Too busy for roundabouts
Jul 03 2008, 8:43 PM I grew up with roundabouts in S.E. Portland, and they were no big deal. Of course, there is a catch here, they are in residential areas, posted speed of 25 mph, but due to the width of the streets and cars parking on both sides, nobody does over 20. Couple the speed with the quantity of traffic (I can’t remember ever meeting another car in one at the same time), they were safe. There is no way I could say the same of the proposed sites here. Especially Sharpes Corner, which I drove through twice daily, four to seven times a week for 12 years.

Some advice: Don’t do it!
Jul 03 2008, 8:42 PM After over two years, I have returned to Oak Harbor just in time to save it from a huge mistake! Please do not even think about putting a roundabout at Sharpes Corner! There was one just a few blocks down the street from where I lived in Marysville. It not only appeared that no one knew what a Y-I-E-L-D sign spells, but for the few who might have known, it was a challenge to see who could ignore it first.
