As a city commissioner are you in favor of putting roundabouts anywhere in town? And why?

This is more easily answered if the question is "Am I Opposed to Roundabouts Anywhere in Town?" The answer to that is "No." City Commissioners are not out on the pavement, performing traffic counts or assessing traffic flow studies. We allocate funding to hire very smart people whose expertise in these areas dwarfs that of a Commissioner.
Growing up in a city with traffic circles, I learned to drive them early in my driving career. They take a while to get used to. One advantage is that unless traffic is extremely heavy, traffic keeps moving and long delays at red lights are avoided. Salina will not be the first city in the U.S. doing a pilot study on effectiveness of roundabouts. Several neighboring cities have them.
I would assume that if we build any, the size, lane width, curve radius, etc, will be adjusted for maximal efficiency, safety, and ease of navigation. Part of problem solving is being open to explore several options, not necessarily being locked in to "what we've always done." Sometimes the old way is the best, at other times it's time to move in a different direction. Remember when we had to go downtown and stand in line to buy a plane ticket? Now, international travel is but five minutes away on our cell phone. Relax, let's see what the engineers suggest!

Roundabouts have a proven record for less serious accidents when they occur. If traffic warrants a roundabout and we are getting Fed or State dollars to greatly reduce our cost, then we consider. They are much easier to do in growth areas during the initial construction process.

If round abouts are being put in because it will help with heavy traffic flow and can safety accommodate the forecasted increase in truck traffic. Then at the right locations for the correct reasons, then I would entertain the idea. If its only because everyone is doing it and it has a cost to tax payers (even if its funded by the state, its still a tax) that we as a city don't truly need, then I am against it.

I am not a fan of roundabouts in general. But, I am a big fan of saving taxpayers’ money. So, I would like to consider all options, then decide which option is the best and most cost effective for our city.

Yes, roundabouts are a great tool and properly driven make traffic easier. I don't understand the hate for them at all.

Actually, we already have existing roundabouts in Salina. Ones on Sunset Dr. and W. Beloit near Sunset Park have been in place for years. Another example is at the south end of Marymount going into Great Life. Once you drive a roundabout a few times it’s not that big of a deal. I favor roundabouts when traffic engineers determine they are an effective way to safely keep traffic flowing.
