I have seen too any close calls to think they are safer then a 4 way stop. People just need to learn how to drive, and pay attention. Money would be better spent on more low income housing.

Roundabouts cause more traffic jams than well managed traffic lights. A lot of individuals do not understand how to navigate them.

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.

Peeps here don't seem to know how to use a 4 Way Stop with more than one car. Roundabouts are more efficient even with people not using their blinkers, once we get past the desire to put art in them.
Replyfour way stops are awful.
ReplyRoundabouts slow people down. Most people continually drive too fast for the conditions on city streets.
ReplyThere are a few places they would help.
