If you go to the NH DOT website, you can see that the dysfunction junction, which is right in the center of the Weirs area, was listed to be rebuilt in 2011 into a roundabout presumably similar to the Meredith roundabout. However, due to the recent $36/NH vehicle registration reduction in price, the DOT has cancelled out on this project which would have cost something like 1.1 million dollars.

That's too bad for the Weirs because a new roundabout is an attractive public improvement. Whenever a new roundabout gets built, it should definitely include a garden hose water faucet, so the roundabout garden can get watered. It is hard for me to believe that both the Meredith and Plymouth roundabouts were constructed without a garden hose water faucet, and the plants depend on rainfall alone.These roundabouts could all be beautifull public decorative garden spots, but they must have water, and they both look like some very dried out and sick plants just barely alive that depend on rainfall.

Just go take a look at the terrific public decorative garden that has been created in Campton at the intersection of Rt 49 and Rt 175, next to the Campton Dam. Last fall, after its first full growing season, an irrigation spray system was installed, and it made a huge improvement to the garden.

The Weirs could be having a pretty nice deco garden in the center of its roundabout if the $36 get re-instated back into the car registration fees. What's it gonna be? Save $36/year or build a roundabout.......(plus maintenance & snowplowing of state roads).
