THE FIRST ROUNDABOUT IN WATSONVILLE IS ABOUT TO BE CONSTRUCTED. RIGHT NOW THERE IS A 4-WAY STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF PENNSYLVANIA DRIVE AND CLIFFORD AVENUE, AND THAT’S WHERE GRANITE CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN CONTRACTED TO CONSTRUCT THE ROUNDABOUT (WHICH IS DESIGNED TO SLOW, BUT NOT STOP, TRAFFIC AS VEHICLES CIRCLE IN A COUNTER-CLOCKWISE DIRECTION UNTIL THEY REACH THEIR EXIT POINTS). THE HOPE IS THAT THE NEW TRAFFIC FEATURE WILL IMPROVE THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THE CONSTRUCTION IS SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE DURING THE UPCOMING “SUMMER BREAK”.
