Apparently, some residents are calling for a traffic circle to be installed at the bottom of the hill (8th street and Royal Ave) which would end up creating a serious gong show in the winter.

I had to drive that way last night and there were several people sliding down that hill that definitely would have plowed into the middle of a circle.
Even the circles where the ground is flat, they get pretty icy at each entrance from all the acceleration while cars are turning in.
