Stickle Road

Resident calls for a roundabout to be constructed at the Highway 97 intersection

I would like to second the motion of William Heimbecker in The Morning Star.

I agree that 20th Street extended from near the big box shopping district northward to car dealer row would take a lot of pressure off the Stickle Road/Highway 97 intersection no matter what solution is implemented for this intersection.

My  first preference for this latter problem is a traffic calming, not obstructing, roundabout;  the kind of solution used in more enlightened jurisdictions around the world, especially in Europe and Great Britain.

A Google Earth view of this intersection suggests there is enough room to implement such a solution.
