Galway - St. John's Newest Development

Danny is taking the city to court as the city is holding back permits yet again. This time they want a roundabout where 2 traffic studies determined a traffic light near the Costco/Starbucks entrance. Traffic lights are in the million dollar range....the roundabout would require a large amount of land as well as the reconfiguring of underground services such as water, sewer and electrical, bringing the price tag between 3 and 4 million.

Danny said the roundabouts are too close too each other. Same thing when the city said back in 2017 that they're building 3 roundabouts on Prince Phillip Drive but nothing has been done since. But we're a year away from the road being over capacity. These roundabouts should be built first before the city wants other ones built.

Not to defend the city, but they have a bunch of them on the planning books. They are starting the Majors Path/Portugal Cv Rd/Windsor Heights roundabout this year apparently. This is a multiyear project, in a very high traffic setting. I'm sure there's no appetite for 2 such projects at the same time.

Under Armour is opening a 10,000 sq ft store in the parking lot across from Marshall's and Dollarama. Construction has already started with footings being poured now. It's possible that they could be open in time for Christmas.
