Preliminary survey results indicate that most Burlington residents favor a single-lane roundabout as the preferred design for the south end of the Cascade Bridge replacement project, according to the city's Public Works Director and Assistant City Manager Nick MacGregor. The city council meeting also discussed potential design features like guardrail styles and incorporating elements of the existing bridge into the entrance of Dankwardt Park.

Why it matters

The Cascade Bridge is a key transportation link in Burlington, and the replacement project presents an opportunity to improve traffic flow and safety at the south end of the bridge. The public input process helps ensure the final design reflects the community's priorities.
