bike lanes are good and sometimes roundabouts are good but they mess them up in the US a lot of the time and also US drivers are terrible

my favorite american roundabouts are the ones in residential neighborhoods, where they just plopped down a circle of concrete into an existing intersection and called 'er good

Yeah, that's exactly what these are. Some of them are pretty nice: they dig up the pavement inside it, install a circular curb of equal height to the surrounding sidewalk curbs, and plant some bushes and stuff in the middle. But there are a few that are exactly like I said before, a sad little circle-ish disk of concrete that's just a couple inches tall. They make me think of those awards somebody made that all said "you tried" in comic sans.

I sent an email to the city engineer about lights and traffic and stuff. I'm hoping they can fix the lights on this one stretch that's supposed to by a bypass so it will actually be used as a bypass instead of a parking lot for one half.

Just before World War 1 Milwaukee was starting to build a subway although it never resumed after the war. A small amount of track was laid along with maybe one or two stations. It was all filled in late in the 90s (?) during freeway construction.
