It'll be a vast improvement. However, it will require proper signalling by drivers to make it flow well since there are five approaches and speed is another factor as the top right corner has two very close entrances. I'm glad to see it finally has a start.

There is a five point roundabout in Moncton at Killam/Collishaw. I find it works very well, and is a definite improvement over what was there before.

Were talking about Island drivers here!!! I guess if it works there, it should work here. I'm sure island drivers, especially those in Charlottetown, have grown accustomed to them.

The steel is going up!

Before the Design Review Board:

The following ‘Design Review’ has been prepared for two identical 24-unit Apartment Buildings on the subject property located at 25 St. Martha’s Court in Charlottetown (i.e. St. Dunstan’s University Property just off Mount Edward Rd.).

The foundation is in for one of the apartments.

There are more roundabouts in Charlottetown than any Atlantic Canadian city, including a couple with 5 entries/exits.

What’s the other ones with 5 connections? Cornwall has the North River one with 5 roads but that’s the only one I can think of. When the Vogue Optical roundabout is finished I believe there will be 15 roundabouts. I believe HRM has 7 or 8.

Some Charlottetown residents worry a new subdivision planned for their neighbourhood may lead to traffic congestion in the area.

"There's going to be triple the number of cars coming through here in the morning ... It's dangerous. It's going to be horrendous. There's going to be a crash. And I don't want to be the one to turn around and say, I told you so."

Because the land was already zoned for housing, the city did not have to approve the project and residents were not notified about the development.

We need housing now! Why tie this up?! The traffic is bad everywhere. The same old excuses and complaints that tried to kill Sherwood Crossing and other developments. Did they think that this land was going to stay this way? Dumb as stumps they are!! I can see an IRAC appeall!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------

OFF TO IRAC WE GO!!

I was right!!

North-end Charlottetown residents make appeal to change plans for neighbouring subdivision

CBC NEWS PEI

MORE HERE >https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/princ...sion-1.6455605

150 people signed a petition to get city hall to stop the development and have also filed an appeal to IRAC. As one person said, "we're not against development.......!" but not in my backyard, right!
Maybe we need to get a petition started on how many people are looking for a place to live in Charlottetown. I bet it would be 20x more than the 150 signatures trying to stop it.

Halifax has at least 15 roundabouts functioning at the moment. There is at least one more opening this year built by HRM and I think nine more opening in 2023 built by the province.

You could say we like to go in circles!

I was incorrect. I thought the roundabout in Stratford connecting to the highway was five entries/exits, but it is four.
I don't know how many in total around Charlottetown. I would guess close to 25. There are 4 on the new Cornwall Bypass, I was driving in a new subdivision in Cornwall a few weeks ago and they had two small roundabouts.

670 University Avenue

Pan American Properties

I think this is the new BMO building.

APPROVED

684 University Avenue
Phase I: Foundation: New 4,800 sq. ft. commercial building
Pan American Properties
24-May-2

I wonder if that new 500sqft would be the new Tims and Wendys kind of a big foot print though

Does anyone know what is to go out by the International Truck Dealership as I see some work as started on the land.
