To whom it may concern-
I couldn’t find the best place to send this email so I hope this gets to the right place. I live on the corner of Rose
Street and Hunters way. There used to be a 4 way stop here and a few months ago they changed to a mini traffic
circle.
I understand that these are supposed to be safer and slow people down. But compared to a 4 way stop, drivers are
flying by this intersection like they never used to. My window looks out directly on the intersection so I see it all
day long.
There are also a good amount of cars that just cut the corner if they’re turning left. I have a 2 and 4 year old and one
car cut the corner and slammed on the breaks as we were crossing the street.
I heard this was a test run and they are changing back to a 4 way stop this winter. I hope this is true and please keep
it a 4 way stop. The traffic is so much slower. The traffic circles are not wide enough to slow anyone down.
Thank you-
