Before it was removed, the North traffic circle in Alex was a riot. Very few had a clue

Oh it was bad, very bad. They need to get rid of the South Circle as well but every time it is brought up, some lame excuse stops it. Last time it was Caplan complaining that it would hurt his business and he is old money in town. He got some other people to support that claim and killed the last attempt to remove the circle.

Well a year after being instrumental in killing the last circle removing project he closes his business and moves everything downtown anyways. He knew he was going to do that but screwed everyone over and used his position to help his own sorry arse out over the rest of the people in town.

Before that attempt to remove it, the excuse was the wooded area was protected wetlands are some crap like that. Because of it's existence traffic is a PITA during peak hours and it is a source of wrecks and insurance fraud. On top of that, it is the prevailing reason why so many things depend on service/frontage roads here in town. But it is Alexandria, a town that is completely content in it's on mediocrity and will never change.
