Something else to note is that Columbus Circle is attractive and provides public space, not just empty grass. It is very similar to the Willow Tree in Halifax, which is also at the corner of a park. Columbus Circle, like the Willow Tree, involves an intersection of more than two streets (Broadway goes through there at an odd angle). Presumably Columbus Circle handles far more traffic than the Willow Tree - it was certainly busy when I was there.

I was thinking the very same thing! I'd gladly reserve my anti-roundabout judgements if they promised something like Columbus Circle outside my window at the Willow Tree. (so long as they resist the urge to plant a damn willow tree in the centre, or worse yet.. a giant metal lighthouse)!!
