Hey, City of London Department of Transportation Planning and Design! You ^%$**@n' Rock!

Remember how I wasn't too crazy about the signs at the Hale and Trafalgar roundabout? (that post here)

I sent email to several of the people who work in Transportation Planning and Design for the City right when I wrote that post on May 2nd.

I took the roundabout only two times since then, one of them being last Thursday morning. Look what I saw!

I just wanted to thank whoever was kind enough to pay attention to my email and posts. 2 weeks? It got changed in 2 weeks? In municipal government terms, that is outstanding. It almost makes me wonder if I'm not the original cause of the sign change.

In any case, I'm really happy with my City's transportation planners right now. People in positions like theirs are often inundated with requests and general whinings about this and that, I'm sure. Some of us (myself included) are often quick to criticize and slow to praise... this post is about my being as quick to praise as I was to complain. Well done, City planners!

Yer Pal,
