Dear editor:

So the region and the town want to know what the citizens of NOTL want to see in the heart of St. David’s now that they have ignored the majority of residents who have consistently, for years, said “no roundabout” (The Lake Report, “Future St. Davids roundabout narrowed down to two options, region asks residents to vote for one,” May 1).

It is astounding that not only do we get an unneeded roundabout, but the region sees fit to send a four-page voting process to determine what it should look like.

At least when the town undertook the unneeded “wall” makeover at the entrance to Old Town, it was being funded by an individual donor, had some measure of support and was advertised through Join the Conversation as opposed to being funded by our taxes.

And, to add insult to injury, we also get to pay for the voting promotion to pick out what we didn’t want in the first place should look like?

Give your head a shake!

Bob Bader
