This is the best I can come up with for Route 90/Academy/St James/Portage. It's facking hard.
What it solves:
⬆️ Removed both Academy lights. Free flowing in all important directions, eliminating bottleneck points.
⬆️ Removed St James light entirely. Long free flowing East/West Portage.
⏩ Early Portage WB to Route 90 SB overfly (dual lane) gives express access for WB Portage to SB Route 90 traffic. Previously had 3 stops. Now 0.
⏩ Direct St James AND Polo Park connections to SB Route 90. Relieves Ness @ Route 90 congestion upstream. Helping larger congestion picture.
⤴️ Free flowing St James SB to Portage EB solved. Heavy traffic uses this.
↪️ R-Cut allows local and existing traffic to access Polo and St James NB
⬆️ Pedestrian overpass for Polo bus stop removes another light.
Problems:
-Lots of bridges ($$)
-Some expropriation
-Location of existing bridges would cause insane construction traffic delays + challenges.
