I think a roundabout could improve things if it's designed right, especially if they flip the bike path east approach to skirt the south side of the roundabout.
What surprises me is that with something that will effect Seagrove as much as this is there wasn't more public discussion leading up to the decision. Unless I missed something, it sounds like there was one workshop back in 2008 where doing something (maybe traffic lights, maybe a roundabout) was discussed in general terms, and then there was this BCC meeting at the end of August where a roundabout was approved. Were there other meetings in between there?
