Yet ANOTHER HIGH COST BOONDOGGLE!
Now that the traffic flow on S.S.F has been cut to a trickle why do we need this expensive solution to a non-existing problem!!?
C’mon mean Joe Green! Show some leadership and stop this ssf financial hemorage!
I think the answer to your question is, to complete the downtown plan. Who cares about the traffic flow in that area. We are trying to clean up and make the downtown a nicer place to live and shop. Right now it looks like an industrial junkyard on that part of S Sante Fe. Invest in the future and stop living in the past!

Why not a third or maybe a fourth roundabout? Have any of our city leaders watched large vehicles try to navigate these tight quarters. At some point all businesses must be serviced by outside vendors! Another Euro style plan not in touch with reality.
