To The Editor,

Why are Sanibel City Hall government still paying traffic guards, not only unsafe as a practice but a system which creates bottlenecks at 4-way intersections? Solution is Roundabouts to build them now while IAN rebuild is taking place. Roundabouts will save a minimum $100,000 per year in expenses plus the assorted benefits. TRAFFIC would move along, not at idle spewing even more carbon monoxide fumes and CO2 into the air during every rush hour as well! Roundabouts have been proven safe, creating fewer accidents. Fact is small and large communities all over the world have installed them successfully for the benefit of the taxpayers and residents. Merry Christmas to all.
