Default See Alternatives in the Link -- Traffic Circle not huge

BTW: Pedestrians in those crosswalks make it possible for the off-street parking, Harmøny Coffee House, the restaurants, Bradley's, and the new condo-owners to return to Maim Street.

Looks like only a small section taken on the Brewster field side.

Hoping this link will work, as the .pdf documents (from this page, "Alternatives") shows the layouts.

Personally, I LOVE roundabouts/ rotaries / traffic circles. Considering huge seasonal difference in traffic volume on Rt. 28, the dynamism of the rotary is best option by far at 28/109. The layout works when no traffic and when tons of traffic.

Having been in the queue to 28 South, I would welcome a roundabout.
