This proposed level of traffic is less than many other residential roads that serve as collector streets. The following are a list of residential streets that function similar to County Road B, west of Cleveland Avenue, with higher volumes of traffic.

The current cul-de-sac is a 100-foot diameter cul-de-sac installed in 2010 after County Road B access to TH 280 was removed in 2007 due to the 35W bridge collapse. Staff is aware that some large trucks do on occasion drive down County Road B looking to access TH 280 and some do use the cul-de-sac as a turn around. The intersection at Cleveland is posted with two signs “No Outlet”. With the 2024 reconstruction planned for County Road B between Eustis and Cleveland, staff is looking into designs to make the entrance to this neighborhood look more residential and less like a former county road. Over time as maps and GPS units get updated less truck traffic will also be directed down the road. With these measures in place there is no need to maintain a large diameter cul-de-sac for stray vehicles into perpetuity. If this was a new street, staff would not design for these types of vehicles in residential neighborhoods.
