Some years ago the county installed several circles in Sumner to “calm” traffic. While the roads and the circles belong to Montgomery County, the Summer Citizens Association (SCA) is responsible for the circles.The brick edging of the first circles was in bad shape. The bricks had been broken up by trucks driving over them. The circles installed at the end of the original project had concrete borders and seem to have suffered little or no damage.

The SCA got the appropriate county employee to come out and assess the situation and then Phil Wilcox of Sumner's Traffic Committee stayed on the case. The result: this week county crews have been installing concrete borders on the circles where they were lacking. This should help to keep the circles in good order.

Hope you have noticed the Spring cleaning of the circles and addition of colorful pansies. This is made possible by dues paid to the SCA.
