COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Another busy Columbus roadway could be getting a roundabout.

NBC 4 reported with the FAST FACTS Monday.

Franklin County Engineer Dean Ringle said the intersection at Linworth and Olentangy River roads is not safe.

Studies show injury crashes are reduced by 76 percent and fatal crashes are reduced by 90 percent where roundabouts are installed.

Construction would cost around $1.3 million.

You can attend a public comment session on the proposed roundabout from 5 to 7 p.m. Monday at Christian Community Church North, 5586 Olentangy River Rd.
