Remove Traffic Chicanes in Sailboat Bend Neighborhood

The chicanes were a complete waste of money and are an eyesore.

Remove the chicanes and replace with speed humps which are very effective and much more attractive than chicanes with extreme sign pollution

The chicanes are ineffective and unsightly.

Some one almost hit me head on because they did not yield. This idea is a failure.

An eyesore and a nuisance. Not a community improving change.

terrible solution, what a waste of $

Completely agree. Need to also allow traffic to flow both ways as before at 10th and sw 4th, remove round a bout, makes no sense forcing traffic to cross. Rather spend the money fixing potholes and storm water issues.

Seems like it's causing more confusion than anything

I have lived and walked sailboat bends roads since 2003 and what they did is ugly- expensive and they altered a historic neighborhood for no reason- really bad idea

Hideous horrible idea

stupid idea

They are hideous

Damage to side of road due to these curves. Dose not slow traffic. I have one in front of my house so l know.

4 way stop would be better

What can I add? They are so poorly thought out, only government could have hatched such a bad plan.

Changing of converting the chicanes to speed bumps is a better option for slowing traffic and stopping Broward Blvd traffic from diverting through the community.

They are absolutely a hazard and not in conjunction with the normal flow of traffic. What were the people on who designed the round about at 10th Ave and 4th St.? Signs say Keep Right only to immediately have tocut back to the left because the new one way streets were put in the WRONG directions to the natural flow. The signs are misleading. Someone will end up dead. I agree - speedbumps will be much better, and add proper enforcement instead of the proper authority not wanting to be bothered. Signs mean ZERO. People still go the wrong way down one way streerts. People still make U-Turns where it says No U-Turns. People still park on sides of streets where it's no parking. Why even bother having any form of traffic control devices? Something SAFE AND SMART needs to be done. For once, PLEASE LISTENTO THE RESIDENTS AND NOT TO THE TRAFFIC EMPLOYEES. The employees don't always know what is best!

The chicanes are extremely dangerous, narrow and unfortunately cars do not yield. I think the purpose was to hinder overweight vehicles from crossing the swing bridge. The crisscross one way traffic around William Lauderdale Park on SW 4th Street is ridiculous

Completely useless, a real hazard and a waste of funds.

These have been great for uglying up our once beautiful neighborhood and making our drive home a nuisance!
