A different question is how much pedestrian traffic do we want to have. I think there's a lot of intention by local governments to get more people walking and taking transit, including in suburban areas. With much better transit on Ira Needles, that's not theoretical.
However, transit will bring people to the area, and take them back. It won't induce them to cross the road -- all the commercial properties are on the west side of Ira Needles. And if that's the case, the roundabouts are a non-problem as far as pedestrians go.
