I was impressed at how easy navigating around the area was. The roundabouts were a new thing to me.

Grrrr. Most of us hate the round abouts. My husband and I (with the help of some neighbors) sucessfully stopped a proposed round about in our neighborhood. We’re not Luddites. We just don’t like the round abouts in snow and ice. And the infrastructure for stop lights was already inn for the intersection.

The state has a policy (instituted before Walker) that all intersection improvements have to be considered for round abouts first. I think it’s just an engineering make-work project. They are putting one in near here that is completely blocking a popular gas station during construction. I think that it will still interfere with business after it is done because it is too small and tight. The poor gas station is dying. We went there yesterday just to give them some business, and they gave us free coffee and milk on sale 2 gal. for $4.
