Why roundabout are, and should be avoided

   On June 27 The Daily Gazette had an article about the roundabouts on Route 67 in the town of Malta and the wonderful job they have done in decreasing accidents along that stretch of highway. It discussed the concept of slowing traffi c and preventing side crashes.
   I believe that the key to the success in reducing accidents is contained in the article, but not stressed. One line in the article states that people either love the roundabouts or hate them, or words to that effect. Here is the secret to the success of the roundabouts. So many people hate them that they no longer use that section of road. They fi nd alternate routes to get to their destination. Decreased traffic equals decreased accidents.
   Now that the roundabouts have been proclaimed a success, there will be a push to build more. Eventually there will be no alternate routes without roundabouts and we will see the accident rate return to normal.
   One item that was not addressed in the article is the design of the roundabouts. If you are ever traveling on the inside lane, you had better hope there is not a tractor-trailer rig alongside. The diameter of the roundabouts is so small that the big rigs cannot negotiate them without encroaching on the inner lane.

So, we will actually hear something concrete before the meeting....i think many people would be willing to participate if they knew what for..We need a better way to communicate the issues as well as progress...if we want people in numbers they need to know what is going on..

We hear nothing! Nadda! Nope! I understand that these are very busy business people orchastrating this whole thing. But without some type of communication, be it through this forum or newspaper...it will appear to be dead in the water!

All I know is what I heard while watching a town board meeting a couple of saturdays ago on channel 16. Hamburg St was kind of grouped in with other areas and Tomasone reference 'those groups' to Mr. Santabarbara who is going to be heading the IDA. His reference was 'there are things on the iron'. And that is it!! Other than that, I have heard nothing. Ya know...if the guy who owns the old Grand Union, doesn't want to do anything with that property...why not give it to the town for a cheap buck? Then perhaps they could look for contractors to develop it like they did for the old curry road shopping plaza.

Nothing big, bumble, but to quote you, the 'there are things on the iron' was actually 'there are irons in the fire' as in getting hot and ready to strike, as would be done with branding of cattle, etc.  Just an expression, just wanted it to be clear.

I've been hearing the town  board say that for 2 years now, when are we going to take those irons out of the fire and brand something with them. What good is it to have projects in the works that never come to pass?

Hey come on...it's an election year....you can bet that we will either hear of see something solid before November. That's my guess anyways. Things always heat up just a couple of months before an election.

I drove by Masullo Estates yesterday and their roads still look like a washboard, full of patches, and no work being done on the sewers. I know for a fact that the people who live there are sick and tired of hearing we're working on the problem or we have to do another study. There's a few people over there that won't be voting for some of the incumbents.
