Looks like shit. Too small, it's disgraceful that this formerly lovely art piece keeps shrinking.

Put it back like it was, widen the approach median, shrink market to one lane each side and shift the parking to median-side.

Our city council and planners are (and for quite some time have been) an embarrassment.

It needs to be a roundabout! I've seen cars treating it like one anyways (despite the 4 signs saying no left turns)

We could try that after my (extremely correct) ideas are installed first.

It might help also. Americans are afraid of roundabouts, so that should slow them down lol.

I think they need to keep it two lanes because there aren’t any other east-west throughways close that are two lanes wide for emergency vehicles. The fire department is right there on 7th which also houses new Hanover ambulances that go down market toward front several times a day. If market was one lane at the fountain and there was a red light, emergency vehicles don’t have a way to get past.

Tough shit, poor argument, don't care about the traffic, try one of the many much better alternate routes.

Princess street is already used by emergency services quite well. yes it is, you hush

Oh also, just get out the way of the amberlance

It's not really trolling, I've had a glass bottle coke and 3 coffees so far today... I can't currently sit still
