im all for innocent banter

that's what i was doing by pointing out the cars in the video, admittedly in a cheeky fashion.  a wise crack and lil jab at ya.  i mean come on given this pedantic discussion you have to admit its a little funny the first 10 seconds or so have 2 cars driving as they do

i just don't see how calling someone about the worst name out there, even if in a veiled fashion, is comparable to my comment sarcastic as it may have been

Well, you know how us conservatives are. I could've called you Pocahontas.

What the hell just happened here? The last 2 pages of this thread played out like an after school special from the 80's.  Y'all went from "Cunt" to "Kumbaya" and now patting each other on the butt as you mosey off to the Memorial Day weekend... Can we get back on topic please?

I agree...but there is a group of people that believe those don't work...and that there has been increased traffic in the neighborhood because of it.  I would submit any traffic increase is due to I-95 construction and/or the growing popularity of the square following the reconfiguration.

Somewhere up thread someone asked about other 5 point intersections.
In Jax (or is it Neptune? ) Beach where Penman, Florida,  and another street come together  - traffic signals.
In Atlantic Beach, where Plaza, Seminole, and another street meet - All Way Stop signs. Which people don't seem to know how to use.

Columbia, SC has two 5 points intersections in their "5 Points". Both are signalized but one includes a small park now.




In Nashville, their 5 points intersection is signalized. However, one leg is one way.

Good for them, I don't see the city tearing them up anytime soon. I would however like to see them out there protesting roundabouts. Would be a great use of their time.

Close off Park from Lomax to Post to automobiles and make it strictly a walk and bike zone.  Then put in a  traditional 4 way light and...voila...  8)
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

This was absolutely one of the suggestions discussed during the open meeting a few years ago.  Seems like a great suggestion; seemed like one then, too. 

Cars win.  Sorry.

Come on, be real here.  Park is the major artery trough RA.  To close it off anywhere would be a total mess.
