BRACK: Solve Gwinnett traffic problems by approving referendum

By Elliott Brack  |  On May 9, 1977, I was attending a high-tech seminar in Boston, Mass.  About 2 p.m. sitting in class on a Wednesday, it started snowing.  Almost immediately the snow intensified. By 3:30, officials halted the class, saying we would resume the next morning. We returned to our hotel.

BRACK: Think about highway roundabouts for improved safety

BRACK: Think about highway roundabouts for improved safety

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Americans anticipating a British driving vacation face two problems: driving on the “wrong” (left) side of the road….and British roundabouts. Britain has more roundabouts as a proportion of roads than any other country. Many get confused at negotiating the roundabout, while driving in a left-side steering car gets a little more comfortable after a while.

By Elliott Brack | There’s always a big time gap between conception of an idea and its completion. That’s true in social interactions in getting people to agree, in marketing of a new product, and certainly in construction projects.
