You are right, they are now considered trendy.

Our town just put one in and got an award - like you say it had pedestrian and cycle lanes for sustainability.

Town recognized for new roundabout

The Northern/Hardy Roundabout in Oro Valley was selected as the Outstanding Small Project of the Year by Arizona's chapter of the American Public Works Association.

The five-way roundabout traffic circle at West Hardy Road and North Northern Avenue was completed in the summer of 2010 for about $800,000.

The project will be recognized at an award banquet March 30.
