With all the talk about roundabouts and road construction on State Route 91 lately, it can be easy to get confused about what's going on. Twinsburg Patch talked with Twinsburg Engineer Amy Mohr to get answers to the most common questions folks ask. Twinsburg Patch: Is the SR 91 project with roundabouts a "done deal?"

Plans barely move forward on construction of SR 91, not yet a "done deal."
Twinsburg City Council President Ted Yates said plans to construct roundabouts at two intersections on State Route 91 are not a "done deal."

After an unsuccessful meeting on Oct. 20, city officials want to give a more formal presentation in February
After a public meeting on Oct. 20, Twinsburg residents weren't too excited about the two planned roundabouts on SR 91. That's why the mayor and city council members said at a caucus meeting Monday, they thought it would be best to have another public meeting, with a more formal presentation on the plans, tentitavely planned for February. The plans would widen SR 91 from Post Road north to the Solon city limit and building two modern roundabouts at the Glenwood Drive and Ethans Drive/Meadowood Boulevard intersections. The GPD Group, the engineering firm working on the project, gave a formal presentation during a caucus meeting, which was open to the public, bringing council members up to speed on the project and the comments from the Oct. …

k, Scott, one more time: I am not conconcerned about the main, rouncabout interesection.
