Re: Roundabout
1) Is this really necessary?
2) Assess first.
3) Plan later.
4)Faults:
a) Crosswalk from Infocenter.
i) From Infocenter to where?
ii) No consideration of the number of people at one time. We are talking tourists who are sometimes in large groups. I have seen as many as eight buses at the Infocenter.
iii) far too close to highway.
b) vehicles not shown in scale to plan.
c) video did not show line-ups of traffic.
I went to the meeting about the roundabout on Feb. 7. I talked to four representatives. One was an engineer. Three out of the four did not know it was a school crosswalk.
Parents who are concerned should teach their children road safety and consideration.
