The Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT) is asking the public for feedback on a proposed roadwork project near downtown Gainesville.
The project would see a multi-lane roundabout installed at the intersection State Route 60 -- also known in the area as a portion of E.E. Butler Parkway and Green Street -- and Academy Street, next to the Hall County Chamber of Commerce.
"The proposal replaces the existing signalized intersection with a multi-lane roundabout for a project length of 0.3 miles," read a Monday afternoon press release from the DOT. "The roundabout would consist of a skewed central shaped island with a truck apron."
The release said the roundabout would be installed with the expectation of an overall reduction in crashes, plus improved "operation efficiency" of the intersection itself.
Feedback is being welcomed on both the proposed project and necessary detour route until January 15, and can be given by visiting the DOT's website.
