I see they are adding vegetation to the roundabout in North Mesa. This is a very bad idea. 

It’s a traffic circle, not a Garden of Eden. It’s intended to enhance safety, nothing more. To do that, all drivers must be able to see each other, which is not the case even now. 

So move that mountain lion to Ashley Pond; then scrape, level and pave the thing.
