Other than that, with conversion to properly designed interchanges along its entire length, the 17 is good enough with 4 lanes in the foreseeable future, especially when it's not really connecting from city centre to another.
Hwy 91, on the other hand, needs to be at least 6 lanes throughout its entire length ASAP.

Yes, that intersection especially should have been built as an interchange from the start. The only silver lining is maybe that entire junction will be rebuilt soon similar to the Cape Horn, seeing how three major arteries converge in that area.
I would support the 99 being upgraded to 6 lanes, especially between the south approach of the AFB and where it meets the 99 in Richmond.
