Our plan for a $2 million-plus traffic roundabout has been canceled.

The Township had been working on a plan for a roundabout in the Bramble Avenue-Plainville Road area, which could make traffic flow more easily and encourage economic-development there.  However, residents and businesses were against the plan.

“The businesses on Plainville Road and Bramble Avenue and the residents in the area of the proposed roundabout no longer support the path included in our comprehensive plan to help improve the business district and want to see something different,” Columbia Township Administrator Mike Lemon said.

“We do not want to force a project on the businesses and people that they do not want.”

The Township will update its comprehensive plan in 2016.
