I read Carol Durkoin's letter in which she suggest the traffic circle park. I think that it a much better choice than sticking a tag up on a pole, as she says, "an empty gesture". I vote for the traffic circle.

sorry, Carol Durkin - I was typing in the dark...

I think it's far more appropriate to rename the traffic circle in honor of General Petraeus. If the point of the country is to protect the Quaker's way of life,m then I think a goodly part of that should also be to respect theri way of life.

Besides, most of our country's recent wars are, I think, best represented by the symbology of a traffic circle, anyhow.

I'd like to echo Stephen Sywak's thoughts on this issue, annd throw out another vote for renaming the traffic circle in honor of General Petraeus.

I agree that the circle would be more appropriate -- the Quakers have a point -- and it is such a small stretch of road -- rename 218!

Share your views with County Executive Ed Diana, who, with the touch of his pen, can ratify the action taken last Thursday.

If people are going to email the County Executive, please consider asking that it be the traffic circle. Rt 218 is a historical road that is already named after the mountain it was built on. There is a story behind the "storm king"

I am a Vet and agree that the circle would be more fitting to be named after Gen. Petraeus. The circle would represent the globe that are military is trying to police from all angles.

The circle is not a bad idea, but I believe that it is not under county jurisdiction. I do not know whether the historical association of Chadeayne is still connected to the circle area. Well-taken is the point about naming Rte. 218 for Gen. Petraeus, but that would take cooperation from the State, and that can be a very slow process, combined with having just the right combination of legislators in both houses. Incidentally, there would be three eldest buildings in Cornwall connected with the Friends, but it has long been suspected among Orthodox families that members of the Hicksite (surviving) house, in their Friendly way, burned down the Orthodox Meeting House and would not permit the meeting to use their building.

Rebuild the bridge on bridge street and name that after him.

You gotta love Mel's post!
I also remember the circle being called Chadeayne circle. There was a barn there and the house on the hill between Continental and Angola Roads was the homestead.

i think leave Quaker Ave alone as it is in Town and change Ave A to Generals Ave as that is actually where he is from. I live there and I would be willling to change my street's name for patriotism. thanks
