Let's add round abouts, they're current answer to all traffic problems, there must be a consultant for that.

I still believe they'll add a consultant on consulting before the people say "ENOUGH!"

Well I am taking bets on the fact that this store will never happen!! Those high paid "consultants" are going to make sure Hy-Vee wins all. Don't get me wrong... love my Hy-Vee but a Kwik Trip out on this side of town would be an awesome addition and I think there is plenty of business to go around for the Kwik Trip and the newly expanded Hy-Vee gas. Come on people!!! Let both businesses thrive!!!!

Mankato is adding one where the old Hwy 14 and 22 meet, right by Snell (old Menard's).  Dumbest idea ever!
In my travels I find that roundabouts work good with low traffic area where a stop light would not be necessary but a stop sign would slow traffic needlessly.  
In higher traffic areas roundabouts are the absolute worst.
I'd love to see a study that says they are more efficient and/or have less traffic accidents in this case.

what is the problem with the right turn lanes? tiger hills has one & for what maybe 20 houses! loves truck & auto station has them as well as trails. getting rid of the service road seems to be going backwards imho! i think that is the main problem with the north bridge situation, the lack of service roads with the limited access to bridge ave. the original layout was flawed. just like the plaza street entry onto bridge st when it was last revised! what this community needs is some comprehensive planning with the future in mind! line up these intersections & be done with the offset ones like at richway & bridge. install some intelligent signals that can tell that no vehicle is in the left turn lane! there has been enough accidents at the intersection out by the skyline mall. why not eliminate them & install a roundabout with stop signs at each intersection. random thoughts!  :cool:

My question is "how much more goes into maintaining these roundabouts as compared to a regular intersection?"

I go around the one at Medford, near the outlet mall from time to time with a semi, what a pain in the arse. :dunce:
