The City of Dallas installed a temporary traffic circle at Edgefield Avenue and Ninth Street in Winnetka Heights this week.
It is a demonstration meant to determine the effects of such a change on slowing neighborhood traffic, similar to the demonstration on Jefferson that is leading to long-term changes in traffic patterns.
The circle still had cones today where the city is expected to install plastic curbs.
The demonstration is expected to last a few months. Data will be collected to determine the effect on traffic volumes and speeds.
The Winnetka Heights Neighborhood Association worked with City Councilman Chad West and the city’s Transportation Department to have the circle installed.
