one question -- where does the water drain without curbed channels?

I wish they had done this sort of thing in my village of Berwick 
instead of the monstrosity of a boulevard intersection with 3 sets of 
traffic lights in a row within 50 meters of each other. What a 
nightmare that is. And they've done it twice -- once at the main 
intersection and also at the train station crossing to the south of 
town. Same planners?

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
