Five Points Improvement Project

by Jennifer L. Solt

The initial design for the new Five Points roundabout, prepared by local architecture firm, Seay Seay & Litchfield, was presented by Landscape Architect Casey Ivy to a group of City planners, local developers and Cottage Hill historic foundation board members on August 27th at City Hall.

Redeveloping Five Points as a Demonstration Area was called for in the Dover Kohl plan as an immediate project, and construction is scheduled to begin in November of this year.

Plans for the roundabout include a 68' central green space, cobblestone or brick pavers on the traffic loop, tree-lined streets and "EastChase-style" speed humps to slow traffic coming into the cirle.
