Clarification of proposed “high-speed roundabout” at Clearwater Junction

SEELEY LAKE – In the article “Roundabout at Clearwater Junction tops discussion” in the Feb. 10 issue of the Pathfinder, Robert Peccia & Association Engineering Firm Project Manager April Gerth referred to the roundabout proposed at Clearwater Junction as a “high-speed roundabout.” The project team requested clarification that the “high-speed” refers to Highway 200, not the roundabout.

The 70 mile-per-hour speed limit will start decreasing 800-1,000 feet before the roundabout. Once in the roundabout, traffic will travel at 25 miles per hour. Upon exiting the roundabout, vehicles can immediately accelerate returning to 70 mph.
