Letter of the Week: Let common sense prevail on St. Davids roundabout
The four corners of St. Davids, where the region is planning to build a roundabout. EVAN LOREE

Dear editor:

I read Peter Rusin’s Nov. 2 letter suggesting the proposed St. Davids roundabout will probably cost $10 million or more with necessary expropriations.

I pass through this intersection at least twice a week and as I sit at the stop sign, I wonder why common sense hasn’t kicked in at the Niagara Region planning department.

Surely the easiest and safest solution would be a simple traffic light.

There would be no expropriation needed and it might take a month maximum to install.

For $10 million, the region could fund a full-time traffic warden with a stop and go sign.

But that’s not nearly as glamorous as a roundabout, is it?
