TRAFFIC CIRCLE

I submitted the poll results for "what should be in the center of the traffic circle?" to Jessie Levine and the selectmen. I hope they will choose to comment on the blog (I kinda doubt it though;) A little boy peeing got 38% of the vote, a fountain got 23% wildflowers, post office poles and call it a roundabout got 15% each.  Only one vote for concrete barriers, although one certainly could include landscaping to tie those  barriers to the "natural" environment.  13 whole votes...this blog is really taking off.  Oh, maybe we should have included planting corn in the center as an option...we could get the subsidy!

So, here is a quote from the Alternate Street design website:"roundabouts slow all vehicles, provide refuges for pedestrians and are the only traffic control device in which trees can be planted, fountains can bubble or spray and statues can sparkle into the next century." (and potentially produce the raw material for processed food and earn money for the town in the process:)
