Slipek: “A heightened sense of place has emerged”

Edwin Slipek looks at the “heightened sense of place” that has emerged at 25th/Jefferson/M Street since the roundabout was installed in March 2009:

But what establishes cohesiveness in this area is something I never would have predicted: the recently installed traffic roundabout. These traffic “calmers” are the darling of traffic engineers and city planners, especially along Jefferson and Floyd avenues. And while the jury is still out, as far as I am concerned they work here magnificently.
