FRANKFORD-TRENTON-YORK ROUNDABOUT

Client: City of Philadelphia Department of Streets

Philadelphia, PA

 

Category J - Small Projects

The Frankford-Trenton-York Roundabout is among the first of its kind in the City of Philadelphia and others are in the design phase at a few different locations. This location was prioritized to advance into design and construction to reduce the roadway footprint and simplify the complexity of the former signalized intersection. McCormick Taylor completed the final design for the new roundabout and successfully demonstrated that a low-cost urban roundabout could be constructed within existing right-of-way, be more pedestrian friendly, and reduce speeds, emissions, and risk of severe and fatal crashes.
