Roundabouts Come To Salem, CT

The illustration on the right shows you a roundabout like the one that is going to replace the four-way intersection with lights currently at Salem Four Corners.

Personally, I can't wait. I think most Salem residents, and all the people who travel through town at some point during the day, are looking forward to this! Unlike the big rotary in Stonington with multiple access points and higher speed, this roundabout will have only four access points. It will allow us to slow down as we approach the circle but not have to stop as we go through the intersection. And no more line-ups during those long summer Sunday afternoons, or at drive-time.

As part of this upgrading of the Four Corners, the business owners in the shopping centers there are getting together to work on sprucing up the storefronts and improving the general appearance of the whole area.

It's long overdue, and big thanks should go to the First Selectman Bob Ross for getting things organized and pushing this project along!
