.........the public WILL support the dual roundabout design -- which is QUITE appropriate and efficient..  The experts have no use for Chief Nayboob JoeBoxer and hare - brained schemes..

Obviously you are too ignorant to comprehend the printed words on a page, just like your reading comprehension challenged alter ego...but then again, why would we expect less of someone who spends their life staring up their rectum!!!!

I wonder, since this idea came about, has anybody tried driving Curry Rd, say from the bridge over 890 all the way through to 5 Corners?  I did it tonight and timed it.  It took 13 minutes.  Started on the bridge @ 5:31, went through 5 Corners @ 5:44.  Longest wait was getting through the Curry Rd / Altamont Ave / Helderberg Ave area.

You also were traveling with the works traffic which is heavier at that hour.

It would have been my next recommendation.  If you want a double roundabout, Curry/Altamont and Curry/Helderberg would be the place for it, not 5 Corners.

Lets start a pool. If a roundabout is to next go on Curry/Alt Ave, who's business will be closed and forced out or who's business will lose some of it's property? DOes any one want to venture who the town/state would take from and who they would not?

Nah, they can take the area with all the election signs and nobody would have to lose any land.  We saw last election cycle thatbtwits don't mind running out in the middle of a circle to place election signs.  There should be plenty of room as it is @ Curry/Altamont.

The study which recommended the 5 Corners dual roundabout was commissioned SOLELY to study  5 Corners, 4 Corners, Route 7 between those two corners and the "Broadway Corridor" from the town line to 5 corners.

Curry/Altamont and Curry/Helderberg were NOT included in the study so there was never any chance that the study would have come up with recommendations for those 2 other intersections.  I have never heard of any study which recommended a dual roundabout at those two intersections nor have I heard of any plans to study that possibility.

If you believe that a study is needed for those two intersection, you are welcome to petition - verbally or in writing - your town government to have a study commissioned.   I have no opinion on the subject one way or the other.

As for the poster who claims to know more about the situation at 5 Corners (and elsewhere) than the actual university-trained, state licensed/certified EXPERTS who conducted the study -- my only response is   ROFL ...  now tell me another joke.
