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.
PS - a lot of locals are confused by it and stop before entering...:^)
did they have stimulus signs proclaming the roundabout provided 1,000 shovel ready jobs?
