Cutting costs
To the editor:
Another modest proposal. Since most stories regarding local government spending reflect a “bare cupboard” in the city pantry, may I suggest that all roundabouts-in-planning be canceled, replaced by appropriate stop or yield signs, and the savings deposited in the appropriate accounts.
Those committed to the undying pursuit of roundabouts could rest assured that either prosperous times or better ideas would resolve this obsession in the future. The rest of us could possibly look forward to improved streets and other services.
