Hands off the Fingerpost Roundabout
Various plans for Bus Connects have shown the NtA intend to remove the roundabout at the bottom of Maryborough Hill
The roundabout can be altered to encourage safer pedestrian and cycle elements while facilitating bus priority. We don't have to remove it.
Options like a signalised roundabout rather than junction would be useful to explore that can give pedestrian and cyclist priority also. I have called repeatedly for more pedestrian safety enhancements here and all along Maryborough Hill for years.
Ultimately, we want to address the issue of congestion in Douglas by encouraging more public transport usage but to simply remove the Fingerpost in its entirety at this stage requires a lot more other options considered and published.
Sign the petition below to tell the NTA not to remove the roundabout.
