Roundabout working great

Tue., Jan. 1, 2019

This is in response to Leon Sproule’s letter dated Dec. 25 complaining about the “traffic disaster” created by Costco’s new store on Highway 2, as well as the inconvenience it has caused for some. Personally, I think the move was a wise business decision and financially beneficial for them by moving it to the county. Of course many people will be inconvenienced, but that’s just the way it goes. Businesses move all the time.

Regarding the roundabout, I have been very impressed by how well it works and think it may be the most effective one in Spokane. It was a complicated endeavor, one of a kind, and I think the engineers should be praised for their work.

The next time you visit Costco, take your time, slow down, and it all makes sense.
