 As part of a traffic calming initiative suggested by the Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) and the Route 50 Traffic Planning Task Force, the suggestion was made to replace the signalized intersection with several roundabouts.As of May 2008, a connector road to the east of Gilbert's Corner on Route 50 was being constructed to intersect Route 15 south of the existing intersection.Roundabouts were to be used rather than traffic lights.
