They could so something as simple as this to provide access to Highway 16 and the nearby commercial areas. These designs could also make the Highway safer as it could also remove the need for all those Intersections between Highway 16 and 1A.

Pallister didn't like the price he'd get for all the land he owns adjacent to the intersection. And nobody has been willing to deal with CNR.

The RM and province keep parceling out land right there too for industrial development. It gets worse and worse further and further way from solving the issues with the TCH because there's no space to work with.

BTW the roundabout style interchanges they built at the west end of the Portage By Pass are brutal. Jack-knifed semis there all winter. Better than the semis crashing into the bridge I guess.

I don't think our drivers are up to handling a roundabout interchange, particularly in winter driving conditions. Nobody knows how to drive without speeding or slamming on the brakes.
