San Luis Obispo County is working on a plan to build two roundabouts on Highway 227, and public sentiment about it is mixed. Cal Poly transportation engineering professor Anurag Pande (@PolyProfPande) helps me explore the science of roundabouts and the complicated feelings that surface in neighborhoods where they're being introduced.
Action item: Learn about the background and timeline of the roundabouts project on the County Department of Public Works project page. Scroll down to the FAQs that address some myths about roundabouts and how to use them if you're on foot or on a bike. You'll have an opportunity to give public comment when this goes to the County Supervisors later this spring. I'll be sure to give you a heads-up.
