The long line of cars that backs up Las Positas Road at Cliff Drive during rush hour will encounter work beginning next week to build a roundabout at the intersection. Designed to be of minimal size for truck and bus passage, the single-lane circle should decrease congestion once it’s completed, which is anticipated to be before St. Patrick’s Day. The design accommodates pedestrian and bicycle traffic and looks to connect with a future bike lane or path along Cliff Drive. Eight new streetlights, 20 feet tall to reduce glare into nearby homes, will replace the three currently on-site.
