One positive thing the city has done is to create a roundabout at Grelot and
Dawes Roads where traffic can flow freely by eliminating traffic lights at major
intersections. This is something that European cities have had for years and
while the concept might scare or confuse Americans the system has proven to
work and drivers would eventually adapt to it. The downside to this system is it
does not allow traffic to flow as quickly or as simple as overpasses do, but cost
less than building overpasses. For roundabouts might be cheaper but still rely on
vehicles to slow down and will cause confusion in some motorist along with being
able to find enough legal right away space to build them on.
