The City of Oroville is excited to announce that is has applied for $1 million in federal funding for preliminary engineering work for a roundabout at the Oro Dam Blvd / Orange Ave / Acacia Ave intersection.

This project could replace the current signalized intersection with a modern roundabout and add important pedestrian and bicycle improvements. These upgrades would help improve traffic flow, enhance multimodal safety, and support a cleaner, safer, and more efficient transportation network for our community.

Funding to complete this essential preliminary engineering work would be a major step forward. It would position the City to compete for future state and federal construction funding.

The City should know the results of this application in July or August.
