This will be very similar to what they have at 33 and 664 near Logan. It does a great job of moving the traffic through the area.

Hell of a lot more traffic in Logan than The Plains. Seems unnecessary to me. I use that exit a lot and have never encountered congestion.

This is embarrassing. In the last few days I've found me myself agreeing with you, bobcatsquared and BLSS on various subjects. In this case, I've also never had a problem at that exit. A place that a roundabout it more needed is the intersection of the freeway exit and Stimson Avenue extended, just past the roundabout near the Mill Street Apartments, or whatever they are calling it now.

Issue with fatal crashes there could do it. If it saves 3 lives is it worth the 10 million to put one in?

My wife drives to and from The Plains for work 5 days a week and often mentions the backups on the exit. Not sure about the solution but something needed done. Now the one at Stimson and the highway is fine, never have a problem there.

OK. It appears I was wrong about the need for that roundabout. Not the first time, and probably not the last time.

It costs 10 million to put in a roundabout? Is it gold-plated?

Right wing zealot has no idea how much roads and maintenance actually cost. Imagine that. You aren’t getting out of any road improvement project for under $5 million, much less tearing up an intersection.

Left wing moron blindly accepts outrageous costs without ever questioning it. And quickly devolves a reasonable discussion into childish name calling. Imagine that.

Who didn't question it? Maybe if you slap a tariff on the building materials you can make it cost 15 Million instead of the original 10. Or you can make idle threats that result in absolutely nothing. Dumbass.

It seems like Bobcat Love thinks everybody should pay way more for things than they're worth.
