Is there any chance we could see some of our diamond-type interchanges get reconstructed to eliminate some of the more needless lights in the city? I'm not sure although I assume a roundabout requires more surface area - traffic engineers, any ideas?

There were 2 roudabouts built for the temporary Glenmore/37th interchange, and they work beautifully. Having looked at the plans for that intersection as part of the SW Ring Road, they will be removed, and a standard bridge with lights at both ends will be installed (if the Tsuu T'ina route is chosen). (Though the plan also explored putting one in in Signal Hill, between the A&W and the PetroCanada. If there was ever a location that could use one, I think that would be it.)
It's a shame, but it looks as if roundabouts are only being built for single lane interactions. Does anyone know if the city has a policy about roundabouts, especially multi-lane roundabouts?
