Do Roundabout’s Attract or Detract?

Popular Des Moines neighborhood, Beaverdale, is planning to spruce up it’s business district with a roundabout on the corner of Urbandale and Beaver Avenue. This is designed to draw residents with bigger sidewalks, slow down traffic, and make the business area more attractive. Supporters have raised over $1 million to help pay for the project, but plans still need to be approved by the Des Moines City Council.

What do you think? This new trend of creating roundabouts has proponents and opponents.
