Default ...upgrading Laconia's appearance?

http://www.laconiadailysun.com/story...ets-goals-city

"Improving look of the city 1 of handful of strategic goals set by councilors"

Here's my two cents; the NH-DOT is supposed to be building a 110' diameter roundabout in 2012 in the Weirs, replacing the dysfunction junction. The existing roundabout in Meredith is a 120' diameter.

Maybe, try to get the NH-DOT to include a garden hose, water faucet built into the center of the new Laconia roundabout so's a real nice decorative garden can grow there.

The Meredith roundabout has no water, and all those low water perennials just looks like a bunch of dried out weeds or something, if you ask me. Laconia can do much better than that at the new Weirs roundabout, but it should have a water line installed. Water would makes a big difference! Laconia does not want a weedy, dried out look, like what's over in Meredith. Laconia can do better than Meredith, and build a QUALITY roundabout decorative garden that would help to beautify the Weirs! If you want to make Weirs Beach a distinctive, go-to, tourist-visiter spot, then it should have an enhanced, exotic, decorative garden in its' center!

Go take a look at the Laconia Public Library, www.laconialibrary.org and the new library building addition. That library is both a terrific looking, public building plus it's a very busy place, with plenty of library users. So, if you want to enhance the Weirs, and encourage visitors to go there, then growing a real good-looking, decorative garden in the roundabout is something to think about!

If you go to the NH-DOT website, the dysfunction junction is the first, at the top of the list, for state wide roundabout construction in 2012.

The best place to start would be a couple bombs right in the center.
