Dear Editor: I am deeply concerned about the proposed roundabout to be located at Pleasant Street, Bolivar Street, and Lincolnshire Drive. The town estimates this project will cost approximately $350,000. The town of Canton has framed this issue as one of public safety; however, vehicle accidents and pedestrian injuries are exceedingly rare events at this […]
