I've seen a video with a roundabout on the U of Mich campus that is very ped friendly. The same video shows roundabout in Vail, CO that that works very well for bicyclists. Never having to make a left turn is wonderful. Most roundabouts are compatible with bike speeds.
However I would probably have reservations at Crazy Corners, because the path adds a wildcard component that may be hard to deal with.

Why would this be a 'high-speed' roundabout? Even a low-speed one would be a nightmare for pedestrians, and not much better for cyclists. The whole idea of a roundabout is that vehicles never stop, so how can pedestrians possibly cross? In addition, given the volume and speed of traffic on Monroe St., not to mention the large trucks, the traffic engineers aren't going to accept a low-speed circle.
