Granted, a bigger island would cost more than a couple of Stop signs, but they're both infrastructure; either one will cost "more of our money". And Stop signs will do nothing for the fact that the island is just too small. Do you think that, with a four-way stop, an island big enough to stop in won't be necessary? I KNOW you're not that trusting of deathmobile drivers. (BTW, this is Email; it's entirely possible Mitch replied before receiving the "previous person's recommendations" message. Or maybe he just didn't see them as worth commenting on. JAT.) --------------- Paul T.
