Just another pork barreled cockamamie idea of Tumwater's. Maybe Tumwater should be renamed "Roundabout'..because instead of fixing roads, the city builds roundabouts. Then, as Citizen mentions, fails to maintain them. Whomever designs the roundabouts builds them up in the middle so you can't see oncoming traffic. Duh....
I bet my boots the roundabouts will be too small for the big semi's that come through there. There's a roundabout in Lacey on Pacific and Golf Course that routinely sees the semis taking up the entire two lanes and side swiping either the curb or the poor schmo in the car in the lane next to it.
Notice how the term "short term pain" is used. Short termed to me means a day and half. To Tumwater, I guess short term means a decade. Do the people who green lighted this stupid idea actually USE this intersection? I doubt it.
Roundabout Fever strikes again.
