The area, known as "The Triangle," under the Highway 49 overpass at Neal and South Auburn streets, has roughly seven total streets converging from different angles.
For six years, the city has been working on a plan to make the area safer and easier to navigate. That plan includes a roundabout.
Jones said those options will be presented and discussed during Wednesday's special council meeting. The city wants the community to weigh in, but is recommending either option two or option five.
The roundabout will most likely not be round, but peanut-shaped. The $6.8 million project is fully funded, mostly through state grants.
"We really can't go back on the roundabout at this point because that's the grant-funded option," Jones said. "I think there is a learning curve to anything new, especially roundabouts. They are still relatively new to our country as a whole and California."
"It's more efficient, it's safer. There's so many benefits to roundabouts that are proven. If people can get over their initial dislike or hesitation with them, I would say I think ultimately it's a great solution," Jones said.
Construction for this project is expected to begin in 2028.
