I hadn't seen this design before and it appears that it could handle traffic fairly well in all directions - though I can't see any time where the flow won't be primarily to/from the north.

It would be really neat to see the city use this design here.
Can you expand on this? From what I can tell I'm not sure this would be any better for peds & cyclists than your typical interchange.
