Totally disagree Tracy. This intersection is at a spot not far from where the meeting of Davidson, Huntersville, Cornelius, and Cabarrus County happens a few miles south. Traffic at this spot is already heavy and destined to get heavier as development continues among all these areas. More importantly, the angle of this intersection(not a 90 degree "T", but more of a tilted T) led to a number of accidents due to lack of visibility and a fairly recent death. The circle is a needed improvement. Reply

This roundabout is located on a country road outside of a small town. There is little traffic here, and, in using this intersection several times each day, we have never had to wait for more than one or two cars. Completely unnecessary project. Reply
