Likes roundabout proposal

Dear Editor:

I am excited about the plans for the proposed roundabout for the Boothbay Common. As a resident that uses the intersection every day, I think this is a wonderful solution to the traffic confusion surrounding the Common. The lines that form each afternoon on Corey Lane create dangerous traffic conditions. It is not unusual to witness near accidents as frustrated drivers attempt to pull out of Corey Lane in front of cars traveling south on Route 27.

While there may never be a solution that pleases everyone, I am excited about this proposal and the possibility to solve real traffic uses while at the same time providing a beautiful welcoming entrance to our community. The proposed combination of state, local and private funding has created a unique opportunity for the community. I support this proposal and hope others will do so as well!
