During a public meeting in January, roundabouts were the recommended alternative presented for the intersections of state Route 309 at Thayer Road and state Route 309 at Napoleon Road.

The decision was made after ODOT and its consultant, Jacobs Engineering Group of Cincinnati, gathered feedback on the alternatives during stakeholder meetings and a public meeting.
