Idaho Falls leans into roundabouts for future growth

The city of Idaho Falls says it is making plans for safer and more efficient traffic flow. One of those plans includes the construction of a roundabout at the Birch Street and South Boulevard intersection.

"So, roundabouts are an intersection improvement to try to help mitigate basically safety at intersections," said Chris Canfield, Assistant Public Works Director for the city of Idaho Falls. "So they're a good solution for kind of off-aligned intersections where we have a significant skew on one approach."
