The mini roundabouts suck and are dangerous. Pedestrians, esp KIDS, parents w/ baby strollers, the ELDERLY & HANDICAPPED are NOT able to safely cross at those intersections - instead, they go up the street & cross UNSAFELY in the middle of the road. Firetrucks cannot get around them & to top it all off, we in the 'hood are now regaled NIGHTLY on WEEKENDS to the sounds of cars SQUEALING while doing donuts around them. What a waste of money - guess it's too much to ask for real paved roads and maybe a traffic cop occasionally??? We seriously hope City Council reviews this again at the end of the year like they promised to - we won't hold our breath though.
