SEQUIM -The City Council, eyeing a $693,000 bill, had a bit of a go-round Monday night.
That’s the price of the city’s next roundabout or “circular death trap,” as one pedestrian called the traffic-control device.
Sequim Mayor Walt Schubert received a letter from a constituent who complained that navigating the Sequim Avenue-Old Olympic Highway roundabout on foot is perilous at best.
“I went over there and looked at it,” Schubert said.
“How do you get across” on foot?
Walk down Port Williams Road or Old Olympic Highway and cross a short distance away from the roundabout, replied Public Works Director James Bay.
“You have to be very careful,” he added, acknowledging that east-west crossings are even more difficult than walking north or south.
