Falmouth is considering bookending the congested business corridor of Route 28 with roundabouts in its overall plan to improve traffic in Falmouth.
A roundabout at the intersection of Sandwich Road and Route 28 would improve safety and traffic flow, John Diaz of GPI/Greenman-Pedersen Inc. told the select board at its meeting on Monday, July 12. A roundabout has previously been proposed for the intersection of Falmouth Heights Road and Route 28.
GPI/Greenman-Pedersen is working with the town department of public works on intersection designs and road widening in several areas of town.
Mr. Diaz and Falmouth Department of Public Works Director Peter M. McConarty presented an update on the project to the select board. The proposal includes changes to three problem intersections between Falmouth Heights Road and Sandwich Road.
