SMC/Degroff Traffic Pattern Change
10/04/2019
Effective immediately, the City and Borough of Sitka (CBS) Public Works Department, with the approval of the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities (ADOT&PF), has changed the manner in which westbound traffic on Sawmill Creek Road can access DeGroff Street. Vehicles entering DeGroff must now turn right beyond the gravel island as shown on the figure. This had been a one-way, exit-only lane for DeGroff traffic entering Sawmill Creek Road. Traffic may NOT cross the new “fog line” painted through the previous entrance to DeGroff Street, to the east of the gravel island. Traffic entering DeGroff Street will have the right-of-way relative to traffic on DeGroff. CBS will be removing the orange barriers and installing flexible delineators and new street signs to complete the reconfiguration.
Traffic exiting DeGroff must also use the route west of the gravel island. Click here to view the map.
The new traffic pattern will mimic the proposed reconfiguration of the intersection by ADOT&PF, scheduled for 2021. ADOT&PF has proposed to convert the “island” to a “peninsula,” which will reduce the speed of westbound SMC traffic entering DeGroff, a busy residential street.
Please call Public Works at 747-1804 with any questions.
