Samenvatting
The intersection of Blue Lake Boulevard/Chartin Way in the County of Humboldt, California, is controlled by a modern roundabout, which opened in August of 2002. The intersection serves as the gateway to the City of Blue Lake, a small rural community about 8 miles east of Humboldt Bay, and a transitional point between the town and the freeway interchange. The intersection also serves as the primary access point for an Indian Casino facility which funded the installation of the roundabout. This paper provides a narrative of the project initiation, public review process, design issues, construction phasing and outcome of the project.
