DIZZYING!!!

That's interesting stuff. Where are they going to get the money? A pedestrian underpass? Yikes!

[jrc]

Won't a pedestrian underpass next to lake flood with lake water?

Is there no problem a roundabout won't solve?

Fascinating. But no boat launch? Hope this doesn't change the character of the area. It is so quaint now. I would hate to see it turn into a highspeed traffic zone. I don't really mind the delays for a few days when the other days are deserted.

Will be nice to keep things moving along and through Meredith on Saturdays for sure! The entry's to Leavitt Park and Patrician Shores will make turning in and exiting these areas less of a theme park ride and more normal, I fear for my elderly parents whenever they say they are going to visit Patrician Shores. The thgouht of them getting slammed from behind or having to zip out onto 25 is frightening with those blind curves!!

Will this ever happen???? Who knows! Seems to me to be a pretty expensive and pretty LONG TERM project.

One page says May 2005 study. Pretty grand idea!
Almost THREE years! Have we seen anything more recent?
I don't think so.

There will be such an uproar with the taking of Hesky Park, which has deed restrictions!

Let us all conclude that nothing is in the near future; otherwise it'd be all over the newspapers local & state, and other media.

It's NOT a done deal!

If all three new roundabouts get built, that will make for four roundabouts within about a one mile stretch of Rt 3-25. The new existing roundabout at the top of Ladd Hill on Rt 3. The proposed roundabout at the intersection of Rt 3 & Rt 104. The proposed roundabout at the big intersection of Rt 3 & Rt 25. The proposed roundabout at the intersection of Rt 25 & Pleasant St.

1,2,3,4.....that's four roundabouts....count em!

Removing launching ramp and Hesky Park just will not happen.

Disclaimer: I have no vested interest!

I recall the big discussions when Meredith Rotary invested so much in Park improvements, after researching all the deed restrictions; many will not allow that to happen. Mark my words - for the next half century or more.

Yes, but the "plan" was made three years ago, with no actions since - no hearings or design work.

How does a large truck pulling a tailer get through there?

I make it through there with an F-250 and a horse trailer just fine. The cobbles are meant to be driven over for trucks that need the room, although I've never had to go up and over them. The visual perception without taking the cobbles into account does make it look as though a tractor trailer could never negotiate through there without issue, but the cobbles aren't there to be pretty (although they do look nice), they actually have a purpose.

I wasn't a fan when it went in, but I'm used to it now as it no longer annoys the poo out of me when I go through it. It's purpose was to slow traffic down and control it's movement, so it certainly accomplished that on busier days. Do I want two more in Meredith? I'd prefer a bypass up and over the entire town but my full support of the tourism industry won't allow me to say that.
