| Proposed CR 13 roundabout. |
A public information meeting was held concerning the proposed new roundabout at the intersection of County road 13 and Twin Beech road in east Fairhope.
Construction is expected to begin in 2022; funding by ALDOT and the ESMPO.
Another roundabout on CR 13 at CR 32 could be constructed around the same time; funded entirely by the county.
Comments
The same issues with right away existed in Daphne, the roundabouts were shifted as is Fairhope’s but the lanes kept straight.
"less space would be taken if the approach lanes were to be kept straight"
Um...no. The issue is not HOW MUCH space, but rather WHICH space.
"we'll um yes, if you take the s curves out of the approaches than you lessen the need for land on all right sides of the 4 approaches,"
Hmmm, must be new geometry. Must have been in chemical engineering.
I didn't, not in this case anyway.
Mastic asphalt is 7-10% petroleum; the rest is aggregate.
13 gallons of oil, alone, would be greater than 1.7 cubic feet--before adding the rock (another 10+ times more material).
We are entitled to our own opinions, but not our own facts.
One last try...
You could pave all of North America 100 feet deep, and the formula would not change and your volume-denying physics would remain absurd.
