood and Goode. Sidewalks need to go all the way from centennial to south Saunders. Traffic is not a major issue here pedestrian safety is!

With the new Daladams Street extension into the park and the long-term goal of having Umstead Drive a pedestrian-only entrance, we propose making Umstead Drive a right-in, right-out only street. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 as the highest and 1 as the lowest please rank you support for the proposed right-in, right-out intersection at Umstead Drive.
Average 82 / 100
This seems perfectly reasonable. Currently this is a dangerous spot, and having the option of turning left in or out of Umstead drive adds complexity to the situation. Fully support limiting vehicular access here.

Honestly doesn’t matter to me on the turning but please MAKE A SIDEWALK FROM SOUTH SAUNDERS TO CENTENNIAL!

So is it going to be pedestrian-only or is it still going to have vehicular access? This is confusing to me.

Yes

I am not sure how it will affect events as it is currently a staff entry point for dreamville
