Traffic Circle Progress!

Thank you to all the people who showed up at the Traffic meeting last night. We had ten members in attendance at the meeting last night, which seemed to do the trick. Our Sub-committee chair, Jeff Abugel, did a great job of summing up the process that his HPLA sub-committee went through to make this proposed plan happen. He has really worked tirelessly, and I think everyone really agrees that he has done a bang-up job. (Thanks, Jeff!) Amos also spoke eloquently at the meeting, as did your president, Phil. We also had the great planning and support of Ron Reekes who has made this plan work.

The result of the meeting is this: the commission voted to give the neighborhood the requested traffic circle with the caveat that it is tested first with nailed-down cones in the area where the traffic circle will be. This is a safety measure that will assure that all the sizes and shapes of the emergency vehicles necessary to keep the neighborhood safe can make it through the newly narrowed intersection.
