Traffic does not stop at roundabouts (theoretically). Traffic stops at traffic lights (guaranteed). That's where pedestrians are safer.

I wasn't advocating for a roundabout there, I was advocating for an upgrade to 3 lanes -- 1 through each way and 1 turning -- instead of 5. This increases the level of service for left turners without comprimising safety to pedestrians at an intersection that the City itself says has high pedestrian traffic.
