A four way stop is urban. A roundabout, a real one with yield signs, (Ottawa having roundabouts with traffic lights) is as autocentric suburbia as they come. (not as autcentric as the displaced left turn intersection (DLT) replacing roundabouts)

Not saying this is an unban oasis in anyway. Brian Coburn Boulevard is infamously dangerous and congested, and I'm no fan of roundabouts. However, in a City where the vast majority of densification pressures going in the urban area (inside the Greenbelt), it's nice to see a multi storey apartment building in a low density suburban community.
