A rendering of two new roundabouts overlaid on an aerial image of the intersections of Chandler Street and May Street in Worcester. Two "Y"-shaped intersections where the two streets converge would be converted into a pair of roundabouts, with two wide shared-use pathways around the edges of and between the new roundabouts.

<p>Educated at the Sorbonne and the Yale School of Drama, Gersh Kuntzman is obviously not the person being described here. We&#8217;re talking about tabloid legend Gersh Kuntzman, who has been with New York newspapers since 1989, including stints at the New York Daily News, the Post, the Brooklyn Paper and even a cup of coffee with the Times. He&#8217;s also the writer and producer of &#8220;Murder at the Food Coop,&#8221; which was a hit at the NYC Fringe Festival in 2016, and “SUV: The Musical” in 2007.
