>> halterman: let me take a different approach here. let's take a look at university avenue right today, and not the abstract, the reality. you've got a large number of businesses that do not want the roundabouts. they've been here a long time. they don't need to be recruited. they don't need to be developed. and they feel that their livelihood and businesses are at risk. they haven't been listened to. the majority of the citizens in cedar falls, i believe, do not want the roundabout. these businesses employ many people that live in cedar falls and pay cedar falls taxes, that help,support the city. i think we need to focus on what we have going on right here and not worry about the abstract. these people are part and parcel with ced falls, and we need to do a better job. they desesve it. e businesses deserve our support, and we should not be forcing this upon them. >> ron: mayor crews, you get the last word on this one. luckily for mr. halterman, university avenue is not the only controversy out there. >> mayor crews: there's a comment
