round about improvement

Finally! Santa Cruz County has a rotary!! It's not just a rotary...IT'S A MILLION DOLLAR ROTARY!!! (and the best part...I think we got it for free....can you freakin' believe it?) Obama granted us stimulus for this amazing engineering feat and in celebration I say the City erect a statue of our president no less than 20 feet tall, and he should point toward the wharf because that would even help the confused tourists know which way they should be going.

The city is preparing a pamphlet to introduce drivers to features of the roundabout but I guess the only confusion thus far belongs to the pedestrians..."The main problems we have observed are people who try and cross from one corner to the other corner, effectively stopping all traffic in the intersection as they saunter down the middle of the lane," (Project Manager) Spangrud said. "It's set up so drivers deal with pedestrians first, then the cars. We don't want pedestrians crossing through the middle of the roundabout...For pedestrians, the trick is using the designated crosswalk, which will be set back from the intersection. The crosswalk is currently marked with tape on the street."

Damned pedestrians I say! Show some respect and remember to bow to the mighty automobiles before crossing the rotary....and don't you dare forget who made it all possible!! Thank you Obama for this stimulating improvement to an intersection worthy of a pamphlet!
