Highway Roundabouts

According to Methow Conservancy's Population and Land Project, the Valley's population—including both full-time and part-time residents—is steadily expanding, with about a 14 percent increase between 2020 and 2025. It now stands well over 12,000.

You don't have to be a traffic engineer to notice the summer months bring a sizable increase in recreational traffic.

My prediction: Within 10 years or less, there will be at least one highway roundabout somewhere in the Valley. Stop lights just don't allow for a smooth flow of traffic during peak hours on a major WA State highway.

Wouldn't a roundabout be fun at the 4 way in Winthrop?
