In a surprise development, it’s been revealed that the Bayfront Roundabout currently under construction will feature a giant loop-de-loop due to an unforeseen budget surplus. Ronnie Scootz, junior City of Erie traffic engineer, spoke to Gooferie about this unexpected addition. “Remember those Hot Wheels tracks that you could build up into a circle?” Scootz asked between puffs from a smoking device. “That was our inspiration.”
“We know people hate roundabouts, but they’re so much fun to design”, said Scootz as he finished his bag of Doritos. After an extraordinarily long pause, he added, “Plus when you get the PennDot people helping out, it’s like a traffic engineer party!” When questioned about the safety and functionality of the roundabout loop-de-loop, Scootz replied: “I’m sorry, what were we talking about? Oh! Traffic flow! Yeah, I think that was mentioned at one point. Traffic will definitely flow, but maybe not as well as everybody wants.”
When asked when the roundabout loop-de-loop would open, Scootz said, “It will be ready by spring. We just don’t know which spring yet.”
