East 14 Street Striping and Pedestrian Improvements Acceptance of Work 2 May 16, 2011 The project also included the installation of a roundabout at the intersection of San Leandro Boulevard, Park Street, West Broadmoor Boulevard and Apricot Street. The previous large asphalt road area created by the intersection of these streets created driver confusion, leading to a high collision rate. The installation of new striping, delineators, and appropriate signage that created a roundabout will redirect vehicles entering the intersection into a circular traffic pattern to eliminate the prior existing conflicts. Including the semi - roundabout work with the striping project created a more efficient construction project and reduced costs.
