What's with the new circle being put in on Montrose Ave by Woodland? Are we trying to look like Short Hills?

It has been a dangerous roadway for years. I for one am 100% for it.

While I agree people speed on Montrose, I think the circle is going to be the cause of accidents. I thought most of the speeders were at the other end of Montrose, toward Redgewood Road. There are numerous accidents a years at the intersections of Vose, Meeker, and Clark. Hopefully they will do something at that end too.

Isn't the circle a little too far off to the left(if your heading toward centre street)? Going that way the circle seems to be a side note, not really going through it? you have a clear shot up Montrose...going toward Scotland you have a very pronouced right and quick left around the circle? Was it designed to just slow traffic in the one direction?

Yes O and G you're right. It is off center towards the left when you head toward Center Street.

I'm assuming the off center position is a result of trying to control the cars coming off of Hartford and the Grove Terraces.

Valid point...But its so far over, I hope people don't get the impression that traffic heading toward Berkeley/Scotland is to use the left side.

You think the circle will inhibit the fire trucks from getting through.

Every second counts...

Josh
The 'circle' is down the street from Grove though.

Red - I think the fire trucks will just drive over it! LOL
