Default Re configuring intersection at AP Hill statue

Richmond is considering changing the traffic flow at the AP Hill statue into a roundabout, much like the one on Monument ave around Lee's statue. The intersection where Hill's statue is (and where Hill is actually buried) has had several severe wrecks the past few years and fatalities.

I took Dr James Robertson's Civil war course when I was at Virginia Tech. he had just written a biography on Hill and was working on his Stonewall one at the time. he started class one day with a tirade about why they had AP Hill buried at a busy intersection and how disprespectful it was. Maybe they should move the body to Hollywood Cemetary.
