Mason Township's "Five Points" intersection
planned to be replaced with roundabout in 2016
WHAT:
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is holding an open house to discuss the planned installation of a roundabout at the "Five Points" intersection of US-12, Old M-205 and Five Points Road in Mason Township, Cass County.
WHO:
MDOT representatives
Residents
Business owners
WHEN:
5 – 7 p.m.
Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2015
WHERE:
Mason Township Hall
17049 US-12
Edwardsburg
Special accommodations: 269-641-5923
BACKGROUND:
There were 20 crashes at the Five Points intersection between January 2010 and August 2014. Four of those crashes involved serious injuries or fatalities. Three alternative options were considered by MDOT and Cass County officials. The roundabout option was chosen because of the safety benefits and minimal amount of property needed. The project is scheduled for 2016.
