Geniuses. The fountain is the only thing that makes the roundabout decent.

The site "has been very good for business," says James McKeever, manager of nearby Pinellas Auto Body & Service Inc.
That's classic! The roundabout is also good for other businesses, too, since you can't escape the island after 5pm or at all on weekends thanks to traffic. They'll never replace it with a simple intersection -- local restaurants and hotels will lose too much business.

God, I hate that thing. The moment a drawbridge opens, you're stuck for at least twenty minutes.
