STEVENS POINT — Three months and over $2 million dollars later, Stevens Point welcomed their first roundabout to the city on Wednesday, a day earlier than anticipated.
Located on Northpoint Drive and Division Street, this is the second roundabout in Portage County, with the other in Plover on Maple Road and Highway 54. The ultimate goal was to complete the roundabout by the time students would return to school for this year, and such a goal was met.
Studies show that roundabouts can reduce accidents by up to 75 percent, though some drivers have been hesitant about navigating the circle, safely.
