Well, with the incipient relocation of the Codiac RCMP from their current building to their new digs on Albert Street (in a couple of years time), there is actually the potential for a "big fix", costing millions of dollars.
It would entail a realignment of East Main so that it would feed directly onto Assumption Blvd, with a "T" shaped intersection allowing westbound traffic to access the downtown portion if Main Street via a right hand turning lane.
On the other side of downtown, you could actually have a continuation of Assumption Blvd extending beyond Vaughan Harvey, and reconnecting with West Main in the west end of the city, allowing unimpeded cross town traffic flow.
This is an interesting thought experiment. I'm currently at work and therefore can't come up with a design to post, but maybe I'll do something up tonight.
