There is absolutely no way, short of bridges or tunnels, that a
roundabout at that intersection can be made safe and convenient for
bicyclists and pedestrians. We need to make ourselves heard on
that. While small, low-speed roundabouts can work for cyclists, even
those are very bad for pedestrians, and high speed roundabouts favor
motorists completely at the expense of cyclists and pedestrians.
