To the Editor:
As a resident of the Pleasant Valley neighborhood, I, along with others in our community, would like to know where the [roundabout project] money will come from.
The single roundabout originally meant a shorter construction time and a $1 million savings over the traffic signal when the estimate was at $4 million, but if by the projected year of 2020 the roundabout is operating a volume-to-capacity of 0.96, and we are now spending as much as had been estimated for a traffic signal, then we are just wasting taxpayers money since we will be forced to revisit the project and pour another who-knows-how-many-millions into the correct solution.
I would like to hear from our Board of Supervisors their thoughts on how they will pay for this and why the roundabout now costs as much as the traffic signal.
